Abstract: A three component system and method for whitening teeth that comprises four primary active ingredients. The first component is a pre-conditioning mouth rinse comprised of a dilute aqueous solution of acetic acid and flavor enhancing additives. This component cleanses the pellicle film on the user's teeth. The second component is a bleaching gel including hydrogen peroxide. This gel also includes flavor enhancers, preservatives or surfactants necessary to formulate the gel. The preferred concentration of hydrogen peroxide is about six percent. The third component of the teeth whitening system is a polishing and pigmenting cream or paste that includes an abrasive substance and a pigmenting agent. The abrasive agent is preferably an alumina silicate and the pigmenting agent is preferably titanium dioxide particles. Flavor enhancers, a carrier, thickening agents, surfactants, preservatives and water are also to formulate the cream or paste. Methods of use formulation of the products are included.
