To our great regret, our compatriots have never had white teeth. If earlier this fact was not particularly paid attention, now much attention is paid to the whiteness of the teeth. Almost everyone wants to have a Hollywood smile. Therefore, teeth whitening is heavily promoted by the media.
Modern dentistry has achieved great success in this area. If earlier lemon juice, soda or other means were used for whitening, now everything has changed dramatically. In stores, you can find all kinds of toothpastes, gels, and even entire systems that help remove plaque and brighten enamel. Moreover, everyone can use them at home.
Teeth whitening can also be done in dental clinics using special equipment, but it is worth remembering that this procedure is not very cheap. Moreover, not every person can do it.
If a person perfectly monitors the cleanliness of the oral cavity, and the enamel still has a yellowish or gray tint, thenyou can seek help from an experienced dentist who will give specific recommendations. Before performing professional teeth whitening, the patient needs to have a complete cleaning of the oral cavity.
For the procedure carried out in the clinic, both a chemical agent and special lamps or a laser can be used. In the first case, certain chemicals are used that are applied to the tooth. At the same time, oxygen atoms are released and act on the enamel, from which it brightens. Now chemicals are rarely used, as more effective and safer products have become available.
In order to carry out photobleaching or laser cleaning of enamel from plaque, it is necessary to apply a special gel to the tooth and heat it up using the mentioned means. Thanks to the heating, the gel can penetrate deep into the enamel and the tooth can brighten up to 4 tones in one procedure.
Ultrasonic teeth whitening is now often used, which is much cheaper than previous methods. If you do not want to change the above methods, you can use the old method and whiten your teeth with charcoal. To do this, just crush a tablet of activated charcoal, pour it on a toothbrush and brush your teeth.
Professional procedure has its own characteristics. Modern methods do not harm tooth enamel, so you can not be afraid of this process. You need to know that there are contraindications to conduction: sensitivity topreparations or bleaching agents, serious diseases and infections, and not only in the oral cavity. It is undesirable to carry out the procedure for children, pregnant women.
After whitening, the teeth remain very sensitive for about 7-14 days, so you need to eat carefully during this period, avoiding too cold or hot foods.
In order for the smile to be beautiful, and the teeth and gums to be he althy, the procedure must be carried out very carefully, and it is necessary to seriously prepare for it. Teeth need more care after whitening.
