Things you should know before considering teeth whitening






Before considering any of the Brampton teeth whitening methods, it is extremely important to understand how they work. Making an informed decision about a whitening treatment can ensure the best results along with safety of your teeth. However, with so many options available today, in-office to over-the-counter, it is challenging to decide what will suit you the best.
Professional in-office teeth whitening:
An in-office whitening treatment is performed in a controlled set up under the supervision of experts. It uses high concentration of Carbamide Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide. The method works well for someone who is looking for optimum results quickly, since effects are visible in less than an hour. Even though it is considered expensive, the results achieved may make it worthwhile.

Here is what to expect during an in-office whitening treatment:

  1. The dentist starts by polishing the teeth to eliminate plaque on the surface.
  2. The mouth is isolated with gauze to keep the teeth dry during the procedure. Retractors are used for keeping the lips, cheeks, and tongue away from the solution.
  3. Barriers are placed along the gum line to secure it from whitening chemicals.
  4. Teeth are then glazed with whitening solution. The dentist may choose to apply either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as the agent. Several whitening products need a laser or curing light to activate the peroxide. The solution is then left onto the teeth for thirty to sixty minutes.
  5. Once the right shade has been achieved, the dentist rinses the teeth with water. Fluoride application is used to help ease sensitivity.
Take-Home professional teeth whitening
  • Take-home professional teeth whitening kits contain high quantities of either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide and offer results in one to two weeks of prescribed usage.
  • Customized trays keep the whitening solution on the tooth’s surface and only allow slight exposure of the chemical to the gingival area.
  • The total price of take-home professional teeth whitening is a lot lower than in-office.
Teeth Whitening: over-the-counter
Over-the-counter products are popular and readily available in a range of different brands. Here are some of the most popular forms of over the counter whitening products:
  1. Strips or trays
  2. Whitening floss, toothpaste, and mouth rinse
  3. Breath and gum strips
You can attain some degree of whitening through these over-the-counter whitening products. Many of these treatments merely remove stains and do not really whiten the tooth’s dentin, or comprise of lower percentage of hydrogen peroxide that may not whiten the tooth effectively. It is important to take advice from your Bramptonteeth whitening dentist before making use of over-the-counter products.
