What’s in store for teeth whitening?

/in , , /by

In this blog, we discuss the current technologies of teeth whitening and what’s in store for teeth whitening in the future.

Dental stains can be widely categorised as intrinsic or extrinsic.

Intrinsic stains group together the result of defects in the development of the tooth, fluorosis, or it can be acquired through the use of tetracycline.

Extrinsic stains are more or less localised int eh pellicle and are a result of the reaction between the amino acids and sugars, or obtained from the retention of exogenous chromophores in the pellicle.

At this present time, there are three clinical methods that have been adopted for measuring stain removal and tooth whitening in the development of new whitening technologies: Loben Stain Index, Shade Guide Colour Change, and Minolta ChromaMeter. Most professional teeth whitening products rely on proved technologies which may involve 35% hydrogen peroxide for in-office power bleaching, or 10-15% carbamide peroxide for at-home bleaching in order to reduce intrinsic stain and chance the inherent tooth colour.

Regular teeth whitening kits will use a combination fo surfactants, antialculus agents, abrasives, as well as low levels of hydrogen peroxide so to lessen extrinsic stains and maintain the tooth’s white colour following any professional treatment.

With teeth whitening growing and growing in popularity, future technologies that are involved in teeth whitening could involve the use of activating agents to boost the performance of hydrogen peroxide along with natural enzymes.

Think Bizzle know all about teeth whitening and achieving the perfect pearly whites that don’t look artificial.

Beginning with yellow teeth and how they become stained, looking at the most common causes for yellowed teeth is from drinking beverages that can stain your teeth, such as wine, coffee, and some fizzy drinks. The substances work their way into the enamel of your teeth and can cause near-permanent staining.

However, we can provide the solution to whiten yellow teeth. You could set up a whitening program which will follow the use of a whitening toothpaste combined with thorough cleaning and removing any every-day surface stains; some whitening toothpastes can actually prevent future stain build up also!

Alternatively, you can purchase from our range of home teeth whitening kits which work in the same way as a tooth whitening toothpaste, often faster!
