Myth 1 - Teeth Whitening ruins your enamel
is not true in general! Professional teeth whitening product suppliers generally use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the active ingredients in their tooth gels bjelilo.Peroksid dry hydrogen (HO) is a bleaching agent which is converted into water (HO) and releases oxygen molecules (O) in the process of chemical reactions. Water and oxygen are common, safe component of daily life.
oxygen particles penetrate into the rough surface of teeth (although they appear smooth, they are microscopically rough, stick a crystal structure) and banish stain particles. I like to explain to imagining the TV commercials that show how the clothes washing powder with oxygen lifts stains from clothing.
"bleach" hydrogen peroxide is not the same as household bleach containing ammonia or other low-end, acid based tooth whitening products and can be swallowed, within limits. In fact, our own bodies produce hydrogen peroxide, of course!
pickled products can remove enamel from teeth. Look for teeth whitening products using hydrogen peroxide, which is pH balanced, which means that they have no or low levels of acidity. Putting into perspective the acidity, you should be aware that the daily orange juice is shown in laboratory studies to soften (and potentially erode) the tooth enamel so many times more professional than hydrogen peroxide based whitening gel can, if used properly.
Myth 2 - Teeth whitening is safe
is not true! Cosmetic teeth whitening with hydrogen peroxide was used 100 years ago. Most of the recognized dental bodies worldwide endorse teeth whitening as a generally safe practice, when the simple steps are followed. Any supplier of professional teeth whitening products will include adequate instructions for safe use of their products.
Security vs. the risks of tooth whitening is mainly focused on two main issues: Exposure gel gums and soft tissues in the mouth or lips, and tooth sensitivity. Both can be minimized by using professional products and reduces the amount of time whitening gel is exposed to the gums or teeth.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks. Fortunately, with professional teeth whitening experienced any side effects are temporary and not permanent. As with most cosmetic procedures, you may have to endure some discomfort to look better. Sometimes we call it "vain Pain ".
Myth 3 - All the whitening gel is the same
is not true! Of the two major professional gel options, there is carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. Both produce the same active ingredient hydrogen peroxide, but carbamide peroxide acts more slowly on the teeth and is recommended for use only with Accelerator light (I'll talk about that later), or for overnight use. Carbamide peroxide concentration is usually about 1 / 3 of the active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide. As an example, 35% carbamide peroxide is approximately equal to 12% hydrogen peroxide.
, because hydrogen peroxide is unstable chemically reacts immediately, it is more expensive to produce. Many vendors offer only a carbamide peroxide-based products, as a result. Stabilized hydrogen peroxide, and most difficult and expensive to produce, respond immediately in contact with teeth, and best suited for short runs without a tooth whitening accelerator light.
Myth 4 - Teeth Whitening Accelerator light not working
is not true in general! Except in some cases. There are companies that sell only take home teeth whitening kits, and some dentists, who say that lights and other LED accelerator lights are just the trick and do not work.
There have been many studies that show that the use of professional accelerator light actually accelerate oxidation (release of oxygen, and chemical reactions of bleaching) of teeth whitener gel. This is especially true with carbamide peroxide based whitening gel that chemically react much more slowly.
ask yourself, how many dentists and cosmetic dentistry companies offer "office", "chairside", "instant whitening" or "Power Whitening" treatment? Many of them! Now why would they offer this treatment if the accelerator the lights do not work? From my own professional experience, there is no doubt that professional-quality blue LED lights Accelerator enables faster whitening results when using carbamide peroxide gel. In our study, a perception which has worked with thousands of clients and compare the results with the same gel, as compared to the same period of time, with or without the LED lamp Accelerator, we are confident that a noticeable improvement with the light under these conditions.
But not all accelerators lights are the same. Some dentists use old technology, such as plasma lamps, UV and other technologies. These technologies function in the light spectrum, which is known to cause overheating or burning of skin tissue and heating of the tooth surface to release oxygen in the gel, unfortunately, it can also mean UV damage to the mouth, gums and lips. There are also mini hand-held LED lights are often seen in television commercials -. These are just toys, but do not have enough power had the effect of
The second case in which the accelerator light does not work well if the provider uses a mouth tray to hold gel against your teeth, and to paint tray, the "Silicon impression" tray, or tray is filled with foam. These types of mouthguard tray does not allow light frequencies to pass through them and no Accelerated whitening effects as a result.
a modern, professional teeth whitening accelerator lamp, all using LED light in the blue light spectrum at a frequency that excites oxygen release from the chemical, and accelerates the process of whitening teeth. Often known as "Cool LED" or "cold" light accelerator, because they do not heat the tooth and surrounding tissue. As a result, they are perfectly safe, but the technology is FDA Apparoved.
