Our Frequently Asked Questions
How does HellaWhite teeth whitening work?
Our whitening strips and kits use safe, enamel-friendly ingredients to lift stains and brighten your smile. The active whitening agents break down discoloration on the surface of your teeth, leaving them visibly whiter.
Are HellaWhite products safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes! Our formula is designed to be gentle on enamel and minimise sensitivity.
How long does it take to see results?
Most users notice a difference after just a few uses, with full results typically visible in 7–14 days.
How long do results last?
With good oral hygiene, your whiter smile can last for months. Avoiding staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine can help maintain your results longer.
Can I use HellaWhite if I have dental work?
Our whitening products are safe for natural teeth but may not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. Consult your dentist if you're unsure.
How often can I use HellaWhite whitening strips?
You can use them daily for the recommended treatment period. After that, occasional touch-ups can help maintain your results.
Do your products contain peroxide?
Our whitening strips and kits are formulated to be both safe and effective, using a peroxide-free whitening agent called PAP (Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid). Check individual product details for specific ingredients.
Can I use HellaWhite while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Although our ingredients are safe, we recommend consulting with your doctor before using any whitening products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Do HellaWhite products work on deep stains?
Yes! Our whitening formula is effective on most surface and deep stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and smoking. However, very stubborn or intrinsic stains may require longer use or professional treatment.
Can I eat or drink after using HellaWhite strips?
It’s best to wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything other than water. Avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine for the best results.
Do I need to brush my teeth before or after using whitening strips?
If your teeth are feeling a bit furry, clean your teeth and then wait 30 minutes before applying the strips. After you shouldn't have to brush, there may be some product left on your teeth but this is easily swilled away with water or wiped off with your finger.
Can teenagers use HellaWhite products?
Our products are target to users 16 and older. If younger teens want to whiten their teeth, we recommend consulting with a dentist first. But the first rule is to brush your teeth!
What should I do if I experience gum irritation?
Stop using immediately and consult a dentist if you're concerned.
