The dentist will recommend a whitening treatment if he deems it fit. The procedure involved in teeth bleaching is as follows; the dentist applied a gel or rubber to protect your gums from any damage to the teeth surface. He goes on to apply the bleaching product on the teeth with the help of a tray that should assume the shape of your mouth. After this, the dentist issues some instructions that you could follow at home as the treatment continues.
There are active ingredients responsible for that whitening like carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. As soon as the active ingredient begins to break, oxygen gets into the enamel of the teeth which makes it lighter. This treatment lasts for as long as three to four weeks
Let us not forget there is still another option of teeth whitening known as laser teeth whitening. Once again in the laser treatment a rubber dam is placed as a shield on the gums to prevent any form of damage and the application of a teeth whitening product follows suit. A laser is used to trigger the chemical applied which boosts the chemical effect of the bleaching product applied to change the color rapidly.
This treatment is the fastest as it lasts for just under an hour. The bleaching could last for as long as three years, this definitely depends on the foods and drinks an individual consumes, so it varies with individuals.
Your teeth becoming sensitive to cold are symptoms of the laser treatment, but these symptoms vanish after a period of few days. There are so many teeth whitening products out there that can help fight tooth stains. Although, one thing for sure is that these products cannot change the natural color of your teeth.
After undergoing a teeth whitening treatment, you are advised to use a teeth whitening paste to sustain that bright and white shiny teeth.
There are many efforts that can be put in place to fight teeth discoloration and maintain that white color. Avoid smoking. Smokers are liable to heavy teeth discoloration through tobacco stains. Ensure you clamp down on the amount of food or drinks that are responsible for teeth discoloration.
Finally, make a habit of brushing your teeth as often as thrice a day.