Myth 5 - You must go to the dentist to get professional results whitening
is not true! Today you can buy in Australia, professional strength teeth whitening products you can use at home or as a service with a professional accelerator light and help - not only of the dentist
.
Dentists are solely be used very strong bleaching gels, more than 16% hydrogen peroxide and up to 35% hydrogen peroxide. On the benefits of whitening gel, the real risks are tooth sensitivity and gum trauma. Dentists, therefore, to use special rubber barriers that are related to the right before applying the gel jaka.Stomatolog will usually get a better result of bleaching at the same time as non-dental treatment, but the costs are taken into account, both financially and in increased tooth sensitivity when using more dentists only treatment.
For many years the cosmetic dental whitening market monopoly, because professional teeth whitening technology is too expensive for anyone else. Today, the price and availability of professional tooth whitening products means that you have many more choices and opportunities.
Myth 6 - teeth whitening gel from anywhere except the U.S., Australia or the UK are uncertain
is not true! First of all, in this modern world, you May not even know, but the products appear to be produced by a good American or Australian brands are probably actually manufactured in China. This is true with all types of products and technologies in the world, because of simple economics.
There are many brands of teeth whitening products available in the market. You do not need to be concerned about where they are produced, because it makes no razliku.Aktivnih chemical, hydrogen peroxide is the same worldwide. Because hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant, bacteria can not live in this chemical and it will always be safe (ie, germ and bacteria free) to put hydrogen peroxide based gel in the mouth, regardless of where it came from or how it was manufactured.
If the hydrogen peroxide gel is past its use by date has expired, or chemical, you'll know right away, because the gel turns a milky white color, which indicates that it is already oxidized and will no longer be effective in whitening your teeth, it will not cause no damage.
Myth 7 - Need a custom mouthguard tray to get the best results whitening
is not true! While dentists offer a custom mouth tray, which costs a lot of money, there are many home whitening kits provide cook-n-bite thermoshrinking protector that will work just as dobro.Potpuno custom tray can be a little more comfortable to wear, but they must be, because in general, at-home dental whitening kits require you to have the tray in your mouth for a long time, several weeks of use. There are non-dental products that require only a short time of use, so you do not mind so much if the mouthguard is less pleasant.
Another problem with the guards who have a form attached to the gap between the teeth and the surface of the mouthguard is so small that only the thinnest layer of whitening gel can fit between njih.Problem with this less = less chemical bleaching result, so you have to use a mouthguard and gel more frequently over a long time to get a good result.
Myth 8 - All the teeth are the same whitening results should be as "Hollywood" smile
Unfortunately, some people have unrealistic expectations and be disappointed with the teeth whitening results. This is because professional teeth whitening products do not work as they always do to some extent. This is because they fail to understand that each person is unique in tooth mineral content, which means that teeth whitening will produce a different result for each person. If your teeth are genetically more yellow than someone else, your results will not be as white, regardless of who is a product you use, how many times you try to whiten your teeth, or the gel strength. And some people are deeply stains from antibiotics, tetracycline, etc. that can not be easily removed and may never be completely removed. Also, there are people with genetic or blue gray tinted teeth that hydrogen peroxide bleaching does not work as well as yellow or brown tints.
People see Hollywood stars on TV and movies and believe they can get their teeth bleached to look like movie stars. Unfortunately, this is not possible. Chemical bleaching of teeth has its limits of efficiency and will produce a pure white color (for most people) you can see on movie stars. Does this mean that movie stars are just genetically lucky? No, it means that movie stars are often paid thousands of dollars for the porcelain veneers to correct your teeth and make them pure white. Of course, you have this option too, if you have money, but whitening teeth with hydrogen peroxide as a rule makes a noticeable difference in the whiteness and brightness of natural teeth, at a much lower cost than veneers.
Myth # 9 - If you have caps, crowns, veneers or dentures so that they can whiten your teeth
is not true! While hydrogen peroxide just white teeth, also clean all surfaces, including man-made surface caps, crowns, veneers and dentures. Some dentists say that hydrogen peroxide may weaken the ties of some of these synthetic materials, or attack the metal parts, but you should check with your dentist about your specific case before whitening your teeth, if you're worried.
is always better to whiten your teeth first if you'll be getting any caps, crowns, etc. equipped. This is because a dentist can then measure the color of artificial substances on the far whiter, natural teeth, giving an overall whiter smile.
frequently asked questions and answers about teeth whitening:
Does whitening toothpaste works?
