We must explain to you how all seds this mistakens idea off denouncing pleasures and praising pain was born and I will give you a completed accounts off the system and expound.
A healthy smile is a beautiful smile. It would be such a loss to not acknowledge the advancement in dentistry; such as the use of laser in teeth whitening treatment, and the game-changing latest technologies that are paving the way to painless, patient-centered, fearless dental treatments. Durrani’s Dental Clinic stands tall on the intelligent insight of its CEO and Chief Dental Consultant, Dr. Shoaib Durrani, who has always tried to be one step ahead of others to satisfy their patients.
With the increased awareness amongst people, teeth whitening treatments have become extremely famous as everyone wants an entirely white, shiny smile, and those who do not have it, envy it! The stigma of teeth getting weak after such treatments is also a setback hence clearing out the confusion and equipping the mind with basic knowledge is vital to drain out the fears related to dental treatments!
People sometimes make the mistake of preferring comfort to perfection, which is why many try to go for home teeth whitening methods. Laser teeth whitening done by a dentist is far different and better than the one done by you at home, and here is why.
To save time and money, most people buy DIY kits for teeth whitening and start practicing this method at home. From scrolling tips over the internet like using baking soda, banana peels, or oil pulling methods to whiten the smile to buying teeth whitening kits and whitening toothpaste, people tend to go an extra mile to keep their smile healthy. It may be not wrong and might have benefited many, but it does have its cons.
People might not know about the shade of their natural tooth color and end up whitening their teeth wrongly.
People who believe in randomly recommended home remedies may end up making their teeth highly sensitive.
People indulging in-home teeth whitening may not be aware of all the precautionary measures and end up hurting their gums, leading to gingival irritations and gum bleeding.
If something goes wrong, who would be suffering? Have you ever thought about it?
There are two lights used for in-office whitening treatments, the infrared laser, and the blue-plasma (LED) light. Blue-light is the basic old-school method that was widely used globally to whiten the teeth after applying bleaching gels on the surface.
However, the infrared laser has majorly overcome them because the blue light has strong radiations and side effects of dehydrating the teeth, resulting in extreme sensitivity. While the infrared lasers are considered cold lasers, with no harmful radiations of heat keeping the teeth safe from dehydration and sensitivity.
Dr. Shoaib Durrani, CEO and Chief Dental Consultant at Durrani’s Dental Clinic cannot stress enough the fact that lasers have made dental treatments painless and quick. As they say, “a professional knows their work the best.”
During a laser whitening treatment, a laser-activated gel is applied to the surface of the tooth followed by an infra-red laser. To ensure the utmost safety, the patient is guided to wear safety goggles to avoid contact with the infra-red rays.
Enlisted are all the reasons that make laser a better choice than home teeth whitening;
Getting the treatment by a dentist ensures that you get what you want and if anything goes wrong or an emergency arises, the whole dental team is there to take care of it.
The laser rays making the procedure quicker, safer with better results have spurred upon chemical reactions that occur in the tooth during the process of whitening treatment.
The gel is activated using the infrared (cold) laser instead of blue plasma light because it works without generating any heat; therefore, it prevents tooth sensitivity by not dehydrating it.
Laser teeth whitening is an easy, painless, and non-invasive dental procedure.
While removing all the hard stains, laser whitening provides a long-lasting result with proper aftercare.
With the laser, you can even get one or two teeth whitened instead of the whole mouth if needed.
Although laser whitening treatment produces the best results, it does have a few setbacks like it is expensive, may cause tooth sensitivity, stains may come back faster if precautions are not taken.
Laser whitening treatment has to limit variables and should not be done without dental assistance and supervision, because amateurs; while the professionals work.
When we talk about laser teeth whitening, we talk about better results in terms of consistency when compared to home teeth whitening, as the latter is done by untrained individuals the results might be different for everyone. You may have benefitted from home whitening but when you flaunted about it in front of your friend, he may have a different experience, probably a bad one.
While with the former, a certified and well-trained professional will help every single patient reach the desired results they want with the laser whitening treatment in a dental care facility.
