Teeth Whitening – Post-Treatment Care<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • After a teeth whitening procedure, your teeth will be quite sensitive for several days, so avoid temperature shocks caused by cold drinks, ice-cream etc.<\/li>\n
  • Also, in the seven days following your bleaching, you should not smoke nor consume food with staining\/dyeing effects.<\/li>\n
  • This includes natural food colors like in tomato sauce, soya sauce, mustard, curry, curcuma, chocolate, red\/green sauces, olives, black\/green tea, coffee, soda, red wine, carrots, red beet, squash, spinach, chard, red fruit\/berries, papaya, mangos etc. as well as any food or drink with artificial food coloring. Furthermore, you should avoid industrially processed food.<\/li>\n
  • We recommend the use of toothpaste for sensitive teeth following a bleaching. If you feel you cannot stand the sensitivity of your teeth in spite of following the above-mentioned indications, contact us and we will consider the use of slight analgesics.<\/li>\n
  • Your gums might look slightly bleached after a teeth whitening treatment, do not worry as this is only temporary.<\/li>\n
  • If you take good care of your teeth, the final result of your dental bleaching will last at least 2 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Whitening: 5 Things to Know About Getting a Brighter Smile<\/h2>\n

    Brushing and flossing are everyday ways to keep your teeth bright, white and healthy. Still, if you might feel like your smile is lacking some sparkle or is more yellow than it used to be, you\u2019re not alone. When the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry asked people what they\u2019d most like to improve about their smile, the most common response was whiter teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists also found that nearly 90% of patients requested tooth whitening.<\/p>\n

    Thinking about teeth whitening? Get the facts first. Here are five of the most commonly asked questions about the process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479153140689{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

    Why Did My Teeth Change Color?<\/h2>\n

    Over time, your teeth can go from white to not-so-bright for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n

    Food and Drink<\/strong> Coffee, tea and red wine are some major staining culprits. What do they have in common? Intense color pigments called chromogens that attach to the white, outer part of your tooth (enamel).<\/p>\n

    Tobacco Use<\/strong> Two chemicals found in tobacco create stubborn stains: Tar and nicotine. Tar is naturally dark. Nicotine is colorless until it\u2019s mixed with oxygen. Then, it turns into a yellowish, surface-staining substance.<\/p>\n

    Age<\/strong> Below the hard, white outer shell of your teeth (enamel) is a softer area called dentin. Over time, the outer enamel layer gets thinner with brushing and more of the yellowish dentin shows through.<\/p>\n

    Trauma<\/strong> If you\u2019ve been hit in the mouth, your tooth may change color because it reacts to an injury by laying down more dentin, which is a darker layer under the enamel.<\/p>\n

    Medications<\/strong> Tooth darkening can be a side effect of certain antihistamines, antipsychotics and high blood pressure medications. Young children who are exposed to antibiotics like tetracycline and doxycycline when their teeth are forming (either in the womb or as a baby) may have discoloration of their adult teeth later in life. Chemotherapy and head and neck radiation can also darken teeth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3193″ img_size=”1200×435″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1479157578685{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479153213659{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

    How Does Teeth Whitening Work?<\/h2>\n

    Teeth whitening is a simple process. Whitening products contain one of two tooth bleaches (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide). These bleaches break stains into smaller pieces, which makes the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479153256105{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

    Does Whitening Work on All Teeth?<\/h2>\n

    No, which is why it\u2019s important to talk to your dentist before deciding to whiten your teeth, as whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellow teeth will probably bleach well, brown teeth may not respond as well and teeth with gray tones may not bleach at all. Whitening will not work on caps, veneers, crowns or fillings. It also won\u2019t be effective if your tooth discoloration is caused by medications or a tooth injury.<\/p>\n

    No, es por eso que es importante hablar con tu dentista antes de que decida realizar un blanqueamiento, as\u00ed mismo los blanqueadores pueden no corregir todo tipo de decoloraci\u00f3nPor ejemplo, los dientes amarillos pueden tener un buen blanqueamiento, los dientes cafes no lograr\u00edan un blanqueamiento y los dientes con tonos grises no pueden blanquear en absoluto. Blanqueamiento no funciona en carillas, coronas, resinas y selladores. Asimismo, no ser\u00e1 eficaz si su decoloraci\u00f3n dental es causada por medicamentos o una lesi\u00f3n dental.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3195″ img_size=”640×360″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1479157609690{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479153463364{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

    What Are My Whitening Options?<\/h2>\n

    Talk to your dentist before starting. If you are a candidate, there are three ways to put the shine back in your smile:<\/p>\n

    Whitening Toothpastes:<\/strong> All toothpastes help remove surface stain through the action of mild abrasives that scrub the teeth. Look for the ADA Seal for safe whitening toothpastes that have special chemical or polishing agents to provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Unlike bleaches, these types of ADA Accepted products do not change the color of teeth because they can only remove stains on the surface.<\/p>\n

    In-Office Bleaching:<\/strong> This procedure is called chairside bleaching and usually requires only one office visit. The dentist will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect your gums. Bleach is then applied to the teeth. A special light or laser might be used to enhance the action of the whitening agent. Today this is one of the most common procedures requested for the patiens because of the excellent outcome about esthetics non invasive dental procedures.<\/p>\n

    At-Home Bleaching:<\/strong> Peroxide-containing whiteners actually bleach the tooth enamel. They typically come in a gel and are placed in a tray that fits on your teeth. You may also use a whitening strip that sticks to your teeth. The concentration of the bleaching agent is lower than what your dentist would use in the office.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479153527242{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

    Are There Any Side Effects from Teeth Whitening?<\/h2>\n

    Some people who use teeth whiteners may experience tooth sensitivity. That happens when the peroxide in the whitener gets through the enamel to the soft layer of dentin and irritates the nerve of your tooth. In most cases the sensitivity is temporary. You can delay treatment, then try again.
    \nOveruse of whiteners can also damage the tooth enamel or gums, so be sure to follow directions and talk to your dentist.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4l9jGjp60t8″ css=”.vc_custom_1479157810970{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row background_color=”#3db3e5″][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
