Seven ways to whiten teeth
05-09-2009
From time immemorial the teeth are judged on the success and appeal rights. Healthy teeth are a woman – will be a healthy wife and healthy children. Strong teeth men – if anything, to dig and eat delicious root or zagryzet predator. Snow-white girl’s smile – it means, the air being anything rougher than flower nectar, do not consume.
However, white and healthy teeth are not always considered a sign of beauty. Vietnamese and Japanese women had once painted his teeth black. Dye to the same terrible smell, which gave additional flavor local beauties.
In Pakistan, some ethnic nadpilivali front teeth, and then chewed some leaves: after this procedure sawed surface acquires a bright red color.
Among the exotic customs – drilled holes in the canines and insert them into stones, flowers, rings and mirrors (that’s where «grow legs» Contemporary skaylinga!). Saws on the front teeth grooves – the better to twist the rope from plant fibers, holding one end in his teeth. Sharpen your teeth with the help file – the hunter needed fangs, like a predator (Incidentally, in Ethiopia, to prove his «fitness» young man had a meal is not too thin tree). And crown dental «design» – remove all of the teeth and sacrificed to the gods.
Understand these symbols of dental transformation difficult. One thing is clear: in every culture and at all times without the «correct» the form of teeth – anywhere. Take the modern man: if you want to look successful today – demonstrate 32 perfect teeth. And if the nature of perfection stingy, then perhaps to the dentist: fix malocclusion, braces, prosthetics, or at least bleach.
Types of bleaching
Technology whitening today quite a lot. First you need to remember that technology is divided into domestic and professional.
Home
Method 1
In the arsenal of home remedies include chewing gum, toothpaste (the basis of their actions – Abrasive principle, ie the spot removed from the surface of various solid particles), rinses, gels and special systems. I must say that most dentists are skeptical about the properties of whitening toothpastes and zhvachek: maximum, what they can do – fight svezhepostupivshimi on the surface of enamel pigments coffee, tea, red wine, etc.
Method 2
More effectively gels and special collections: they usually use a course from 3 days to a month. Here is the principle of operation – chemical, based on the ability of various compounds react with pigments and plaque, and destroy them, the concentration of active ingredient – 10-15%.
Preparations applied to the standard cast of the teeth – a mouthguard which is worn at night or for several hours during the day. Some dental clinics can order individual mouthguard fitted to the teeth and do not let the irritating agent to the gums. However, because of low concentration in the home sets the active substance the results are modest and not very durable.
Professional
Such bleaching is carried out in the clinic for special equipment. And when choosing a particular method is to consult with several dentists, to avoid the «vparivanie» leading to the clinic method, which you can not come.
Contra-indications for tooth whitening:
* Cavities;
* Gum;
* Pregnancy and breast-feeding;
* Allergic to peroxide compounds;
and (except fotootbelivaniya):
* Exposed roots;
* Cracks enamel;
* Seals requiring replacement;
* Increased sensitivity of teeth.
In addition, bleaching is best done before the prosthesis, then to pick the exact color of crowns and fillings on the outer side of the teeth.
Method 3
Those who have white teeth by nature, is often enough to give them back the natural color. For this suit based on a mechanical (abrasive) principle bleaching, for example, the system Air-Flow. Using a special nozzle teeth cleaned supplied under pressure with a mixture of cleaning powder with water and compressed air. Bacteria, plaque, interdental deposits, «reservoir» pigment from tea and coffee, cigarettes disappear, revealing the natural whiteness of your own teeth.
Method 4
Gentle effect on the enamel has a bleaching ultrasound. In addition to these shortcomings, it also removes tartar. The final stage of bleaching – teeth treated polishing paste, which will be a long «reject» coloring pigments.
There is a technology that combines the impact of water and ultrasound: ultrasonic scaler. With dual action it can handle even the most dense and perennial deposits on the teeth.
Method 5
The most common and usual method of professional teeth whitening can be called a chemical bleach. Active ingredients used are the same as at home bleaching (carbamide peroxide, urea peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, chloride), but their concentration is higher and, hence, the result will be faster – for 1-2 half-hour session. The chemical method can whiten teeth deep enough and strong. There are options for its use, in which the effect on teeth is limited to dental offices, sometimes wearing the familiar, we expected mouthguards and home.
The effect of the chemical bleaching lasts from 2 to 5 years, then the procedure can be repeated.
An important condition for the chemical bleaching of teeth is the absence of visible surfaces of fillings, composite materials, veneers, dentures, pins, etc. Foreign material is entirely different than the natural tissue, react with the active chemical elements, and homogeneous bleaching will be difficult to achieve. The use of the invented technology of laser whitening.
Method 6
Laser whitening – less benign, but a more effective way for you to influence, first, more deeply at the fabric of the tooth, and secondly, the point. That is, the doctor works just like an artist, by adjusting the degree of impact on every part of the tooth.
The laser activates a special chemical composition, damage to the enamel, and cleaning is literally at the molecular level. This is the fastest way: for the hour session can whiten your teeth by 8-10 shades! But the most expensive compared to the other, besides the oral cavity must be fully prepared: all seals in place, dental caries and periodontitis treated, no cracks and abrasions to the gums.
Method 7
When fotootbelivanii as a catalyst supports halogen light. At the tooth again, smeared with a special composition of which is under the influence of light, oxygen, ferocity with dark spots. Feature of this method is that it is suitable for sensitive teeth, for teeth with cracks and chips, leaky seals, and even bare roots – a «fire» way to put off a visit to the dentist. Negatives – bleach turns too dazzling (the effect of «porcelain» teeth), and that not everyone goes. But with proper care the color can be preserved for a lifetime.
In the advertisements of dental clinics also come across the terms conservative and transformative bleaching. First – it’s the same back teeth with natural color, or simply a thorough professional cleaning, not affecting the structure of the teeth. Visually, these teeth look whiter and brighter. The second type of whitening involves a more serious impact – a soft abrasive to the enamel surface or, as in the case of fotootbelivaniem, the whole tooth as a whole.
And a little bit about security. Specific medical joke says that the greatest harm to the patient can apply himself and himself, the duty doctor – to help him in this.
In terms of «dentist» means: if you do not require the physician to make a smile, Eddie Murphy, at any cost (under the motto: «I will pay all!»), Albeit in violation of technology, exposure time and, despite the tooth, all the technology whitening harmless .
