Teeth Whitening Top 3

What's After Whitening?

Teeth Whitening is supposed to last between 1 and 3 years. BUt it will always be advised that after treatment, the necessari precautions should be taken to ensure that the new bleach is well taken care of to maximize the pleasant results. Most people are happy with the results anyway, and barely any have complained about disturbing affter effects from the procedure.

In keeping to a healthy regimen that will avoid teeth staining again, it is recommended for a patient to avoid foods and substances that are known for staining the teeth for about at least a week (eg. coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco). Brushing and flossing regularly will also help.

If after the treatment, there still exist these chalky white spots on your teeth (as these are not readily removable through the bleaching process), your dentist might recommend a microabrasion product that will help remove these hardened calcium deposits in your teeth. The reason they cannot be removed through the treatment is because they are not discolorations in themselves. They are actually build up of bacteria, not removed by prior brushing through a lengthened period of time.

However, not all bleaching procedures will be effective on everyone in the same way. Should your dentist recommend against one particular system of bleaching for you, then he can recommend you another procedure more suitable.

Laser power and home bleaching methods are among some of these alternatives. There are also a large selection of over-the-counter home bleaching kits and tooth whitening products sold in stores for you to choose from.

Now unless your dentist has prescribed a specific product, first jot down the project that's caught your eye and ask for your dentist's recommendation before you actually pay for the product.Because while these products are are becoming more and more popular among the general public, mostly due to its comparable cost efficiency as compared to going for a series of specialised in-office sessions, some dentists do not recommend them because of the increased risks due to inefficient formulation.

Dentists say that such products are not as effective as the ones used in dental clinics and thus may cause damage to the gums and enamel of our teeth.

Still, the products are out there, available to one and all. So if you are opting to do it yourself ... you may. But do so, responsibly. What could it hurt?
