Do You Need To Agitate Your Whitening Gel?

🎙️ Whitening Wednesday Episode 95: Do You Need To Agitate Your Whitening Gel?

📣In this episode, we tackle the question: do you really need to agitate your whitening gel? We break down why some brands recommend shaking or stirring, the science behind stabilizers and thickeners, and how oxidization affects gel stability.

You’ll learn why high-quality gels shouldn’t need “waking up,” how agitation can waste chair time and increase gingival risk, and what to ask your supplier about gel handling.

By the end, you’ll know that a properly formulated gel is ready to use straight from the syringe.
