Having a beautiful smile involves proper brushing and flossing technique. It also involves seeing the dentist on a regular basis so the teeth and gums stay healthy. Unfortunately, stains can occur on healthy teeth and make the smile look less attractive. Stains can occur because of smoking and certain foods and beverages. There are also medications that can cause staining. If you have stains on your teeth and wish they were whiter, you may want to consider seeking Teeth Whitening services through the dentist.
Teeth Whitening treatments have come a long way since they were first introduced to the dental world. Today’s treatments are much safer and more effective than ever before. This allows your teeth to be whitened without them being damaged. Some treatments now include healthful benefits like calcium, aloe and Fluoride to help the teeth become stronger and healthier.
Whitening treatments involve painting the teeth with a special hydrogen peroxide mixture. This mixture is allowed to penetrate into the deepest layers of the teeth where the stains become trapped. Once the layers have been treated, stains begin to lift away and the teeth become much whiter.
It can take several treatments before the desired shade is reached. At the first consultation appointment, the dentist can normally predict how many treatments will be needed based on the desired shade.
As a part of the whitening process, an at-home protocol will most likely be prescribed. This will help to further whiten the teeth and prevent any new stains while they are being treated.
Once the teeth have reached the desired shade, the results can last one to two years. Positive results can be maintained by avoiding substances that are known to stain the teeth. Proper brushing, flossing and using special dental whitening products can help to keep the teeth beautifully white between treatments.
