Bleaching Is A Popular Method Of Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening is the practise of lightening the natural colour of the tooth while avoiding removal of the tooth surface

. While a complete colour change cannot be made, the process can make the existing shade lighter, depending on the type of teeth whitening product used and the severity of the tooth staining.

Teeth whitening Liverpool can take place for a number of different reasons. It may be that over time the consumption of staining foods and drinks such as coffee and red wine has caused the teeth to become discoloured. Teeth staining can also occur as a result of smoking, or certain medications, which can also cause the teeth to become discoloured. The truth is that very few people have perfectly white teeth, and that tooth discolouration is a natural part of the aging process, but teeth whitening Liverpool is still an option for those who are extremely unhappy with the appearance of their teeth.

Along with the rise in popularity of laser teeth whitening treatments in recent decades has grown the trend for celebrities getting their teeth whitened. For many, this has piled the pressure on, causing even those who do not really need to undergo treatment to end up paying large sums for expensive teeth whitening treatments. In a survey carried out in 2007 by the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, one third of the population claimed not to be happy with the appearance of their teeth, while only one in four said they were satisfied. In 2009, around 10,000 people underwent some form of teeth whitening treatment in the UK alone, suggesting that teeth whitening are becoming a more complex issue tied up with the assault of media imagery on a general public who have yet to become immune to its insinuation that the images represent what everyone should look like.

Nonetheless, for those in genuine need of teeth whitening, there are many options available. There are a variety of toothpastes on the market promising teeth whitening effects, but the word whitening here is perhaps a little misleading. What these toothpastes actually do is to use differing levels of abrasive polishers to clean the teeth with, removing dirt and other particles, but not necessarily whitening them the way a product containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide can. The abrasive ingredients in these products sometimes include ground pumice stone, which can be too harsh for teeth, causing gum recession and damage to the enamel. Baking soda is considered a far safer option and has long been used in a variety of home-made compounds to whiten teeth.

Bleaching is a popular method of teeth whitening and can be carried out either by a dental professional or using an at-home DIY kit. The difference between bleaching trays offered professionally and at home kits is that the bleaching gel in the kits is not put into a custom-fit tray, which can cause the gel to leak onto the gums and mouth. Custom moulds are available for home use, but they can be difficult to use.

Zoom and laser teeth whitening is another, albeit quite expensive method of professional teeth whitening where a gel is applied to the teeth.A zoom heat lamp or an argon laser is then used to activate the gel.
