A dental whitening procedure is always recommended, especially if you used to have an unhealthy diet consuming red whine, large quantities of coffee, cigarettes and black tea. The in office treatment is very efficient, with low risks and the results usually last long. How does this thing work? First, the doctor examines your oral condition, if there aren’t any plagues or teeth cracks, what is the level of discoloration and approximately, what concentration of carbamide peroxide is needed for the procedure. Then, he applies carefully a bleaching gel on your teeth at the same time protecting your gums with a special ingredient. After the gel is applied, he puts in function a laser apparatus and activates the gel with it. After the whole process is over, you rinse your mouth with a special cleaning liquid, which strengthens your enamel at the same time. For 24 hours you will not consume anything that is too hot or too cold. The treatment cost from $500 to $1000, or it could be even more in case you have additional dental trouble.
Because in office teeth whitening is so expensive, no too many people choose it. They prefer products sold over the counter. Yes, the advertisers may tell you that these are top teeth whitening products, or the best teeth whitening strips, but when it comes to medicine, you cannot simply trust advertisers. The disadvantages of dental bleaching products are that they can be used in a wrong way, and can cause damage to your gums and enamel if you have additional dental problems that you aren’t aware of. Plus, you can get irregular whitening results, and this won’t look very good. It is advisable to use one such product only after a consultation with a dentist. He will decide what sort of bleaching agent work best for your level of tooth stains.
