How To Get Whiter Teeth
One need not worry if they are not have been born with the silver spoon or having perfect teeth that gives a bright smile. The white teeth can be achieved by lots of methods such as bleaching and laser treatments that will erase those stains or remove the dis-coloration on the teeth.
Certain stains or discoloration that is caused by drinking tea or smoking can be easily removed by using a bleaching agent. Such stains are called extrinsic stains.
The Intrinsic stains are difficult or cannot be removed at all by any bleaching process. They make the inner layer of the tooth darkened or yellowish. The dental process mostly involves the use of bleaching agents like peroxide. But the bleaching process cannot work on cases like those having Fluor sis that is causes by the overexposure of tooth to the chemical fluoride.
When bleaching solution does not work on removing the stains, then veneers are used to cover the tooth discoloration. Sometimes root canal treatment is used in cases where the stains have raised due to blood vessel or nerve damage. Those having yellow stains can be easily removed by bleaching but those having black stains; it will be difficult to remove.
One can follow the professional teeth whitening process where the teeth are given 5 to 7 shaded of coloring to patch up the stains or bleach the stains. Choose the products that are safe, reliable and approved by ADA or the American Dental Association. Take care that while choosing those bleaching products since some of them may cause teeth sensitivity.
But for better results, always take the treatment from a dentist who will do the bleaching process better and perfectly ensuring that there will be no gel leakage that may lead to damage to the gums or enamel. The bleaching products used by the dentist in the professional in-office method are stronger than those that are available in the market. A single session or sitting will take one hour. A single visit is not sufficient for getting good results; one has to make 3 to 4 visits to the doctor.
Peroxide bleaching solutions that are available in the market can be used at home for the teeth whitening treatment but their concentration is very low and so the results may take time. Ask the dentist when you are planning to continue the process of doing the bleaching at home. The dentist will suggest the peroxide solutions and will give you custom made trays on which the gel has to be applied and then fit to the teeth.
