Teeth Whitening Facts
Tips For A Dazzling Smile
Teeth can become discolored for many reasons. Most
apply to poor hygiene as we stated above. Coffee, tea and tobacco
are three culprits that come to mind. Those are just the tip of the
iceberg, however.
Any type of dental disease makes the enamel of the
teeth vulnerable to ugly discoloration. The problem is that by the
time we realize that our teeth have seriously deteriorated in color,
enough time has gone by that we usually have some type of dental health
problem which must be addressed before we can even begin to think
about “cosmetic” procedures.
Whitening is one of the primary reasons that people
consider cosmetic procedures. Studies by the American Dental Association
have shown that teeth with a yellowish tone will whiten well with
a bleaching process whereas teeth
that are brownish may not bleach well and grayish teeth may not bleach
well at all.
If you have had other cosmetic processes done and
then decide to try whitening, you could end up with a very undesirable
effect of not having all your teeth uniform in color. It’s important
to follow the advice of your dentist and not be swayed by advertising
or how your best friends’ work turned out!
Teeth whitening strips
Teeth whitening strips are probably the most convenient
advancement in dental care in decades taking the concept of tooth
bleaching to an entire new level of speed and convenience.
The whitening strips contain hydrogen peroxide which
is embedded in transparent material that fits over the teeth. Almost
totally undetectable when worn, the peroxide goes to work as soon
as they are activated by the moisture in your mouth. (Another good
reason to avoid dry mouth!)
There are several brand names on the market and all
work pretty much the same. They are applied over the teeth and worn
for 30 minutes twice a day for 21 days, or you may select the type
that can be worn overnight whitening the teeth while you are sleeping.
How long the effects last will vary depending on diet
and lifestyle. Your teeth will stain again, but you can lengthen the
time between incidences by avoiding tobacco, tea, red wine, colored
juices, curry, soy and soft drinks.
If you are on well water, you might want to have the
water tested. High concentrations of minerals in your water will cause
staining of your teeth. Or, you may just opt for bottled water.
The results from the teeth whitening strips are absolutely
incredible and you would do well to give them a try.
