Know Everything About Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening to some degree is in the realm of dentistry a controversial topic. It is a mainstream service offered by countless expert particularly restorative dental specialists; however some consider it to be a potential wellbeing risk whenever done excessively or mistakenly.

There is a lot of misinformation on internet, some deem teeth whitening to be a mistake, and however some support the cause.

Let’s find out how does teeth whitening work?

  • The professional teeth whitening process starts with a consultation with your dentist.
  • If you have large fillings or crowns (caps) on your front teeth, then teeth brightening for you might not be a good idea.
  • After one is comfortable, the dentist usually inserts a lip retractor into one’s mouth, which is just a plastic guide that moves the lips out of the way so teeth are easy to access.
  • The dentist will then cover your gums around your front teeth with a gel and then harden it with a high-powered light.
  • This is called a gingival barrier, and it protects your gums from the teeth bleaching chemicals during the whitening process.
  • The genuine brightening measure includes the dental specialist applying a gel made of 15% to 35% hydrogen peroxide to your front teeth.
  • Hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the porous outer layer of your teeth and break apart stain compounds using a chemical reaction called oxidation.
  • The dentist will rinse off the gel and reapply a fresh coat as many times as necessary within the space of about 40 minutes.
  • While the effects of whitening might last for quite a long time, however the stain on teeth might return after sometimes.
