Teeth whitening lies at the forefront of cosmetic dentistry because white teeth symbolize health and cleanliness, and play the key role in giving an attractive smile. What follows is an overview of professional teeth whitening and some easy-to-follow tips for keeping your teeth shining white.
Teeth Whitening Tips
- It is hard to predict how much your teeth are going to be whitened with bleaching.
- Apply a paste of lemon juice and salt to rub the yellowish tint of the teeth away. When applied regularly, this method effectively eliminates the dull coloration of the teeth.
- Rub the inner part of an orange peel (the white one) in the teeth that are discoloured to dull appearance. It will give a shiny white look to teeth.
- Use the paste of sodium bicarbonate regularly with water. It cleans the surface stains off the teeth.
- Use oxygenating toothpaste for brushing teeth. It strengthens gums and prevents teeth from going sensitive.
- Before buying a teeth whitening kit having bleaching gel, make sure that the formula contains 21 % concentration and is based in carbamide peroxide.
- After using a teeth-whitening kit, rinse your mouth with an oxygenating oral wash.
Advice on Using Teeth Whitening Kits
- The cosmetic dentist makes a splint for the patient, fitting precisely over his/her teeth.
- The patient places a gel in the splint and wears it for a specified time, usually 2 to 4 weeks. The result is a bright smile with shining white teeth.
- It offers greater comfort and ease.
- It costs less than other treatments.
- Minor touch-up treatments after a year or two will maintain the whiteness.