The problem here is that there is a strong enough concentration of any chemical, rather than concentrated on the teeth long enough to make any noticeable difference in the whiteness of your zubi.Jedini true "white" if you can call it that, that created toothpaste teeth is actually abrasive action toothbrush or paste against the tooth enamel. This scratching you wear down tooth enamel, and also removes large pieces of material staining on the tooth surface, but not the tiny particles that make up the stain teeth look more yellow. It's the same thing with the "tooth polish" that merely acts as a fine sandpaper to remove the tooth enamel, and brushing and it will cause increased tooth sensitivity to long-term use enamel thinner.
As with the risk vs reward argument, while significant damage to tooth enamel than tooth brushing over time, on balance it is better than the consequences of not cleaning your teeth.
Do not be fooled by those expensive "whitening toothpastes" - do not make a noticeable difference in the whiteness of your teeth, they are abrasively remove the enamel from your teeth and you're better off spending your money on something that does not work.
Who is suitable for whitening teeth?
is generally recommended to define rules for persons who are suitable for whitening teeth:
- over 16 years of age (due to the potential development of the teeth before that age, parental consent May be required)
- is not pregnant or breastfeeding (that is an extra security measure to protect children, although they generally could not swallow enough of the normal hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening treatment harm your baby)
- There are no known allergies to hydrogen peroxide. If you've ever developed a skin irritation when hair hydrogen peroxide bleaching, May you be allergic. But if you do not know that you are allergic, it will become evident in the first few minutes of teeth whitening treatment, you can just stop the treatment. Any side effects, no matter how uncomfortable will disappear in a few days without permanent damage.
In these conditions, teeth whitening is not recommended for people with Dental braces, people with gum disease, open cavities, leaking fillings, recent oral surgery or other dental conditions. If you are in doubt, we recommend that you visit your dentist before using a professional strength teeth whitening products.
People with gray or blue tint to their natural teeth May also do not benefit as greatly from bleaching teeth with hydrogen peroxide, as well as those with yellow or brown tint.
If you have gingivitis or periodontal disease, or hydrogen peroxide to bleach your gums will be painful and can produce a small amount of bleeding gums. As a result, I do not recommend bleaching your teeth until these issues are controlled by the dentist. What is interesting, however, is that reports have shown that hydrogen peroxide can kill bacteria that cause gingivitis, possibly preventing further damage.
What are the risks with teeth whitening?
whitening treatments are generally safe, however, some of the potential complications of these treatments are as follows:
GUM irritation: whitening gel that comes in contact with the gums during treatment can cause inflammation and / or blanching or whitening of the gums, gums or inside the mouth. This is due to inadvertent exposure of small areas of tissue gel izbjeljivanje.Upala and / or whitening of the gums is transient, which means it does not last, and any color change of the right to reverse within two hours, usually within 10-30 minutes. People with a history of mouth ulcers can develop temporary mouth ulcers, which usually disappear within a few days after treatment.
tooth sensitivity: Although more common with in-Office Dentist Treatment with a very strong bleaching gels, some people may experience some tooth sensitivity to the period after bleaching. People with existing sensitivity, recently cracked teeth, micro-cracks, open cavities, leaking fillings, or other dental conditions that cause the sensitivity of May to find that those conditions increase or prolong tooth sensitivity after the cosmetic teeth whitening treatment.
point or line: Some People May develop white spots or streaks on their teeth due to calcium deposits that occur naturally in the teeth. This is usually reduced within 24 hours.
relapse The cosmetic teeth whitening treatment, it is natural tooth color back a little more time. It is natural and should be very gradual, but can be accelerated by exposing your teeth to various staining agents, such as coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, so you should not eat or drink anything except water during the first 60 minutes after teeth whitening treatment, and avoid tooth staining agents for 24 hours after (eating and drinking white or clear colored food during this time). the results of hydrogen peroxide based teeth whitening treatment is not intended to be permanent, and can last up to 2 years when using a professional strength treatment. The secondary, repeat or touch-up treatments May be required to attain or maintain the color you desire for your teeth.
To achieve the best results, teeth whitening?
