Teeth whitening continues to be a desired option
For some people to look good is to have a good look or dress well. For others, it's having a whiter smile. According to a survey, conducted in 2007 by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the quest for tooth whitening seems to increase every year. The results indicated a 15% increase over the 2005 survey (1).
Regarding whitening, there are a number of options to consider, starting with the place of the procedure, in the office or at home, the use over-the-counter products such as whitening toothpastes, whitening strips, whitening pens and whitening mouthwashes. It is important to consult your dentist for the type of bleaching recommended for your teeth, based on the color and what can be done to make them whiter and more attractive.
This whitening is performed in the office and can be completed in one, two or three consultations. There are two options in office whitening: 1) with the use of trays and 2) with the use of laser. In the first option, the mold is removed from the teeth and a tray is set in the patient's mouth. A whitening gel is applied to the patient's tray and teeth. This process may involve several visits to the office. Using the tray helps to reduce the contact of the bleaching gel with the gingival tissue.
In laser bleaching, the dentist uses a rubber dam or applies a protective gel to cover the gingival tissue. Thereafter, a whitening gel is applied to the teeth for a certain period of time. Ultraviolet laser light can be used to activate the bleaching agent present in the gel. The laser predicts positive results in whitening your smile. The options of whitening in the office are more expensive than those made at home. Patients who continue the procedure at home after a procedure in the office are offered whitening kits and in this case the results are longer lasting.
Home bleaching - The patient should make an appointment with the dentist to evaluate the type of home whitening that is recommended based on the color / shade of your teeth. The dentist makes a dental arcade mold to make the tray to be used for whitening and selects the appropriate whitening system for the patient. The dentist also instructs the patient on how and how many times a day to use the system for a week or two, monitoring the sensitivity of the teeth.
Over-the-counter products - This type of bleaching is self-administered and therefore it is important for the patient to read the instructions for use and what, in a specific way, needs to be done. Whitening strips, pre-fabricated paints, paint, toothpastes, and mouthwashes are available for over-the-counter whitening / whitening products.
The whitening strips contain active ingredient and are placed on the teeth up to twice daily for 30 minutes for a period of approximately two weeks.
Bleaching paints are actually paint placed on the areas of the teeth to be cleared. Depending on the type of paint, they can be used for several days.
Whitening toothpastes may contain more abrasive agents that remove extrinsic stains. The use of these toothpastes is the whitening method in which the teeth are exposed to the active ingredient for the shortest amount of time.
Oral rinses can also be used to whiten teeth. Consult your dentist to find out which rinses are best for you.
