What to put in a water flosser to whiten teeth? ›

Enhance your teeth whitening with hydrogen peroxide by incorporating a water flosser. The water flosser complements the whitening process, ensuring a thorough and effective cleaning for a brighter smile when using hydrogen peroxide.

Like many chemicals, hydrogen peroxide is only safe in small doses. While hydrogen peroxide is generally recognized as safe for whitening, the key lies in using it in appropriate concentrations. Anything stronger than a 3% concentration is dangerous, and many whitening products dilute the solution even further.

Tooth whitening is most often done using peroxide-based bleaching agents. At-home systems contain from 3% to 20% peroxide (carbamide or hydrogen peroxides). In-office systems contain from 15% to 43% peroxide. Generally, the stronger the solution and the longer you keep it on your teeth, the whiter your teeth become.
