Bleaching

With the pale of the teeth, the stubborn discolorations which are also can not to be removed by means of a professional teeth-cleaning can be lightened by active oxygen. Professional whitening of the teeth with oxygen-releasing substances is a method proven and used for many years to reduce discolorations. Numerous studies show the effect of it on the dental hard substance.



What happens while whitening of teeth?

The clarification is caused by oxidation and reduction processes in the dental hard substance. Peroxide disintegrates into oxygen radicals which immigrate between the enamel prisms through, coloring molecules and decolorize it. Numerous studies have proved the effectiveness, also the harmlessness. Sometimes sensitivities occur during the whitening treatment on the teeth. These are due to the dehydration (water loss) of the teeth. You can prevent or relieve it by giving more time to rehydrogenation between two séances (intervals). For example, a splint which is only every second night taken can be filled with a Fluorid gel for night usage.

Compared with the commercially available resources such as white strip, professional tooth whitening offers a better way and the advantage is that all regions of the teeth can be whitened with the individually prepared slides.
