subject: Types Of Teeth Whitening Treatments [print this page] Dental bleaching is the other name for tooth whitening, it's now a very common dentistry Oxford procedure and becoming more and more popular. Your teeth will be less white than they were as a child due to the mineral structure of your teeth changing. Teeth can become stained by bacterial treatments, drinking dark coloured drinks such as coffee and wine and smoking will make your teeth darker.
An Oxford dentistry has many teeth whitening Oxford techniques, these include bleaching strips, laser bleaching, bleaching gel and natural bleaching. You can either have at-home teeth whitening kits or the teeth whitening oxford treatment carried out at the Oxford dental clinic. At-home teeth whitening kits tend to be done by applying guard trays that contain a bleaching gel; also small strips can go over the teeth. The bleach will contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
Teeth whitening treatments at the Oxford dentistry involve power bleaching which uses light energy to enhance the process of bleaching in the Oxford dental surgery. The effects of this bleaching can lost for month, this is dependent on the patient, for example if after treatment you continue to drink lots of coffee and smoke cigarettes then your teeth will lose their whiteness quicker.
The method of power bleaching uses light energy as an accelerant to the bleach that's applied to the teeth in an Oxford dentistry. Different types of light can be used for the procedure, currently the most common two lights that are used in Oxford Dental clinics are halogen and LED light. Trials have shown that the light that produced the most optimal results is in fact halogen light. This is because it is a high energy light that will excite your peroxide molecules, however without heating the pulp of the tooth.
There are not very often any side effects with a teeth whitening procedure and the ones that are are very short term and minimal. Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of the bleaching treatment, after that your tissue will adapt. If you experience these side effects they will occur directly after the teeth whitening oxford treatment, these side effects are often causes by an ill fitting mouthpiece tray that is used as part of an at-home treatment rather than an in-dentistry treatment.
The most these side effects will last is three days, however in general they will only last one day. Many patients visiting a cosmetic dentistry oxford think the benefits of teeth whitening oxford outweigh the minimal, short term side effects.
