Many dentists use teeth whitening machines with peroxide based chemicals that have the ability to eliminate stains from teeth through an oxidation process. The peroxide chemical is able to penetrate inner part of teeth with a few minutes of application and release free radicals. The chemical thus oxidizes the colour producing organic compounds present within the enamel’s matrix and completely eliminate the yellowish stain.