Before answering this question, you should be thinking about tooth whitening results in one treatment, as a trade-off against the potential side effects of a tretmana.Najbolji answer is balance! Condition of the potential results of the potential risk of nuspojava.Najveću concentration of hydrogen peroxide to produce the best results in the shortest time, but also have the greatest potential for side effects. My recommendation is the middle of the road -. Not the strongest, not weakest get lucky and found the balance of risks
Before you take the professional teeth whitening treatment, have your teeth cleaned professionally. At least in the smile, the upper and lower front teeth 8-10. Remember, your teeth are opaque, so cleaning the back teeth is very important for overall whitening results you postići.Stomatološki cleaning will remove excess material stuck on the outside of your teeth and allow the hydrogen peroxide to work best on teeth whitening evenly.
Use professional strength teeth whitening gel. Many pharmacies, TV ads and Internet companies promoting teeth whitening products that use 3% or 6% hydrogen peroxide concentration. You simply do not work well on teeth whitening, and any influence they have is a long time to postigla.Usporedne price difference is not great between the low-end products and produced a professional force, but the time and effort is required. I recommend 12% hydrogen peroxide if available in your area, you use a professional whitening accelerator light that can be used 35% carbamide peroxide. Of course the dentist office power bleaching treatments are mainly used for the gel is stronger than 12%, but beware of potential side effects.
Remember, if your teeth are not white as you want after the first treatment, you can always allow some time to monitor the gums and teeth for any side effects, then additional treatment (s). Provided that the product you are using is not too expensive, it is the best and safest way to achieve optimal results of teeth whitening.
How many teeth whitening last?
It depends on who you use to whiten your teeth, and the lifestyle you lead.
If you are a smoker, or regularly drink red wine or use any other color really matter on a regular basis, your whiter teeth will become stained again quicker.
There is no absolute answer to this question, but generally, if you use a professional teeth whitening products for the full treatment as recommended, you May be able to keep your teeth whiter up to 2 years if you are aware of what you eat and drink, and maintain your teeth and oral health properly.
Most people are not saints and lead lives in which they enjoy in red wine or curry, etc. That's fine, but if you want to keep your teeth whiter you should brush them 60 minutes after consuming food or drink. Research suggests that you should not brush immediately after eating, because the acid formed in the mouth when eating makes tooth enamel and softer abrasive brush your teeth during this period can be detrimental.
I also recommend the use of teeth whitening pens. They apply a thin layer of hydrogen peroxide to the teeth, at any time or place, and will bleach any stains near the surface of the teeth (if the concentration is sufficient). Whitening Pens active ingredient is only 30-60 seconds on the teeth because saliva is rinsed, then select whitening pen, which uses hydrogen peroxide (not carbamide) and professional strength gel. Whitening pens are usually not suitable for removing stains deeper.
I have a problem tooth sensitivity, can I still whiten your teeth?
Yes, and you have several options. You can use a desensitizing tooth paste for about 1 month prior to whitening your teeth, and if the decreased sensitivity, you can use any product. But be aware that your sensitivity is likely to increase again during or after treatment, so I suggest choosing a high strength whitening gel, which you can remove it quickly if it gets unbearable discomfort.
The second option is a low power whitening gel. It will work over a long period of time, but sometimes increases sensitivity, because the amount of time it takes for teeth to get a good result.
Probably the best option, in my opinion, teeth whitening pens of at least 12% hydrogen peroxide concentration. Because the gel can paint on some teeth and washed gel because of saliva in less than a minute, it can produce the best results with minimum discomfort.
What should I do immediately after I whiten your teeth?
- Rinse the gel from the teeth and mouth without swallowing.
- Brush your teeth within 60 minutes using a tooth paste containing fluoride to seal teeth
- Do not eat or drink food dyes, or smoke for at least 60 minutes
- If you have tooth sensitivity, use desensitizing toothpaste tooth
- If you have a tingling sensation in the gums, the purchase of pharmacy preparations designed to soothe the gums. This will help to prevent the creation of mouth ulcers (if you are predisposed) and reduce the discomfort and duration of any potential irritation of the gums.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide (Strength) + time on the teeth (time) = Results (efficiency)
When factoring in time, should also take into account the effects of time:
- more effort, which means that it can not complete the full treatment
- More inconvenience
- enough active ingredient to chemically react within this period. In fact, only leaving any whitening gel on your teeth for 24 consecutive hours will not help, because hydrogen peroxide is a normal reaction and spent within 20 minutes.
- Prolonged exposure to the right mouthguard. Friction mouthguard can often cause gum irritation
- Prolonged exposure whitening gel to your gums. Once again, the risk of irritation of the gums.
- Remember, there are limitations on achievable with the natural whiteness of your teeth and this will vary with your teeth genetics, your lifestyle and condition of the teeth during the bleaching.
