Dentist
Reveals How At-home Teeth Whitening Systems Get Your
Teeth Just As White as His In-office System!
Up until a few years
ago, teeth whitening was a fairly complex process - the
hard part was making those fitted mouthpieces for each
patient - for this reason alone, home teeth whitening
was not an option for most people.
Teeth Whitening Trays with Bleaching Gels still
provide the best combination of the most affordable and
most efficient tooth whitening available. Since I'm a
dentist, I can let you in on a few little secrets here
(secrets that most dentists would shoot me for telling
you since it costs them thousands in lost income!)
First, most of the bleaching gels available at your
dentist are exactly the same. There is very little
difference from one dentist to another, because the gels
are formulated by a small number of manufacturers.
 Second, most of the
bleaching gels available at retail stores are of very
poor quality. They've been sitting in a warehouse or on
a truck for who knows how long - and, because they are
designed to be "low cost" (with low cost being sometimes
the only consideration), they have very low
concentrations of active ingredients.
 Make sure you use a
bleaching gel with a concentration of at least 21% -
this means a whiter result in a shorter period of time!
Third, the one thing in common between dental bleaching
gels and "store" gels is that they both use glycerin as
a carrying agent. Now there is nothing wrong with
glycerin. It is not dangerous in any way.
However,
when mixed with
carbamide peroxide, the glycerin is used to draw
water out of the enamel in order to speed up the
bleaching process.
This is
what causes the most common side effect of bleaching -
sensitive teeth! (By the way, dentist formulated
TheraBrite Teeth Whitening PLUS doesn't use a
glycerin base - that's just one reason why it's so
unique.)
Well,
there are four key components to making sure you get the
best possible tooth whitening every time you whiten your
teeth.
- Immediately before
bleaching, brush your teeth with a
oxygenating whitening toothpaste combined with
the finest natural polishing agents AND aloe vera to
strengthen your gums & prevent any sensitivity.
- Use form-fitting
mouth trays that are fitted to your specific bite.
Make sure they fit snugly around each tooth, and at
all points they press firmly around the sides of
your teeth and gums.
- Use a 21%
concentrated bleaching gel based on
carbamide peroxide that is formulated
specifically to reduce the sensitivity to your teeth
and gums. (In other words - No glycerin)
- Immediately after
bleaching, enhance the effect by using an
oxygenating oral rinse. Make sure not to use a
mouthwash with alcohol as this can actually
chemically curtail the bleaching effect.
The best
home teeth whitening systems use a moldable tray system
that contains mouthpieces which you can actually fit to
your mouth. You mold them by soaking them for a few
seconds in warm water, then you press the plastic up (or
down) against your teeth and gums. When the plastic
cools you have a nice soft plastic mouthpiece that is
fitted to the curves of your particular smile.
To make
sure your teeth are "as clean as a whistle"-- and to
make sure that the bleaching gel directly contacts your
tooth enamel (instead of dental plaque), brush your
teeth for two minutes with an oxygenating, slightly
abrasive toothpaste immediately before bleaching. You
should use as strong of bleaching gel as possible to
ensure that the time your teeth are in contact with the
whitening gel is well spent. The older gels used 16%
carbamide peroxide, but the newer gels can be as
high as 22% peroxide. But, it's imperative that the gel
does not contain any glycerin to reduce any sensitivity
the whitening gel may have on your teeth and gums. A
flavored bleaching gel also helps - why not make the
experience as pleasant as possible? No need for it to
taste bad!
After your at-home teeth whitening session, it is very
wise to rinse thoroughly with an
oxygenating mouthwash to prolong the effect (an
alcohol-based mouthwash will chemically curtail the
bleaching process).
Follow this procedure 5 days in a row, doing the top and
bottom arch separately for comfort (you can try to do
both at once if you prefer - I actually do it this way,
but everyone is different), and you will have a
noticeably whiter smile - GUARANTEED!
