8 Facts For Teeth Whitening
1. Stick To Whitening Procedure To Be Effective
Everyone experiences whitening results at different speeds. Generally you should begin to see whitening results within about 4 - 7 days. However If you want to have the best whitening effect, It usually takes between 20 - 40 hours of cumulative bleaching time to complete the whitening process.
2. Teeth Whitening Is Bleach With Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide
The concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide determines that how many shades of your teeth can be bleached. Studies have indicated that the whitener has not caused any cancer in gums or mouth tissue.
3. Can Not Produce The Same Whitening Results
Someone with yellow tinted teeth would probably have great whitening results, while someone with gray tinted teeth might be disappointed because gray tinted teeth don't bleach as well.
4. Whitening Toothpastes Remove Stains But Don't Change The Inherent Color
The American Dental Association has never given their endorsement for a teeth whitening toothpaste which does anything more than clean your teeth better.
5. Tooth sensitivity and gum irritation are common side effects of teeth whitening treatments.
6. Tooth colored fillings, crowns, bridges and veneers will not lighten when your teeth are bleached.
7. If you have any cavities, they should be filled before you have your teeth whitened.
8. Teeth whitening procedures are not covered by most dental insurance plans.
