The next Teeth Withening option is  – TRAYS WITH BLEACHING GELS

One of the most affordable and efficient teeth whitening procedures available is the tray with bleaching gel procedure. I would like to let you in on a few little secrets.

First of all, most of the teeth whitening gels dentists have to offer are essentially identical. You will not find much difference between dentists, because only a small number of manufacturers produce the gels.

Secondly, the quality of whitening gels available today in stores is not very good. They may have lost potency during storage and transportation, and they have a low percentage of active ingredients to begin with because they are designed to be “economical”. Only 16% cabamide peroxide is used as the concentration for older whitening gels.

WHAT SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT STEPS, ONCE YOU HAVE THIS NEW WHITENING KNOWLEDGE?

There are four key parts to ensuring that you consistently get the best teeth whitening
results possible.

1. Brush your teeth just before the whitening process.  Use an oxygenating toothpaste in combination with a very fine natural polishing agent.  You should also use aloe vera to prevent sensitivity and strengthen your gums. By doing this you will ensure that the whitening gel comes in contact with the tooth enamel (as opposed to dental plaque).

2. In order not to waste time, you should use the strongest teeth whitening gel available. Use a teeth whitening gel formula with a 21% concentration of carbamide peroxide, made specifically for reducing tooth and gum sensitivity. The concentration percentage translates to whiter teeth in a short span of time.

3. You can enhance the effect of your teeth whitening, by using an oxygenating oral rinse after treatment. Remember, be sure to avoid mouthwashes containing alcohol because this can chemically interfere with the whitening process and also dry out your mouth.

Lastly, follow this system of teeth whitening for 5 continuous days. You can do the top and bottom separately if you prefer. After it’s finished, you are guaranteed to have a visibly whiter smile.

Dentists are VERY happy about the patient who would like to have a teeth whitening procedure done in their office. In the early 1990′s, only one option was available for teeth whitening.

Your dentist would make impressions of your teeth and ship them to a lab, and within 5-10 days, the lab would send back your custom fitted teeth whitening mouthpiece. Next you would be required to sit in the dentist’s chair for an hour or two with a plastic mold full of mild peroxide solution held to your teeth and gums.

After you had gone to the dentist three or four times, you would be told that your teeth had been whitened, and this would usually be the case.  Then you would get a five hundred to one thousand dollar bill to pay, and you would go home. And, of course, your teeth were whiter.

Over the past 10 years, a lot of improvements have been made in dental office teeth whitening. The most popular dental teeth whitening procedure is Laser Bleaching, also called Argon Bleaching or power bleaching, and it takes less time. During this teeth whitening procedure, you will have concentrated peroxide gel applied to your teeth. Next, you will sit in your dentist’s chair with your mouth hanging open for an hour. During this time, the teeth whitening paste will have an argon light shone upon it. This will cause a chemical reaction with the peroxide, and the teeth whitening process will be completed.

This is an effective method of teeth whitening. Dentists say that you get whiter teeth from more than one tray application, but that’s because the teeth whitening peroxide has longer contact with your teeth. Of course, the negative aspect of that is that it is expensive – $400 to $900.  This is the least you would pay for a proper teeth whitening procedure.  Then, you would still have to return in six months to have your teeth whitened again.  The alternative to the return visit would be to purchase some whitening items to use at home. Why would you spend 400 to 900 dollars for in office teeth whitening then?

Luckily, technological advances have made teeth whitening simpler and easier to afford.
