Q. Every time I hear about teeth whitening I think of using bleach and consider it really unsafe. Is teeth whitening safe?

A. If teeth whitening directions are followed, it is. Dental offices have been doing it for years and it has proven to be both safe and rewarding. The great thing is that now you don’t have to go to the doctor’s office and can do it at home. Miracles for Men recommend that if you have teeth sensitivity or gum irritations, you can reduce the frequency of use.

Q. Exactly how does the tooth whitening process occur?

A. In the teeth whitening process, Carbamide Peroxide, which is the active ingredient, is broken down and oxygen is allowed to enter the tooth enamel bleaching the embedded stains. The good thing about it is that fillings, crowns, bondings etc are not affected. Only the tooth enamel gets a lighter and whiter shade.

Q. What are the possible side effects of tooth whitening? I do not wish to have sensitive teeth permanently.

A. Most teeth whitening gets cause some degree of tooth sensitivity. This is normal and it might include sensitivity to cold/hot fluids and sometimes air. It is very important to seek medical advice or discontinue use if the sensitivity does not reduce within 48 hours. Sometimes using an over the counter toothpaste that contains potassium nitrate as the active ingredient might help.

Q. How long will I start noticing tooth whitening after using your products?

A. The majority of people take within 2-3 weeks to see any effects in tooth whitening. However, we at Miracles for Men have seen that results may vary from one person to another. Some have dramatic results in a few days while others will notice the effects in a few months but the results are always heartening.

Q. How long will the teeth whitening last? I am hoping for a very long time.

A. At Miracles for Men, we have noticed that after whitening, the colour may fade lightly but then remain stable from 6 months to up to a year. It is always a good idea to touch up every 4-6 months to have a longer lasting effect. After all who does not wish to have a white smile for more than a year? You should however note that exposure to coffee, tea, tobacco, red wines will eventually darken your teeth over time.

Q. I have heard that Carbamide Peroxide is used in teeth whitening. Is it harmful to my health?

A. Carbamide Peroxide is the active ingredient in professional teeth whitening gels. It has been shown to have no significant effect on those using it for many years. It is basically a variant of Hydrogen Peroxide and provides the chemical reaction required to safely whiten your teeth. Miracles for Men are only interested in giving you the safest teeth whitening products.

Q. I have heard so much about Creatine. What is it?

A. Creatine is basically a combination of three amino acids: arginine, glycine and methionine. Its basic function is to provide energy to your muscles for quick and explosive movement. Miracles for Men recommend creatine as one of the most important weight training supplements around.

Q. Why would anyone take Creatine?

A. Many bodybuilders and professional athletes use creatine and it works well for them. At Miracles for Men we have found that using Creatine will greatly enhance your energy and strength during workouts and if you are new to using creatine, you are likely to see quick muscle gain in a short time. It helps anyone training reduce their reliance on glycosis. Reduced lactic acid in your body allows you to workout longer and harder.
