Products purchased for home use typically will typically have a concentration of hydrogen peroxide of 5-20%. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding length of time to apply it to teeth.

  • Carbamide peroxide - an alternative active ingredient used in tooth whitening products. It breaks down into hydrogen peroxide.