Every single day a gazillion advertisements flash on your television screens showing a dentist swearing by toothpaste(s) for its sensitivity protecting, fluoride-increasing, and teeth whitening properties. Many such kinds of toothpaste need a proper prescription and recommendation from your dentist because not everything suits everyone.
Apart from whitening toothpaste, a few other products are also available in the market such as teeth whitening strips, teeth whitening kits, light devices for teeth whitening, and even teeth whitening pens are being made. All of these products come with a detailed user manual stating how to use them at home. Although these products are medically verified, it is advisable to not use them before checking once with your dentist as they do have a few side effects.
Some people tend to fall for bogus home remedies like using baking soda or rubbing citric acid foods for whitening their teeth, they may give a temporary shiny effect but are incredibly harmful to the health of your teeth thus avoid using such things. Instead, start taking food rich in calcium and limit the sugar in your diet because you have to make a wise choice to have white teeth.
Healthy teeth and a bright smile are always in style! Therefore, people follow teeth whitening trends without acknowledging the pros and cons.
By teeth whitening trends, we mean the products that go in high demand, and every other person starts following them. It has been a known fact, the brighter and healthier your smile, the more confident you will be! For your awareness and to help you make better choices, enlisted are a few teeth whitening trends.
FRUITS CAN MAKE TEETH HEALTHY: People have claimed to have got satisfactory teeth whitening results by using strawberries, lemon juice, or zest and banana peels as they contain beneficial elements like malic acid, citric acid, and potassium which aids in cleaning, brightening, and whitening the teeth.
OIL PULLING METHODS: This is a relatively recent trend in the world of teeth whitening. The process is quite simple; swirl a little amount of coconut oil for a minute or two and then spit it out. It is believed that it pulls away from bad breath, dirt particles, and bacteria from your mouth. This trend may play a role in whitening or cleaning the teeth and have no associated risks, yet there have been no potential results with this.
WHITENING TOOTHPASTE: This teeth whitening trend has always been popular amongst people decades by decades. Toothpaste is a part of the daily dental hygiene routine, and whitening toothpaste is useful for removing mild surface stains. For the deeper darker stains due to eating habits or aging, you need to see a dentist or a dental hygienist.
CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS TO YOUR TEETH YELLOWING PROBLEMS: Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are the potential chemicals used in teeth whitening gels both for home-based or in-clinic treatments to break the stains in your teeth and bleach them. Hydrogen peroxide is a stronger one and gives more effective, long-lasting results than the latter.
TEETH WHITENING KITS: These are also available in markets with gels and custom-made trays to perform the method at home.
TEETH WHITENING STRIPS: A notable trend for home-based teeth whitening, 3D strips are available adapting to the shape and contour of your teeth.
BAKING SODA: For ages, people have been brushing their teeth with baking or bicarbonate soda to clean their teeth as a DIY remedy. The soda can scrub the surface and is a chemical hence gives a good cleaning result, but it can harm the teeth when used frequently.
LASER TEETH WHITENING- THE GAME CHANGER: Although light devices are being manufactured to be used at home, the professional ones give excellent and much quicker results while protecting the gums and other soft tissues in and around your mouth.
These all may seem very attractive yet effective, and they are, but it is highly recommended to get the laser teeth whitening treatment professionally and then only use the touch-up gels or methods at home prescribed by your dentist.
As every picture has two sides, these teeth whitening trends have side effects too, for example:
The teeth may become highly sensitive and less resistant to stains when not done professionally and without care.
If aftercare is not taken and stain-causing food is taken frequently like tea, coffee, red wine, etc. the teeth will go back into the bad shape they were once in.
While performing the teeth whitening procedure at home, one can harm the gums and surrounding tissue, causing gingival irritation.
People may not be familiar with the concentrations and amounts in which to use the fruits, gels, etc., and end up overdoing it, causing harm.
While seeking teeth whitening treatments, it is best to go and visit a dentist to get a prior consultation for better results! Because we want you to smile, as it is the best accessory you can wear!
