Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients are in POOOF!® Whitening Strips?

Are POOOF!® Whitening Strips safe for my teeth?
Yes! They are created with a neutral pH and the HA (hydroxyapatite) actually helps protect enamel.
Can I eat and drink while wearing whitening strips?
No! Wait until the strips dissolve. Typically 10-15 minutes.
Can I use whitening strips if I have sensitive teeth?
YES!!! Even if you have had sensitivity in the past, you may not have any with POOOF!®. We have designed POOOF!® with a proprietary P3 additive plus hydroxyapatite to decrease sensitivity. If you do, it is important to know that any tooth sensitivity as a result of whitening is always transitory and will always dissipate.
How long will it take to see results with whitening strips?
Results are often seen immediately after the first use! However, in an independent clinical study, after a 10-day in-vitro utilization, POOOF!® Whitening Strips showed 37% BETTER whitening than the leading whitening strips.
How do I store whitening strips properly?
It is best to store strips at room temperature. If you live in a warm climate you may keep the strips in a refrigerator, however under normal circumstances, this is not required.
Are whitening strips suitable for everyone?
White strips only work on natural teeth. However, if you have crowns or veneers and have stains in between your teeth, POOOF!® may be effective in removing superficial stains.
Can I use whitening strips if I have braces or other orthodontic appliances?
If you are doing Invisalign, or your braces are lingual braces (behind your teeth), you can use POOOF!®. If your braces are on the front surfaces of your teeth, then you should wait until you are finished with your orthodontic treatment to do POOOF!®.
Isn’t a whitening toothpaste enough to whiten my teeth?
No! Whitening toothpastes can't REALLY whiten teeth. The best that they can do is possibly remove superficial stains, which POOOF!® will also do.
How do POOOF!® Whitening Strips dissolve?
POOOF!® strips are mainly made of a food-grade water soluble polymer (starch) which has been created to dissolve and melt in 10-15 minutes with normal saliva. These strips are impregnated with hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyapatite and P3 technology.
What are HA and P3 ingredients?
HA is hydroxyapatite. It forms approximately 97% of tooth dentine and enamel and plays an important role in reducing tooth sensitivity and protecting enamel during whitening procedures. P3 is a proprietary formula which is a blend of hydrogen peroxide and two polyphosphates which act in combination to increase whitening at lower peroxide levels.
