What is Pola Night?
Pola Night is an advanced take-home tooth whitening kit from SDI. It is designed to make at-home whitening safe, convenient and effective for users. Part of SDI’s wider Pola whitening range, Pola Night is specifically designed for patients who prefer to whiten their teeth overnight. It is one of the most widely used teeth whitening systems worldwide with millions of users.
How Does Pola Night Work?
Pola Night contains carbamide peroxide (CP). This is the ingredient that penetrates the enamel of the tooth and oxidises the dark pigment molecules within. By breaking down darkly coloured molecules, it bleaches the underlying tooth colour to a whiter shade. CP's oxidising power releases in the first 2 hours, then continues to work for up to 6 more hours. Because it spends more time in contact with the teeth, it is often used in products that are worn overnight like Pola Night.
Current EU regulations limit the amount of carbamide peroxide allowed in a whitening product to 16% for safety reasons. Pola Night comes in either a 16% concentration or 10%. The higher the CP strength, the stronger and quicker the results.
