How is Teeth Whitening Done?
Article Source: HealthSnare.com
Everybody wants to have shiny white teeth but it is a fact of life that the everyday things that we eat or drink lead to a gradual worsening in the appearance of our teeth. Also if you are a smoker the nicotine stains will be even more noticeable over time. We are constantly exposed to images of the rich and famous on the television and in the newspapers with their shiny white teeth, and for this reason more and more people are going to their dentist for teeth whitening treatment.
The first step of the teeth whitening process is that you will have a consultation with your dentist so that they can determine whether you are suitable for the procedure. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or undergoing chemotherapy for example then the Zoom teeth whitening treatment is not suitable for you and the dentist will suggest an alternative such as a home whitening kit.
The current most popular teeth whitening treatment is the Zoom Advanced Power system, a state of the art system in which a gel is applied to the teeth and a special 'Zoom light' is pointed at them. Working in conjunction with each other the light and gel are able to penetrate the enamel and reduce the staining on the teeth leading to an extremely positive teeth whitening effect.
People often ask how long this treatment will last for and the answer is that if you take good care of your teeth they should stay white for many years. Often, the dentist will recommend using a home whitening kit after the Zoom treatment for even better results. With home whitening kits, a custom mould is made of your teeth into which a special whitening gel can be placed.
These moulded trays can be worn while the patient sleeps but also during the day, usually for up to 90 minutes. It is rare for the home whitening treatment to cause any aches or pains although if they do it is normally easily treatable by standard pain killers and will settle down quickly.
