FAQs
Is POPWHITE recommended by dental professionals?
Yes! Dentists and Hygienists recommend POPWHITE. Dental professionals also USE our professional products to polish their patients' teeth after cleanings. The technology used for our dental professional products is the exact same technology used in our at-home products.
What is the damage to the Oral Rinse bottle that is currently on sale?
Fortunately, the bottle only sustained damage, not the whitening rinse! Our bottles have a dent, and we accidentally printed the wrong expiration date on them. We have corrected the manufacturing date by placing a sticker over the incorrect one. We cannot fix the dent, which is minor and cosmetic. Enjoy using the Oral Rinse for whiter teeth and fresher breath!
My teeth have been sensitive to other whitening products; can I use POPWHITE products?
Absolutely! POPWHITE products provide a natural, sensitivity free approach to teeth whitening. POPWHITE products are peroxide free.
Conventional whitening products rely on peroxide, a type of bleach. To whiten teeth, peroxide breaks up stain molecules in dental enamel. However, doing so contributes to wearing down the enamel and may cause tooth sensitivity.
Will POPWHITE products whiten all types of teeth?
Yes. POPWHITE technology has been shown to whiten and brighten natural teeth and most types of dental work, including veneers, crowns and even dentures.
Where is POPWHITE made?
POPWHITE is manufactured in the USA. We use only the highest quality ingredients and make our products in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
Where is POPWHITE available for purchase?
POPWHITE is available for purchase through www.popwhitesmile.com. We are also available at Amazon, Walmart.com, & Etsy. POPWHITE products are also available in a growing number of dental offices. (If you don't see it in yours, ask your dental office to carry it.)
Can I set up automatic monthly shipments of POPWHITE Toothpaste and Oral Rinse?
The POPWHITE subscription service is available on Amazon and will be available on our website shortly.
How does POPWHITE whiten and brighten my teeth?
POPWHITE features a new way to whiten and brighten teeth based on complementary color theory. Purple and yellow, complements on the color wheel, cancel each other out. POPWHITE products leverage this with Power of Purple® (“POP”) oral care products that cancel out the visibility of yellow dental stains!
And now for the long answer (for our fellow beauty geeks):
Conventional dental whitening products rely on some form of peroxide; however, when peroxide breaks apart stains, it contributes to changes in enamel structure and may cause sensitivity. POPWHITE products are peroxide free and whiten teeth using a combination of (i) color theory; and (ii) premium ingredients such as xylitol and coconut oil that support dental whitening.
POPWHITE toothpaste and oral rinse contain the following ingredients for dental whitening & brightening:
(1) Color Correcting Technology
Colors opposite each other on the color wheel, such as purple and yellow, are complements. Due to the nature of color perception, complements cancel each other out. POPWHITE's purple oral care formulas cancel out the visibility of yellow dental stains. This Power of Purple ("POP") color technology is proprietary and made solely of FDA approved pigments.
Brushing with POPWHITE toothpaste and rinsing with POPWHITE oral rinse leaves a small number of purple micro-particles on the surface of teeth and in between dental enamel rods. These are the same areas often occupied by stain particles. Most dental stains are yellow; POPWHITE's purple micro-particles overlay the yellow stains and help cancel them out.
POPWHITE is proven to whiten teeth safely and gradually. Clinical trials demonstrate that POPWHITE toothpaste and POPWHITE oral rinse when used together twice a day for fourteen days, whiten teeth an average of four shades.
(2) Xylitol
Brushing and rinsing with xylitol reduces plaque and tartar and protects enamel; xylitol therefore helps teeth look better and brighter.
(3) Coconut Oil
Brushing and rinsing with coconut oil leaves a glossy sheen on the surface of teeth which reflects more light and makes teeth appear brighter.
(4) Hydrated Silica (toothpaste only)
Brushing with hydrated silica, a very gentle abrasive, helps remove surface stains and results in a silky polished finish.
How long does it take for POPWHITE to whiten my teeth?
While results vary, you will see visible whitening results within fourteen days. For the best results, use the POPWHITE toothpaste and oral rinse together.
Does POPWHITE whiten my teeth permanently?
With continuous daily use, whitening effects are optimized and maintained. If you stop using the product the whitening benefits disappear.
How is POPWHITE different from other whitening toothpastes and strips?
POPWHITE is designed to be an easy-to-use daily system with no extra steps - unlike a whitening system with timed protocols, trays, or strips.
Additionally, conventional dental whitening products rely on peroxide, a bleach which may affect enamel structure and cause sensitivity. POPWHITE is peroxide free and utilizes our proprietary color correcting technology.
Why doesn't POPWHITE use hydrogen peroxide or fluoride?
Conventional whitening products rely on peroxide, a type of bleach. In order to whiten teeth, peroxide breaks up stain molecules in dental enamel. However, in doing so, it contributes to wearing down the enamel and may cause tooth sensitivity.
POPWHITE instead relies on color theory and the “Power of Purple” to cancel out the visibility of yellow dental stains.
In addition, to meet the growing demand for fluoride free oral care, POPWHITE’s products are fluoride free (but can be used in conjunction with a standard fluoride toothpaste if desired).
Is POPWHITE FDA approved?
Ingredients used in POPWHITE products are FDA approved.
Does POPWHITE contain SLS?
POPWHITE does not contain Sodium lauryl sulfate.
Are POPWHITE products Gluten Free? Vegetarian? Vegan?
Yes & Yes & Yes !
What is Xylitol?
Xylitol, commonly derived from birch trees, is an all-natural substance which helps in reducing plaque and rebuilding enamel. It is a dental powerhouse supported by numerous clinical studies.
Will POPWHITE purple permanently stain lips & tongue or fabrics?
Because POPWHITE is a dental cosmetic it may leave color on your lips or tongue – this is temporary and will wear off quickly. Avoid rigorous rinsing as that will decrease the dental whitening effect.
Wash fabrics as you normally would; POPWHITE purple washes right out!
How do I use POPWHITE Toothpaste?
Use POPWHITE in place of your ordinary toothpaste: brush teeth thoroughly (twice daily, every day).
How do I use POPWHITE Oral Rinse?
Use POPWHITE in place of your ordinary oral rinse: rinse thoroughly using POPWHITE toner (twice daily, every day) after brushing.
