Facts on Aquafresh Teeth Whitening Trays

Aquafresh White Trays are pre-packaged with a whitening gel, so you don't have to fill the trays yourself. A tray for your upper and lower teeth is worn for 45 minutes, once per day. Aquafresh claims you can see results in as few as three days.

History

• GlaxoSmithKline introduced Aquafresh White Trays in January 2007. One way the company promoted the product was by partnering in a media campaign with Smiles for Success, which offers free dental services to women in need.

Design

• The soft and flexible trays were designed by dentists to better mold to the contours of your teeth to help them fit more comfortably in your mouth.

Ingredients

• The whitening gel in the trays includes such whitening agents as hydrogen peroxide, potassium hydroxide and citric acid, as well as other ingredients like purified water and flavoring.

Contents

• Each Aquafresh White Trays package contains seven disposable trays for your upper teeth and seven trays for your lower teeth.

Age

• The trays are made to be used by adults and children who are at least 12 years old. The manufacturer warns on the product's box to keep the trays out of reach of young children.

Potential Side Effects

• Using the whitening trays may temporarily cause your gums to feel sensitive. Also, if you are allergic to any of the product's ingredients, you might experience a reaction.
