Teeth Whitening ¿the most common questions?
People want whiter teeth. Patients have come to demand whiter, more perfect smiles and because of that, many choices for tooth whitening have become available. In-office based systems where products containing highly concentrated bleaching agents (like hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide) are applied under professional supervision are the saftest options, but with today’s technology home-based products such as toothpastes, gels, and films have also become a good option. It’s important to emphasize that the indications for appropriate use of tooth-whitening methods and products are dependent on correct diagnosis of the discoloration.
Tooth whitening in Tijuana has become one of the most frequently requested dental procedures by the public, and it is up to us dental professionals to offer the techniques and expertise so our patients can achieve this goal safely and with the least amount of pain and damage done to their teeth
How does it actually work?
Tooth-whitening methods include the use of peroxide bleaching agents to remove internal discolorations or abrasive products to remove external stains. Peroxide bleaching procedures are completed by the dentist in single or multiple appointments, or by the patient over a period of weeks to months using custom trays loaded with a bleaching agent. Both methods are safe and effective when supervised by a dentist. Some in-office systems are also aided by light, like the Tijuana Zoom Whitening in-Office System. The Zoom In-office tooth whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp, which accelerates the bleaching process, to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains only through the polishing effect of the abrasives they contain, and don’t actually change the color of the tooth.
Will it permanently damage my teeth?
No. All bleaching procedures lead to a decrease in surface microhardness, however, after 7 days of remineralization, the surface microhardness returns to normal levels for all bleached teeth. Tooth whitening is a form of dental procedure, and it should be treated as such. When used appropriately and supervised by a dentist, tooth-whitening procedures are safe and effective.Tijuana
Lastly, but not less important… will it hurt?
No, but it’ll certainly be uncomfortable. There is no sugarcoating it, getting a tooth whitening procedure will leave your teeth in a sensible state. However, it will go away, and the results will certainly be worth it. To aid with the discomfort your dentist may prescribe some over the counter medication like ibuprofen or paracetamol, and/or a desensitizing toothpaste or gel.
