Teeth Whitening Top 3

You Can Do It At Home

Who doesn't want that whiter brighter smile? While it is possible to see your dental care professional to perform the treatment on you, such systems can sometimes be costly. But do not fret, if need be, there is a more economical way to do it ... and you can do it yourself, in your own home ...

Just like the whitening agents your dentist would use, the whitening gels of the do-it-at-home kits will often use 10 to 20 percent carbamide peroxide to bleach. Look out for brands that contain more than 10 percent. Products which do should also have a sodium fluoride as well to lessen sensitivity in the teeth after the treatments. This will also help with strengthening.

Now, though we say you will be able to do this at home, you will still have to start off with ONE visit to your dentist because to
begin your at-home procedure, your dentist will have to take impressions of your teeth at his clinic so that he can make your nightguards custom made to you. Once you have this, you are all set to take it home and do it yourself.

All it takes is putting a thin amount of the whitening gel into the mouthpiece, which is actually a tray made from soft material to avoid irritation to the mouth, and then wearing it for the duration of time prescribed by your dentist. He would be the best to make this kind of recommendation to you as he would be using his examination of your particular teeth's current situation, as basis for it. Usually, the instruction would involve wearing it for at leat 2 hours in one day, whether during the day or while at night, while sleeping.

Normally, results in this kind of whitening system is usually seen in between 1-2 weeks' time. But for those with more serious discolorations, it could take up to 6 weeks. These systems reportedly achieve about 12-15 shades lighter than the original hue in most patients but should you decide to employ a combination treatment wherein you do it at home but ALSO supplement these with treatments done by your dental professional, the same reults would be achieved faster.

The disadvantage that might be encountered by those who would opt to employ the over-the-counter tooth whitening products, is that should these individuals that have gums which are infected, or white spots on their teeth, or even decayed teeth, the whitening products may not necessarily be advisable. This is why it is always emphasized that should you decide to seek teeth whitening treatments, whether you opt for in-office or at-home types of treatments, it is still very important to FIRST consult your dental care professional about it so he may advise you best on how and when to go about the whole process.
