    3 Ways to Whiten Your Teeth!

    Teeth whitening is one of the most talked-about topics in the field of dentistry. It is almost everyone’s wish to have a healthy, bright smile that reflects self-confidence and a positive image.

    In our present day, there are many ways to whiten your teeth. Dr. Shereen  Adel states that the most adequate method for you to whiten your teeth must be carefully chosen for you to obtain the desired result without causing any damage to the teeth or gums. Dr. Adel continues by saying that tooth sensitivity or gum burns are among the most important dental problems faced by many.

    What are the 3 ways of teeth whitening methods?

    Dr. Adel shares with you the 3 common methods that can be used to whiten your teeth:

    1-Inside the dental clinic or what is known as Zoom.

    This method is only allowed to be performed by a licensed dentist or periodontist. It is applied in the clinic. One of this method’s advantages is that a super white degree is obtained in just one session. This pleases many patients. However, one of its main drawbacks is the severe sensitivity may accompany it for a while after the procedure is done. But the dentist can prevent this sensitivity by applying fluor before using any whitening material in the clinic and also asking the patients to rinse with fluor solution at home for the first week after whitening.

    It is worth noting that the idea of ​​teeth whitening depends on the addition of certain substances in the form of a gel that opens the pores in the tooth enamel layer to extract the pigment in it and these pores remain open. This causes the acquisition of other pigments from food and drinks over time and the patient therefore needs to re-bleach at intervals, which is considered expensive. 

    2- Home bleaching.

    According to Dr. Adel, this teeth whitening method is the best and recommended by dentists. It allows you to control the sensitivity associated with bleaching, as well as the concentration of the active substance and the duration of use. There are many ready-made molds in which the bleaching substance is placed, allowing the patient to wear it during sleep. There also exists easy-to-use plasters that help a lot in avoiding burns and gum infections. Dr. Adel states that dentists always recommend choosing the types with a low concentration and preparing your mold first in the clinic. That way, it is perfectly suitable for your dental impression to get the best result

    3- Tooth whitening pastes.

    Dr. Adel explains that tooth whitening pastes are considered one of the safest methods that help get rid of the deposits on the surface of the teeth resulting from drinks such as tea, coffee or smoking. It is also great to maintain the results we get after bleaching in general. Nowadays, there are many available kinds of toothpaste that help whiten teeth. Dr. Adel is however clear that dentists always recommend using types that are not harmful to the surface of the enamel layer with small particles to prevent scratching the teeth. Therefore, it is always recommended to take a specialist’s advice for them to guide you towards the right type of toothpaste. To get the best results, it is preferable to use a complete set of toothpaste with the appropriate rinse, after consulting the doctor.

    In conclusion

    Dr. Adel states it is necessary to conduct a periodic examination inside the clinic to ensure the safety of your teeth and the health of your gums. Teeth must be well prepared before bleaching and any layers of tartar or plaque must be removed to get the best results.
