Note to all my movie going friends.
Beware of those little translucent shells, they will be most difficult for you to remove should they lodge themselves beneath your gingivae.

So far, no studies have indicated any deliterious effects to enamel. Do be careful if you have any areas of gingival. The carbimide (urea) peroxide will cause transient pulpitis (READ: severe pain) with prolonged exposure to said locations.
