A bright white smile is the perfect accessory to improve your self-esteem and dramatically change your smile. We have all heard that when you smile, the whole world smiles with you, so here are some of the teeth whitening options available. Be sure to check with your Utah dental health provider to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough to undergo whitening.
In-office bleaching is the quickest way to achieve the bright white teeth you desire. A dental assistant will polish your teeth to remove plaque or any other creatures living in the crevices of your incisors, canines, and molars. To keep your teeth dry during the procedure, the individual assisting your dentist will isolate your teeth with gauze and retractors. After they apply the bleaching agent, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, a curing light or laser will be used to activate the solution. This procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the level of blinding white you prefer.
While this method is effective, it will take longer to achieve results. The amount of time you should keep the tray on your teeth will depend on the strength of the gel assisting in your venture to escape that Grinch grin. It could take anywhere from three days to about a week to notice any difference in the shade of your teeth.
This is a good option for the Utah college student trying to get a date but can’t afford the pricier option of an in-office bleaching. Whitening strips can be purchased at any drug store and are fairly inexpensive. Like other whitening products, the strength of the bleaching aid will determine the amount of time before you see results. If you are serious about assisting the human race in achieving world peace, maybe you should go with a dental office bleaching.
If you are in any position to require teeth whitening, maybe you haven’t been using toothpaste at all. Now is the time to start. Actually, yesterday might have been the best time to start using toothpaste. Whitening toothpaste products are designed to remove surface stains as well as clean the teeth, so they aren’t really bleaching your teeth. Using whitening toothpaste is still a good idea to start a teeth-whitening regimen and to ensure quality dental health.
