Teeth whitening: the trendy aesthetic treatment Everything you need to know before having it Teeth whitening has become one of the most requested aesthetic treatments in recent years.<\/p>\n\n
The search for a perfect smile and whiter teeth has led many people to consider this procedure.<\/p>\n\n
But is it really for you?<\/p>\n\n
We’ll tell you everything you need to know about it.<\/p>\n\n
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that seeks to remove stains and improve the shade of teeth, making them look whiter and brighter.<\/p>\n\n
This procedure is performed by applying whitening agents, mainly carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, which act on the tooth enamel to reduce stains.<\/p>\n\n
Benefits of teeth whitening Opting for teeth whitening brings some aesthetic and emotional benefits, including: Improvement of personal image.<\/p>\n\n
Whiter teeth can rejuvenate your overall appearance.<\/p>\n\n
Increased self-esteem.<\/p>\n\n
Wearing a radiant smile can make you feel more confident in your social interactions.<\/p>\n\n
Smile rejuvenation.<\/p>\n\n
Removing dental stains can give your smile a fresher, more youthful appearance.<\/p>\n\n
Contraindications to tooth whitening Although tooth whitening is safe for many people, there are certain conditions that may limit its application: Presence of untreated cavities.<\/p>\n\n
It is essential to treat any dental problems before considering whitening.<\/p>\n\n
Gum diseases.<\/p>\n\n
Patients with gingivitis or periodontitis should refrain from undergoing this treatment until their condition improves.<\/p>\n\n
Tooth sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n
Those with particularly sensitive teeth should proceed with caution and always under the supervision of a professional.<\/p>\n\n
Pregnant and breastfeeding women.<\/p>\n\n
There are no studies on this.<\/p>\n\n
Whitening in the clinic vs. whitening at home There are two main types of tooth whitening: that performed in the clinic or the \u201coutpatient\u201d, that is, at home.<\/p>\n\n
It is essential that both are well supervised by a dentist, as this is the only way to guarantee the safety and health of the patient.<\/p>\n\n
This method allows the patient to perform whitening from the comfort of their home, following the instructions and precautionary measures provided by their dentist.<\/p>\n\n
Custom transparent splints are used, created from a mold of the patient’s mouth, to which the whitening gel is applied using syringes.<\/p>\n\n
This gel usually contains carbamide peroxide in concentrations ranging from 10% to 22%.<\/p>\n\n
The dentist will indicate how many hours a day the splints should be worn and the total duration of the treatment, which generally does not exceed four weeks.<\/p>\n\n
It is important to keep in mind that, under no circumstances, should this type of treatment be undertaken without the supervision of a professional.<\/p>\n\n
Whitening in clinic.<\/p>\n\n
This procedure is performed directly in the dentist’s office, who takes measures to protect the gums before applying the whitening gel, commonly hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 35% to 40%.<\/p>\n\n
Gel activation is achieved by applying heat or light, and in some cases, laser technology is used.<\/p>\n\n
The treatment usually consists of about four sessions, each approximately 15 to 20 minutes long, although the duration may vary depending on the specific product used.<\/p>\n\n
In conclusion, teeth whitening can be an excellent option to improve your smile and confidence.<\/p>\n\n
However, it is crucial to be well informed and be in the hands of professionals to guarantee the best results and minimize risks.<\/p>\n\n
