Teeth Whitening the Motivation to Give Up Smoking

Many of our the customers we treat on a day to day use the teeth whitening treatment as the kick start to give up smoking.

Smoking is one of the worst things that we consume on a day to day basis that stains our teeth changing them to a yellowish or brownish colour over a period of time. Typically smokers will have slightly darker teeth in the middle than the teeth located to the sides as these are the teeth that absorb the nicotine and change the colour.

Having a whitening treatment can involve purchasing home kit, a laser or zoom treatment or having the trays made at the dentist so smokers have plenty of choice.

Home kits

The most affordable way to whiten these days with the internet supplying a massive choice of trays or strips at fairly low cost per usage. Home kits are normally low strength and therefore for deep or stubborn staining home kits are normally not that effective. However for many smokers home kits can be worth trying. If used regularly then eventually you will notice a change to the colouration and deep staining will start to remove. These kits are worth using as a maintenance in between a laser treatment as you then get the best scenario of instant whiteness and a low cost, time efficient way of keeping the staining away.

Laser or Zoom whitening

This is becoming one of the most popular ways to whiten the teeth because it only takes one hour to perform the treatment and therefore minimises the hassle factor. Laser whitening involves placing a gel on to the surface of the teeth and the light activates the gel and increase the speed of the whitening process, without the laser the teeth would still whiten but much slower and less effectively.

Tray based bleaching

The dentist will make the trays to suit the mouth and then the customers will use the trays for fourteen consecutive days. Normally this involves sleeping in the trays overnight and during the treatment it is best to stay away from anything likely to re-stain the teeth easily. This system requires dedication and not everyone is comfortable sleeping with the trays in their mouth. For deeper staining the trays are very effective and once you have purchased the trays the ongoing maintenance is also a consideration. For example using the trays once every six to eight weeks will ensure the staining is kept at bay and this will keep the look of the teeth as white as possible.

Whatever way you decide to approach using teeth whitening to give up smoking there is plenty of information on the web to help you make the right decision. Obviously budget plays a part to play but also people should think about the longer term management when deciding the best solution.

Ring a few companies and get some advice from your dentist is the best way to approach this and whatever you decide good luck with your whitening adventure and giving up smoking!
