Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening is a procedure performed by a dental professional, which involves bleaching or making teeth several shades lighter. A trained dental practitioner must perform the whitening procedure for it to be successful and have minimal risk. Visiting the highly qualified dental team at RJ Dental gives you access to quality services that satisfy any dental needs you may have.  Advantages of Consulting a ProfessionalBefore undergoing a teeth whitening procedure, you should make an appointment with the dentist. Once we are confident that the process should be done, the dentist will use a robust peroxide solution. The solution is guaranteed to make teeth three or more shades lighter. The color of teeth determines the amount of time in-house treatment will take, but the modern trends in dental equipment and techniques speed up the process without compromising the quality of the result. Having the procedure done by a professional not only makes your teeth whiter but also gives you access to other dental services, such as filling cavities and the removal of tartar and plaque so that you have a healthy and bright smile. Having a professional do the work relieves you of worry and self-doubt, wondering whether you have done it correctly using over-the-counter products that are less effective. Having a trained practitioner guarantees vigilance and safety. At the end of the procedure, you will be offered a whitening tray to use at home to make sure you continue maintaining the newly acquired lighter shade according to the instructions. Who Should Have Their Teeth Whitened?The truth of the matter is that everyone experiences tooth discoloration at a certain point in life. From the food we eat to the beverages we drink, there are many reasons why teeth change color and require professional whitening services. Before any whitening procedure, the dentist ensures that you have healthy teeth, preferably no fillings or restorations, and healthy gum tissue. People who have the following conditions are not fit for teeth whitening, basically because of safety reasons. Pregnant or lactating mothers, people under the age of 16, and those who have an allergic reaction to teeth whitening agents are not fit candidates to receive teeth whitening treatments. Additional factors may determine whether you can undergo the whitening procedure. Still, most dental professionals do not recommend whitening if you have periodontal disease, cavities, exposed roots, or decay. How to Prepare for Professional Teeth WhiteningHaving a successful teeth whitening session at the dentist gives you access to top-notch services, and that's why you need to carry out the following procedures before and after you visit the dentist. Adhering to a strict cleaning schedule by regularly flossing and brushing is essential to prepare you for professional whitening. It would help if you also avoided home dental treatments to prevent sensitivity while undergoing dental whitening at the practitioner's office. Once you have undergone the whitening procedure, you need to schedule a follow-up visit. A trained dental practitioner will advise you to switch from regular toothpaste to sensitive toothpaste so as not to experience any discomfort after the procedure.
