Teeth Bleaching Products

I’ve been questioning myself about teeth bleaching trays. Well I want to try crest whitening strips but I hear lots of people say its not good, is that true for teeth bleaching trays? How can i get my teeth white?

my best friend was looking for opalescence teeth answer. She used crest white strips but she also complains that her teeth have gotten more sensitive when she drinks ice tea. she tried a teeth whitener kit online and it’s still white but without the sensitivity. im not a dentist but i can only assume its strips that made it sensitive. you can get the white strips at any store and the kit from the website below. hope that can help guide your opalescence teeth question.

Most people bleach their teeth once every six months, but would bleaching teeth more than that cause damage?

DAMAGE TO TEETH= UNLIKELY
DAMAGE TO GUMS IF THE BLEACHING GEL GETS ON THE GUMS = A POSSIBILITY
WILL THIS BE PERMANENT DAMAGE? = NO, JUST IRRITATED.

WHAT WILL DO TO THE TEETH THEMSELVES?
MAKE THEM MORE SENSITIVE TO COLD.
DOING A TOUCH-UP WHITENING IS A NICE IDEA EVERY 6 MONTHS TO KEEP A SMILE LOOKING GREAT.

I am thinking of having veneers put on and I want my teeth to be the right shade before I have them put on. I really want to accompish all this in about 6 weeks is that possible? The color of my teeth arent very stained at all, I just need a couple shades brighter. Thats why I thought the white strips might work just as well as bleaching trays.

All whitening products contain peroxide either as carbamide peroxide (CP) or hydrogen peroxide (HP). Peroxide dissolves the organic stains in the tooth to change the color and produce a whitened effect.
There are four types of peroxide-containing tooth whitening products available:
* In-practice products are applied by a dental professional. These products contain a high percentage of CP or HP and are applied directly to the teeth. Some activated by heat, light, or laser. This may be the product for you if you’re in a hurry for whiter teeth and you don’t have tooth sensitivity. For very dark-colored teeth, the whitening process can be sped up in two to three hours followed by a take-home product until the desired whiteness is achieved.
* A take-home product supervised by a dentist is the most popular whitening method. These products contain a lesser percentage of CP or HP than in-practice products and are worn in a tray overnight or during the day at home. A custom-fitted tray is made to hold the whitening product directly against the teeth while lessening its contact with the gums. Some products have fluoride added to help prevent or treat mild tooth sensitivities. The typical stains of ageing will whiten in seven to fourteen days when the tray is worn overnight.
* Over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products contain a small percentage of HP or CP. Caution should be used with these products as many contain an acidic solution that can wear away tooth enamel. OTC products use a bulky, one-size-fits-all tray to hold the product. Usually more product is swallowed than stays in the tray because of the trays poor fit against the teeth. It can take up to six months and the purchase of several kits to get whiter teeth. Flexible strips coated with whitening gel have recently been introduced as an OTC at-home tooth whitening method. The strips are worn on the front teeth and folded over to keep them in place. Results are reported to be noticeable after fourteen days and effective for 6 months.
* Over-the-counter whitening toothpastes contain a small percentage of HP, CP, or polishing ingredient. The toothpastes are effective in keeping teeth cleaner and whiter looking but some may be very abrasive. The harsh abrasive will wear away the enamel with repeated use gradually making the teeth look yellow. Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains and prevent new stains from building up. Whitening toothpastes however aren’t in contact with the teeth long enough to remove internal stains. Ask your dentist about the safety and cavity protection of specific toothpastes before you buy.

I am curious as to how they turn a bite imprint into a little plastic mold for your teeth-like for bleaching or for invisalign. What kind of certification is required? Is this done by a dental lab tech, dentist , or what?

After the impression is made, lab stone is poured into the impression to create a stone model of your teeth. Once this is hardened and trimmed, it is placed in a "suck down" machine that heats up a sheet of plastic that is dropped over the model and a vacuum is used to form it around the teeth. Then is it trimmed to just cover the teeth. If a dentist has the proper equipment, he/she can do it in their office, or train an assistant to do it. If not, they can send it to a dental lab. No certification is needed to fabricate it, but there is legislation that requires impressions only to be done by a liscensed practicioner.

I’m not as familiar with the invisalign technique, but it does require someone with more experience in orthodontics because the teeth need to be slightly shaped with wax or trimmed in order to put the pressure on them to move them. Sometimes with bleaching trays "resovoirs" are placed on the front of the teeth by adding composite to make a spot for the bleach.

i am a first time bleacher and i don’t know what to do! i have the trays and the bleach that i got from my dentist. i did as directed and immediately my gums and certain parts of teeth started to hurt. it hurt so bad i had to take them off after a few minutes and then i noticed that my gums were turning white. it has been about 10 minutes, my gums are normal again….but what should i do, what does this mean?!

You may be using too much whitening material – if it is coming out of the trays onto your gums, that’s too much. Whitening will make your teeth sensitive in general, but its only temporary. Try using a high-flouride gel (most dental offices carry them) in the trays for 1/2 hour prior to whitening; this will help desensitize.

Hope you enjoy!
