A dental bleaching gel composition having a long shelf life for use with an activator system to cause accelerated bleaching action of a peroxide bleaching agent in the bleaching gel composition when applied upon a tooth surface and to a method for applying and activating a dental bleaching gel upon a tooth surface for cosmetically whitening the tooth and/or for the treatment of stains or discolorations over a shortened time period. The dental bleaching gel has a pH independent thickening agent, a stabilizing agent for the peroxide bleaching agent and a FD & C approved dye. The activator system comprises an activator for accelerating the bleaching action of the peroxide bleaching agent and an applicator for storing the activator in a dry form separated from the bleaching gel composition such that upon contacting the applicator to the bleaching gel composition the peroxide bleaching agent contained in the gel is activated with the applicator being used to substantially simultaneously apply the bleaching gel to the tooth or teeth to be bleached.
A dental bleaching composition for bleaching and whitening the teeth of a mammal comprising a peroxide bleaching agent, a thickening agent for forming a viscous gel, an FD & C approved dye and at least one bleaching agent stabilizer for minimizing the affect of said peroxide bleaching agent on dye discoloration during storage of the peroxide bleaching agent and dye for use in combination with an enzymatic activator comprising Catalase to cause sufficient catalytic activation of said peroxide bleaching agent for whitening said teeth.
An activator system for activating a peroxide bleaching composition containing a peroxide bleaching agent to bleach and whiten teeth, said activator system including dried particles of a soluble activator comprising Catalase for accelerating the bleaching action of said peroxide bleaching agent and an applicator for storing the dried particles of activator separated from the bleaching composition such that upon contacting the applicator to the bleaching composition the peroxide bleaching agent is activated by substantially simultaneous application of the applicator to the teeth to be bleached.
A method for applying and activating a dental bleaching gel upon a tooth surface for cosmetically whitening the tooth and/or for the treatment of stains or discolorations comprising the steps of;
