This didn't go thru so I shortened it and trying again.

Several times during recent years we have conducted examinations of commercial
products
designed to whiten teeth. We experienced very limited success. However,
recently, we completed a somewhat more detailed investigation and were able to
find a single product which, did, indeed,
display an excellent ability to whiten teeth, quickly---and to do so without
attendant pain or discomfort...at least such was our results. I feel somewhat
professionally uncomfortable, even juvenile, in stating the name of the
product----Celebrity Sexy Teeth. In spite of its rather sophomoric identifier,
this substance did, indeed, produce whitening improvements up to 8 shades
among the volunteer population----sometimes within 10 to 12 days. Some of the
other products had cost prices which would equal over $600.00 for a full
treatment regime. None of these highly-hyped
products equaled...or even approached....the effectiveness of the Celebrity
product. All of the products which exhibited any useful effect, contained
varying percentages of hydrogen peroxide.
However, and this is the reason for my submitting this email.....we were able
for a cost of mere pennies, to produce a simple mixture that was SUBSTANTIALLY
more powerful than the Celebrity product (which, by the way, was not overly
expensive). Our homemade solution was produced in light of the fact that we had
determined the PRINCIPAL advantage of the Celebrity product seemed to lie in
its superior ability to rapidly affect the deeper regions of the
enamel.....than did any of its competitors. After simple variations in strength
ratios between common commercial, drugstore hydrogen peroxide, and DMSO....we
arrived at an acceptable compromise between user comfort---and rapid results.
Our most acceptable mixture (all parameters considered) turned out to be one of
approximately 80% (by volume) of 3.5% Hydrogen Peroxide (the standard drugstore
variety) and 20% DMSO (full strength parent solution). One easy way for the
novice to mix is to pour about 2 tablespoons o! f H202 in a very small glass
and about 1 teaspoon of DMSO. Caution: As DMSO is highly hygroscopic, one
should always pour the DMSO into the parent diluent. The actual method-of-use
of this solution is at the discretion of the experimenter. Some persons simply
hold about a teaspoon of the solution in their mouth and brush their teeth with
a toothbrush for about 20 seconds. However, many persons are intolerant of the
bitterness of this percentage of DMSO and/or cannot tolerate the gag-reflex
sometimes presenting. Therefore, the most acceptable method among a majority of
our volunteers was to simply use a common Q-Tip swab which had been enlarged by
adding enough additional cotton to about double the size....dip it into the
solution and "generously paint" the front surface of the front teeth.
Effectiveness was enhanced by keeping the top lip above the treated surface for
about 2 minutes. It was, also, worthwhile to paint the teeth a second time
about 60 seconds into ea! ch protocol. A second 2 minute application became
standard procedure for the volut!
eers during the course of this research investigation.
Some of the volunteers utilized stronger H202 solutions (up to 6%) and some
employed much stronger DMSO fractions (+20%). However, the one outlined above
proved to be most effective.....and was DEFINITELY SUPERIOR to the commercial
Celebrity product-----which was the only one of the commercial variety to yield
acceptable results during our investigations.
None of the volunteers experienced any untoward side-effects, whatsoever, while
using the "paint on" method just outlined. A majority of our participants
enjoyed quite rapid whitening and in shorter time-spans than with the Celebrity
product. Incidently....at about 1/50th the cost.
I hope some of the list membership will find this information of value.
