Teeth naturally darken with age – as a result of consuming
staining food or drink, tobacco, or in cases where teeth have had root canals
(and the tooth is now dead). Though teeth are not naturally bright white,
rather a light grey/yellow shade, everyone wants a ‘Hollywood’ smile – it is
attainable, but how?
Surface whiteners are usually in form of toothpastes
with the addition of special abrasives to improve the products ability to
remove stain. Cons: The effectiveness of these products is minimal, so if you
have severe staining, you should choose one of the following options.
Vital teeth bleaching (teeth that are living) This
form of teeth whitening can be done two different ways.
- In office vital teeth bleaching: Your dental professional will apply a
hydrogen peroxide/carbomide peroxide product direct on the teeth, usually in
high concentrations. A laser or LED
light will be applied for a
decided interval (to be decided between yourself and your dental professional)
which activates the product. This is usually the fastest way to achieve a
brighter smile – dramatic results will be seen immediately after the treatment.
Cons: Because a high concentration product is used,
your teeth are susceptible to sensitivity and your gingival (gums) can be
burned and become inflamed if not isolated properly. You will also become more
susceptible to stain for at least a day after treatment because the LED or
laser will open the pores in your teeth to produce a desired result, and until
they brighten, you are at a higher risk to stain.
