AT HOME TEETH WHITENING------what all you should know

we are many a times tempted by the online products available for teeth whitening................some tooth so let me enlighten you a little on tooth whitening and especially on "at home teeth bleaching"
pastes, teeth whitening gels etc etc.......well , all these so easily available dental tooth whitening products do come with easy to use instruction manual...wherein we are more tempted to use them without any dentist's expert supervision........

few tips on the teeth whitening safety while using at home teeth bleaching products


1.See Your Dentist
Get a professional cleaning and mouth exam, even if you decide to whiten teeth at home. It  could be that all you need is a thorough cleaning to restore your teeth's sparkling good looks.

The exam also finds cavities. Getting your cavities treated first is crucial to keep teeth whitening safe.
Your dentist will check the health of your gums. If they are infected and red(inflammed ), it’s wise to postpone the whitening.
Ask your dentist for advice about which over-the-counter system to use. Ask the dentist how much lightening you might expect. Teeth do darken with age, and the range of color varies from person to person.

2.  BE realistic about your expections from the whitening product
Most of the at home bleaching products have lower concertrations of bleaching agents and require longer durations(that is the number of days you need to apply)

secondly as the procedure is not carried under the professional guidance the results are generally inferior to those that one can expect fron in office dental bleaching

3. Shop Wisely for Teeth Whitening Products

 A VERY IMPORTANT parameter while selecting the dental bleaching kit is the BLEACHING  agent it contains ..for example hydrogen peroxide.....many of thwe on the counter available kits had hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide levels much much higher than the recommended safe levels leaving the teeth in whiter but much more sensitive and painful condition
At-home teeth whitening products contain peroxides, typically carbamide peroxide, in various concentrations -- often 10% to 20% or so.

4. Be on the Lookout for Sensitive Teeth

Mild and temporary tooth sensitivity can occur with many teeth whitening products. If inflammation or sensitivity are bothersome, discontinue the treatment and speak with your dentist.

If the trays don't fit well, they can irritate the gums. If you notice that effect, it's also wise to stop the teeth whitening product.
If your teeth and gums are in good shape, sensitivity might be less of an issue.

5.Get well fitted bleaching trays
your gums may experience sever burns from the bleaching agent if you if the bleaching trays are not well fitted.

so just keep these points in mind before you decide to try at home dental bleaching
