Are you thinking about having your Teeth Whitened?

Looking and feeling good goes hand-in-hand in this day and age, most of us want to have a healthy long life. In recent years the health and beauty markets have exploded with a myriad of products designed to make us look and feel better. Having a good smile can speak volumes and consumers have been whipped into a frenzy, all in an effort to have their teeth whitened, however there are lots of options which may impact selecting the right product to suit your needs.

If you would like to have your teeth whitened you may want to consider whether you have the treatment performed by a professional, which often includes a dentist visit, then being given a teeth whitening kit for you to take home to finish the course of the treatment usually over a 20 day period. You may consider using a home whitening kit which will also contain gels, trays and an LED light in some cases.

Although most home whitening kits will contain generic items, it is important to select the correct gel, for the correct level of staining. It is also important to consider your previous dental history; do you suffer with receding gum lines? Do you have extreme sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks? Are your teeth generally healthy or do you suffer with cavities and deep decay? If you do suffer with any of these complaints having your teeth whitened is probably not an option for you.

Teeth can become stained due to a variety of factors such as food and drinking like coffee tea, red wine, and beetroot. Teeth can also become stained by nicotine found in cigarettes, as well as tar build up which causes the unpleasant browning and rough texture of the tooth surface which smokers often experience.  Age can also be a factor, as we get older age is not only expressed in skin tone and elasticity, but also in the shade of our teeth, with age the enamel starts to become thinner and the dentine within the teeth starts become more visible, as dentine is yellow in colour, this can give the appearance of yellow teeth. Your teeth may also appear yellow due to intrinsic staining which can be caused by the antibiotics tetracycline

So, Are you thinking about having your Teeth Whitened? what is the best whitening gel to suit your needs? If you have deep internal (intrinsic) staining stronger gel does not equate to better results, on the contrary, if you have deep staining a gradual and steady approach to whitening is best. Overnight whitening is better suited for the aforementioned type of stains, also this allows for a deeper effect, as the gel gets to work overnight the peroxide is able to better penetrate the surface of the tooth. It is recommend for that overnight treatments consist of a Carbamide peroxide gel containing either 10%-16% Peroxide, this type of treatment is also suitable for those with red wine stains. It should be noted that laboratory made custom trays are used for such treatments.

If you suffer with sensitivity and have moderate staining you can opt for a 22% Carbamide Peroxide  gel, this will remove most stains and the temporary sensitivity which may be experienced by some consumers is greatly reduced when using a 22% gel. To get ultimate results when having your teeth whitened a 36%Carbamide Peroxide  gel can give the results you are looking for; this gel will remove not only surface stains but also the yellow stains and build up of tartar which can become yellow. 36%Carbamide Peroxide  gel is one of our best sellers for the very reason that it works and you will get unrivalled whiteness.

Whichever option you choose to have, we suggest doing your research, ensuring that you stay safe, protect those gums and soft tissue or find a reputable professional to complete your in office treatment.

Until next time Always Think Bizzle & Smile

What are the best teeth whitening Kits on the market today? Modern teeth whitening has been in existence for decades, however, over the last five years we have seen demand for the best teeth whitening kits explode in recent times. There are hundreds of thousand daily internet searches for those who seek a gleaming smile and the whitest of teeth. With dozens of products on the market, where is the uninitiated consumer going to turn to seek the best advice, and the most appropriate item to suit their whitening needs?

Let’s take a look at some of the options available, previously many consumers would pay hundreds to have in house treatments either at dental surgery or at a clinic. Whilst these types of treatments have been popular in the past, there has been more demand in recent years for home treatments which can be performed in the comfort of your own home.

Some may opt for whitening tooth pastes which can have s subtle effect to the overall appearance of the tooth; however tooth pastes do not contain enough active ingredients to make a significant impact, especially to deeply stained or yellow teeth. This can be a low cost treatment, but we would not consider tooth pastes to be the best teeth whitening Kits.Teeth whitening strips

Teeth whitening strips

Teeth whitening strips exploded onto the market after crest first introduced their teeth whitening strips in 2001. These strips have become very popular due to their ease of use, and the fact that they contain Carbamide Peroxide which gives good overall results. While there is still a considerable demand for these strips, they can sometimes be difficult to use.

The original strips were revolutionary, however it was often found that the strips would slip off the tooth and gather around the lower gum line like an old loose pair of socks. Another problematic issue related to the length of the strips, the original strips were just too short, which meant that those with a wide smile, had less of a white smile. In 2010 things were set to change, and crest introduced their 3D advanced range which are longer in length and have a very adhesive layer called advanced seal, which means that the strips stay in place.

Teeth whitening kits with LED

Many consumers over recent years have opted for home whitening kits, these can come in lots of variations, some come complete with trays, some come with cheek retractors, mini LED lights and gels that can be applied directly to the tooth. Due to the various options available home kits and gels are often considered the best teeth whitening kits if used correctly and ensuring the soft tissue and gums are protected.

Typically, home teeth whitening gels contain Carbamide peroxide which can range anywhere from 10% concentration levels to 35% concentration levels for home use. Depending on a few factors such as level of staining, teeth whitening experience sensitivity. Low levels of Carbamide gels can be worn over night in some cases; this is usually for deep staining or yellowing of the teeth caused by smoking or tetracycline.

Other kits may also comprise of Hydrogen Peroxide gels, this gel is the favorite amongst professionals as the wear time is greatly reduced, as whitening only occurs once the gel has broken down into Hydrogen Peroxide, this gel is an obvious choice for those seeking faster results.
