About Teeth Whitening News And Information

"Since there really is not a one-size-fits-all toothpaste or toothbrush -- becoming an educated consumer is your best bet. Deciding which services and products you use is a personal decision that should be made in consultation with your dentist and related specialists." source Yahoo news

When it comes to teeth whitening, basically, there are three options: professionally done in-office or at-home teeth whitening or over-the-counter bleaching preparations.

In-office is the priciest, roughly costing $300 to $1,000. At-home teeth whitening kits cost less but will generally take longer and lack a dentiost's examination prior and/or during the applications.

Over the counter, quick brightening applications for easy do-it-yourself whiteners -- whether strips, liquids or gels -- are enormously popular, very inexpensive and not as effective as the teeth whitening kits.

What is the ADA's take on this blizzard of whiting out? For the record: "The ADA recommends that if you choose to use a bleaching product you should only do so after consultation with a dentist."

Every parent knows that a healthy smile is a sign of a happy child, and oral health experts agree that creating those healthy smiles begins in infancy.

Beginning oral health care in infancy, along with the proper use of fluoride, reduces the risk of tooth decay and improves overall health," said Dr. William R. Maas, Director of the CDC’s Division of Oral Health. "There are effective measures that parents can take that are safe, effective and simple, but it’s important that parents understand oral health and begin early."

Here's one tip: Parents of children over the age of six months should ask about the need for a fluoride supplement if drinking water does not have enough fluoride. Also, do not let a child younger than six years old use a fluoride mouth rinse unless the child’s doctor or dentist recommends

It is often recommended that if you are considering bleaching your teeth with at-home teeth whiteners, that you should first have a dental check for cavities, exposed root surfaces or anything that could lead to damage from the bleaching process.

White it is known that serious complications arising from using teeth whitening products are rare there are some instances of reported damage. Say you needed a root filling and then, after a tooth with a hole was inadvertently killed by home peroxide treatment, you find that you can no longer save that tooth.

There are those who have hurt their jaw joints by using the trays overnight which is not recommended in today's teeth whiteing kits. Still, this instance would require slight grinding of teeth to adjust the bite so....

The moral of the story is to use at-home teeth whitening kits sensibly and after you have checked with your dentist. What better way to be sure than use a teeth whitening kit designed by a dentist!
