Have you ever tried dental teeth whitening? This is a procedure in cosmetic dentistry sought after by many patients even though it is quite costly. However, specialists in the field advice that not all interested patients can undergo the procedure. This is because the sensitivity of the gums and teeth would have to be considered above all else. Problems may arise when the bleaching chemical lands on sensitive pearly whites.

Professional help is needed for the appropriate administration of this process. Despite that fact, the market place offers many do-it-yourself kits in different brands and costs. In connection to this, the best teeth whitening kits sold in the stores promise to do more and so they are priced higher than the regular brands. These packages are not safe to use without the supervision of the dentists even though they are dubbed as DIYs. This is because the bleaching chemicals could be very harmful when overused. Moreover, the latter is very possible when the user is not satisfied with the outcome of the whitening process. Chemical overuse can make the enamel of the teeth thinner. With that, biting, chewing or drinking of cold and hot drinks can bring pain.

Perhaps, you have decided to have a dentist do this procedure on your teeth. What then would be your expectations as a patient? Here are some dental teeth whitening specifics that you are about to encounter. As mentioned above, the sensitivity of your pearly whites will be tested. Then, they have to be stripped off of the deposits that can impede the success of this process. Application of a pumice will make this possible. Needless to say, the chemical that would be used here can burn the cheeks, gums and tongue. This goes to show that these parts of the mouth need to be protected accordingly, especially when it comes to getting treatment for gum disease. Barriers will be placed close the gum line and additional retractors may be used on the other parts.

The exact chemical used for the bleaching of the teeth is hydrogen peroxide or a carbamide peroxide solution. This chemical will not serve its purpose unless its main whitening ingredients get activated. How can this happen? This can happen with the use of curing light or laser. The chemical would have to stay on the teeth for an hour to ensure effectiveness. Although the chemical may be reapplied, the reapplication would have to be observed in moderation. Finally, the running water will be used to rinse the bleached teeth thoroughly.

There are certain practices which you must observe after undergoing a dental teeth whitening procedure. Within twenty-four hours, it is advisable to quit drinking and eating products which can discolor your teeth. These are the likes of coffee, red wine, tea and meals which are tomato-based. Do you smoke? If you do, you must quit it the soonest possible time for the sake of your pearly whites. Eat fruits and vegetables which are crunchy for natural dental health care. Biting on them can naturally remove teeth stains.
