Laser teeth whitening


The easiest method to whiten your teeth is to frequently use a toothpaste with whitening agents incorporated. These agents, called peroxides, can clean stains from coffee, tobacco and other substances deposited and infiltrated in the enamel.

Pay much attention though, because such products must be used with caution. Bleaching agents may damage tooth enamel over time, so it’s not a great idea to purchase teeth whitening produces without the supervision and the feedback of your dentist.

Even though many people prefer to whiten their teeth at home, from various reasons, going to a specialist for treatment is still the best options, with regard to the safety of your gums, tongue, lips and even teeth. It might be slightly or a lot more expensive, but for some – it’s really worth the financial effort.

A technique frequently used by dentists is the laser teeth whitening. What does it imply?

First of all, there’s no actual laser involved. The doctor will first prepare your mouth, applying a protective gel on your gums and lips, so the active agent in the whitening solution cannot harm the sensitive parts in your mouth and therefore to irritate them for a longer period of time. Even with this caution measure, some brief, random secondary effect might still occur.

Then he will apply a gel on your teeth, which contains substances activated by a light, that most people call “laser light” held on top of your teeth so the whitening substances in the gel can be activated. The peroxides will then penetrate your tooth enamel and dissolve the yellow-ish color.

The length of this treatment usually depends on the shade of your teeth; darker teeth will require longer treatment sessions. The greatest advantage of this technique is that it only takes one session for the treatment to offer satisfying results and so far, this is the shortest time you currently need to spend at the dentist’s for a teeth whitening procedure.
