A lot of people, who went through the procedure of teeth whitening, are now convinced that their life has been radically changed for better. They feel themselves free and natural, as they can smile sincerely.

Food or drinks often causes teeth staining and discolorations that include coffee, tee, dark berries and vegetables, red wine etc. Tobacco is also an important negative factor of teeth staining . Deep changes are also caused by consumption of some drugs and chemical substances, excessive usage of fluorine in childhood, systemic or genetic diseases. Colour of teeth also changes with years. Tooth enamel becomes thinner and loses its transparency.

Mechanism of whitening is based on the activation of hydrogen dioxide by high-intensity of thermal and light agents. Oxygen evolving while decompounding of hydrogen dioxide and carbamide peroxide penetrates into the tooth tissue without damaging and oxidizes organic substances which stain the tooth. Therefore, opinions of ignorant people about the fact that teeth are whitened with the acid gnawing tooth enamel are not completely true and do not meet any contemporary views of the dentistry.

Teeth whitening could be performed in the dental office as well as at home. A dentist applies bleaching gel which is activated by light flux of certain spectrum (there is special equipment for this purpose). Apart from the light whitening there are also laser, thermal and ultrasonic ones. Based on the severity of tooth discoloration and your specific needs the procedure continues for 1–1.5 hours and provides an immediate result. Whitening effect — from 8 to 12 shades.

At-home teeth whitening is conducted with help of so called mouth tray — plastic appliance that has been custom for your mouth by an oral health care professional. Bleaching gel contained in the unit packages (syringes) is put into the mouth tray. The mouth tray together with the gel is being applied onto the teeth and the whitening procedure is being processed.

Whitening effect lasts from one to five years depending on the mouth cavity hygiene and types of food being used. Whitening toothpastes change the colour of tooth for 1–1.5 shades that is why its performance is significantly lower compared to the professional techniques. It is worth to mention that all artificial constructions (fillings, crowns) cannot be whitened. Thus, they need to be changed in order to achieve maximum aesthetic result.

Popularity of teeth whitening is growing fast. Psychologists claim that white teeth allow people of middle age and elderly people to look and consequently feel 10 years younger.

So, if you decided to change your life for better and look more attractive — take advantage of the achievements of contemporary dentistry! Feel confident and be successful!
