The desire for teeth whitening, like all treatment services demand research and education. Teeth whitening involves bleaching the teeth to make them lighter. It will not make your teeth brilliant white, but it will lighten the existing color by several shades. It is a form of dentistry such that to be safe it should be delivered via dental professionals.
Everyone’s teeth whiten differently. Not everyone will achieve maximum results in the first session. Professional Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment. During teeth whitening, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth to make a mouthguard and tell you how it is used with a bleaching gel. Then with the mouthguard being used at home, you will regularly apply the gel for a specified period over a few weeks.
Another type of teeth whitening which a dentist will provide is using a bleaching product which is painted onto your teeth and then a light or laser is shone on them to activate the whitening. Laser whitening takes about an hour. The risks if you do not use a dental professional is a poorly fitted mouthguard which will not only cause spotted whitening but something worse. Some of the bleaching gel can leak onto your gums and into your mouth causing blistering and sensitivity.
Use a registered dental professional for teeth whitening like our dentists here in Newport's Oyster Point Dentistry because whitening by people who are not qualified bring health risks. Your dentist will advise you whether whitening is right for you. Teeth whitening is not suitable if you have certain dental disease or conditions.
