A NEW SPECIAL WHITENING TECHNIQUE
In recent
years teeth bleaching has become a huge
phenomenon. More and more people are opting for teeth whitening to improve
their smile. After looking at near perfect teeth of Hollywood celebrities and
models, men and women of all ages are now using different methods available for
teeth whitening.
It is no
mystery that whiter teeth give a more youthful appearance. It is important to
get the right information before opting for any kind of teeth whitening.
There is a lot of confusion about which
products to use, how to use, where to buy, consulting a dentist etc. There are
also a lot of products on the market that are ineffective and costly. Many
people are also unaware of the implications of teeth whitening.
The
controversy: Some dentists believe that tooth bleeding is more effective with the
use of lasers and other sources of light, while others are of the opinion that
the effect of tooth bleaching remains the same, with or without the use of
lasers or lights.
The light
aids the bleaching process by quickly converting the peroxide into the reactive
oxygen free radicals. The effect speeds up the bleaching process and also makes
it more intense giving better whitening results.
With the
lights, all the ‘teeth fluids’ could be moving out of the teeth. So, bleach
will have to go against the flow to get into the teeth. This could make for a
very inefficient technique as the bleach is always fighting against the
current.
The final
result of this may be that the teeth lose water or dehydrate and appear whiter
for a temporary time, usually around 72 hours. After that they begin to recover
and absorb water from the saliva, much like a sponge and they turn dark again.
There are a
number of factors that determine the end results of any tooth whitening
products. One of the most important factors is the present state of the teeth.
In general patients having a darker set of
teeth show better results than lighter teeth. Also the degree of relapse of
tooth whitening achieved will vary from patient to patient.
Some
patients are able to sustain their results for longer time than others.
As a matter
of fact, even the different teeth in a patient’s mouth show different results,
despite using the same product.
Teeth
whitening , like any other treatment or surgical operation, needs to be done
under the supervision of an expert.
Side effects
The high
hydrogen peroxide concentration was related to increased sensitivity in teeth
to hot and cold. Gum irritation was usual and the risk of ingesting the product
overnight causing nausea, vomiting and a burning sensation.
