Teeth whitening, also referred
to as teeth bleaching, is a cosmetic dentistry
technique designed to remove stains and lighten
pigmentation within the enamel of the teeth. An
at- home teeth whitening gel is another product
that can be used to produce dazzling results.
At-home teeth bleaching kits take approximately
two to three weeks to accomplish the desired level
of whiteness, and must be used under the supervision
of a cosmetic dentist. Teeth Bleaching Kits
While teeth bleaching
with at-
home teeth whitening trays features the convenience
of nightly use, teeth bleaching kits still use
the professional strength gel that is used for
in-office whitening. These kits can be purchased
from well known dental clinics and offer the additional
benefit of being able to touch-up stained teeth
whenever necessary.
Using Teeth Whitening Gel
To find
out more about teeth bleaching and the at- home
teeth whitening kits that are the most appropriate
for your desired results, contact your dentist.
They will begin the process with a quick check-up
to find out if you have any cavities or excess
plaque buildup. This is a necessary stage as the
teeth whitening gel could cause damage to decaying
teeth.
If cavities are found, they will be repaired before
the teeth whitening process begins. After any
necessary repair and cleaning are completed, custom
trays will be made to fit your mouth. The dentist
will then provide a peroxide-based teeth whitening
gel to use with the trays.
To begin the at-home teeth whitening process,
the mouth trays are filled with the tooth whitening
gel and worn overnight for two to three weeks.
