Teeth Whitening ProcessTeeth whitening treatments typically use carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredients. These compounds penetrate the enamel and dentin through a process called oxidation, effectively brightening the teeth while being safely absorbed by the body. The result is a noticeably whiter, healthier-looking smile. However, while the whitening process significantly lightens tooth color, it may also cause temporary tooth sensitivity. In some cases, prolonged exposure to the whitening agent can lead to minor changes in the tooth enamel, so it's important to follow the recommended guidelines for treatment. Is It Safe To Whiten Teeth?Teeth whitening is considered to be a very safe procedure regardless of you having it done at home or in a dentist's office. The whitening agents are also very effective in obtaining a deep whitening. However, it is important to keep in mind that the whitening needs to be conducted correctly in order to be fully effective. While whitening, remember to follow recommended amounts of the products if you conduct your whitening in your home. If too much is used, your teeth may develop erosion of the enamel, sensitivity, or irritation of the gums. Teeth whitening conducted in a dental office will involve at least 25% whitening solution consisting of hydrogen peroxide. Due to their increased strength, the solution only needs a short amount of time to be on your teeth. The whitening will be conducted by your dentist. Is It Safe To Use Whitening Toothpastes?Using a toothpaste specifically for whitening is a great option due to their high abrasiveness. But they should only be used for a short period of time. If you use them long-term, you may develop erosion of the enamel. Using a whitening toothpaste may not be as effective as you may think. This is because the abrasive portions of the toothpaste are unable to fully penetrate the tooth. In fact, only the plaque on the tooth will be removed. As opposed to that, using a whitening toothpaste containing Bromelain or Papain should be considered. Using these will help decrease the development of stains a lot more than pastes that have abrasive elements. They are able to prevent the formation of stains and bacteria.
