Mint teeth whitening gels are also FDA registered & manufactured in NSF ISO Certified facilities.
There are many reasons why teeth become yellow. One of the reasons is that teeth will change color with age. The dentin, which is the interior of the tooth, will become more yellow over time. The enamel, which is the outer layer, gradually thins from years of brushing. Apart from that, teeth tend to get stained from various foods like curry as well as coffee, tea, and wine. Smoking and various medications can also contribute to discoloration. All these different types of discoloration can be addressed with the Mint Teeth Whitening Kit.
Very easily! After you’re done using the Mint LED tray, simply take it out of your mouth, unplug it, and rinse it thoroughly with warm water. For a more thorough clean, you may use gentle hand soap on the device but be sure to rinse it off with water when finished cleaning. Make sure to dry off the tray before storing it.
This will differ based on the size of your teeth and the overall area which you are whitening. Definitely use enough gel to coat each tooth entirely while avoiding any clumping or dripping. Typically, each pen contains about 15-20 treatments when used as directed.
Our proprietary gel consists of 35% Carbamide Peroxide, Potassium Nitrate, EDTA-2Na, Glycerol, Deionized PVP, Peppermint Oil, Triethanolamine, Chamomile Extract, Raw Coffee Extract, and Ginseng Extract.

Typically it is recommended to use the product for 10 to 20 minutes per day for 20 to 30 days of continuous usage. It happens very rarely but if you happen to experience any sensitivity, take a break for 1 to 3 days before continuing. After that period, occasional usage of about once per week is recommended to maintain the perfect whiteness.
Everyone has different teeth and varying enamel thickness. Genetics also play a role in how sensitive your teeth are. Fortunately, we formulate our products to be suitable for everyone and reducing ANY sensitivity is our number one priority. The vast majority of our customers do not experience sensitivity at all both in teeth and gums. We’ve actually been recognized as one of the best teeth whitening solutions specifically for people with sensitive teeth as our products use more natural ingredients than competitors and do not contain ANY abrasive ingredients or harmful chemicals. If you had sensitivity issues in the past, there’s a good chance you’ll be very happy with our line of teeth whitening products!
While it’s near impossible to keep your teeth entirely dry due to saliva production whenever your mouth is engaged, it is recommended to slightly tilt your head facing upwards if you notice that too much saliva has made its way to the front of your teeth. Ideally you should keep the gel on your teeth undisturbed during the whitening process. A bonus tip is to relax since excess saliva production is associated with increased stress or anxiousness.
While it is ideal to use our kit for the recommended amount of 10 to 20 minutes per day for 20 to 30 days, you can use it more or less frequently depending on your schedule and desired results.
The use of red light has been correlated with numerous positive effects. From killing bacteria in the mouth to reducing overall pain as well as reducing inflammation in the gums.

We’ll never put questionable nonsense or harsh chemicals in our products like many of our competitors tend to do.
Absolutely! The Mint LED tray is water resistant and can be used in the shower and come in contact with water.
Results will vary depending on how you take care of your teeth and your overall dental health. Individuals who limit the intake of certain foods or beverages that are commonly associated with the staining of teeth will experience longer-lasting results. Some of these foods and beverages include coffee, tea, wine, soda, and foods like curry. You may mitigate much of the staining by brushing your teeth twice daily and after the consumption of said foods and beverages.
