One of the most popular methods asked for by plentiful people to improve their smile is dental teeth whitening. There are numerous dental tooth bleaching procedures to help people fulfill their cosmetic desire. The following reveal the types of dental teeth bleaching:In office tooth bleachingThis is the most sought after and also the most effective method of whitening and is carried out by the dentist in the dental office thus its name. Current methods such as ‘zoom bleaching ‘and ‘britesmile’ are used to bleach teeth. The teeth are cleaned first and a defensive gel is applied around the mouth to protect the soft tissues. Next, a special gel containing peroxide is applied over the teeth and a light is used to activate the gel. The gel penetrates the enamel and releases certain compounds, turning your tooth white and bleaching it in the process. This is called laser tooth whitening. Side effects including sensitivity may occur but only for a few days, after which it subsides.Tooth whitening traysDental bleaching can also be done with the help of trays. The whitening gel is kept in place over the surface of the teeth with a tray worn over the teeth. Different types of trays are available; one size-fits-all tray or special trays specially made for each patient. The custom trays are obviously more effective as they provide the correct fit and keep the gel in contact with the tooth to be bleached. In this procedure the gel usually used is 10-15% carbamide peroxide. The tray is suggested to be worn for a particular amount of time accordingly.Tooth bleaching stripsOut of the other effective teeth bleaching procedures available, tooth bleaching strips may be the most economical. Most of these strips are available commercially, over the counter. The effectiveness of the result achieved depends on the brand used. These strips contain peroxide of a low concentration 6-15%, and should be worn for nearly an hour once or twice a day for a particular number of days. It is said to achieve a shade three times lighter than that of the tooth originally present. The strips are generally agreeable when worn and may produce only mild aggravation while speech.Tooth bleaching pastesTooth bleaching tooth pastes seem to be one of the easiest dental tooth whitening types and are available over the counter. They are used just like normal toothpastes and may cost a little higher than the regular toothpaste. However they are not very effective and do not cause any obvious whitening effect on the teeth; though they function as well as any other toothpaste. The disadvantage may lie in the case of over-eager individuals who may brush vigorously and many times a day hoping to achieve a great result, which may do more harm than good to their tooth.Tooth bleaching chewing gumsMost commonly exhibited are tooth bleaching chewing gums which contain bicarb soda, also used in the tooth bleaching toothpastes. May be considered the best teeth whitening products available since they are easy to use. They don’t contain any bleaching agent as that used in normal bleaching systems which are more effective. The gum should be masticated for around 20mins each, four times a day. Any difference in shade would take up to four weeks to be obvious.
