Abstract:
1. A method of whitening teeth, comprising: a) providing a viscous whitening compound; b) the viscous whitening compound being a viscous, solid whitening compound; c) the viscous solid whitening compound including a whitening agent, and the whitening agent including by weight percent 5-45% urea hydrogen peroxide; d) the viscous solid whitening compound having a viscosity in a solid, unflowable formulation of about 5000 cps as measured by a Brookfield viscometer (spindle 5 @ 12 rpm at 25° Celsius); e) providing a container for containing the viscous whitening compound, the container configured for being held by a user and including an actuator configured for forcing a dispensed quantity of the viscous whitening compound out of the container; f) applying the dispensed quantity of the viscous solid whitening compound on a user's teeth; g) the step of applying the dispensed quantity of the viscous solid whitening compound being performed by applying sufficient pressure on the dispensed quantity of the viscous solid whitening compound directly on a surface of the user's tooth with the container held by the user; h) the container being a lipstick-type cylindrical dispenser; and i) the step of applying the dispensed quantity of the viscous solid whitening compound on the user's teeth being performed by contacting the user's teeth only with the dispensed quantity of the viscous solid whitening compound.
