Beauty
By Romolo Pusceddu
here is nothing more terrible than not having the confidence to be
yourself. You want to laugh, but you feel shy or uncomfortable to
do so, simply because you feel your teeth are not bright enough.
Not anymore. With tooth whitening, you get back your lost
confidence.
Over time, the natural white colour of the teeth becomes darker,
particularly due to the consumption of coffee, wine, chocolate and
smoking. A good reason why you might consider tooth whitening.
Tooth whitening
Gives You That
Tooth whitening, a method, used in the dental industry to whiten your
teeth, is practised globally. According to several studies, cosmetic tooth
whitening is a global industry with a market value of more than $3
billion. And still, the market is growing fast because many people love
to have a brighter smile. Don’t you too? What makes tooth whitening
very popular, is that it comes in different forms and methods. More than
that, it is easily available in shops, pharmacy or dental clinics, thus giving
consumers enormous choices and possibilities. Due to the availability and
varieties, it is very important for consumers to have more knowledge of
the product
to enable
them to
make the
right choice
and avoid
any major health problems the product
may come with.
Confident Smile
Tooth whitening contains hydrogen peroxide with varieties of strength.
Most Tooth whitening purchased in a drugstore and dental practices has
strength ranging from 0.1 to 15 per cent, while the same product from
specialised dental office has 15 to almost 40 per cent strength.
Professional
teeth whitening
does not damage
the enamel,
hence a good
reason why it is
advisable to go
for rofessional
tooth whitening
instead ..
In Western Europe, only a dental practitioner is allowed to use products
containing or releasing between 0.1%-6% hydrogen peroxide. In other
countries such as New Zealand, non-dentists may apply up to 10%
hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth.
After the whitening process patient may experience some teeth sensitivity,
which is very normal due to the chemicals available in the tooth
whitening. It is, therefore, not something to panic about, if sensitivity
occurs after the treatment. After the application of the whitening gel
pores in the teeth are opened and stains lifted. Furthermore, tooth
whitening hardly damages dental work. Professional teeth whitening does
not damage the enamel, hence a good reason why it is advisable to go for
a professional tooth whitening instead of otherwise.
Whitening systems are considered medically safe, however, treatments are
not suitable for everybody. It is medically advised that pregnant women,
children with milk teeth and patients with gum disease, should avoid
tooth whitening.
Give yourself that confident smile and go for tooth whitening. Yes, a
healthy smile indeed.
