The first type is called hydrogen peroxide and the other is carbamide peroxide. This substance, namely peroxide, is one of the most effective ingredients used for eliminating and removing tooth stains. However, this method is not without a problem. The only problem peroxide has is that it burns the gums. Therefore, some other sort of solution is mixed up with peroxide to reduce the possibility of causing any burning.
