Tooth Whitening Treatments For Your Million Dollar Smile

103 16
One of the key factors in forming a lasting first Impression is a smile.
Now, if the smile is stained then the first impression can be potentially wrecked.
If that is what is happening, then it is time to go for some tooth whitening treatments.
One of the common tooth whitening treatments is cosmetic dentistry.
It does not involve painful operations or extensive sittings.
It may take a maximum of three to four weeks though.
A couple of sittings with your doctor will help him or her discern the extent of treatment that you qualify for.
Once the treatment is initiated-which hardly takes an hour- the rest can be continued at home independently.
It really is as simple as that.
However, the Tooth Whitening Treatment works only on natural teeth and not dentures.
As mentioned earlier, you don't have to be on a chemical overdose.
The first step is to ensure that the soft tissues in the gums are unharmed.
For this, a rubber screen is fitted to the gums or more commonly a gel.
Then, the tooth whitening treatment is plugged to the teeth.
This fits in like a small tray customised for the oral cavity.
The hydrogen peroxide or the Carbamide Peroxide starts its work by releasing oxygen into the enamel of the teeth and thus the stains are removed - paving the way for that perfect smile.
Once the dentist does his task, you need to follow it up with the same application at home for two to four weeks and for varying lengths of time, as suggested by your dentist.
There are also others means to the same end.
Treatments like laser whitening or power whitening entail that a bleaching product be painted on the tooth.
A flash of a light or a laser beam on the tooth follows this.
This activates the chemicals in the earlier paste.
This is quicker than the regular bleaching process and it is more expensive.
Multiple home kits are available as self "tooth whitening treatments" however, please be forewarned that bleaching is not cosmetics and hence is best left at the hands of experts.
You don't want to invest in a product that either makes no difference or ends up making you look like Ross of "Friends" fame who showed up for a date with super white teeth, that glowed in the dark.
For Post treatment, if side effects like swollen gums, hypersensitivity to cold, sore throat or white patches persist then consult your dentist immediately.
Lastly, right after you have got the desired results by tooth whitening treatments, don't fall back on heavy intake of tea, coffee or tobacco as, not only is it harmful to your health but it will reduce your million dollar smile to a matter of cents-literally and figuratively.
