Smile for the Camera: A Closer Look at Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening has become a common dental treatment procedure that is used by a large number of people to present a more appealing image of their smile. Its popularity may also be linked to the fact that the introduction of new procedures or methods like strips, trays, whitening tooth paste and gels has made treatment safer, easier, and cheaper.

Teeth Whitening Methods


There are different tooth whitening options available to whiten one’s teeth. Some of these methods include: Chair-side bleaching, which deals with frequent visits to a dentist for close and personal expert care during treatments; Dentists supervise gels used for teeth whitening; Crowns, are a procedure used to fix decayed teeth where the outside of the teeth is sanded down and a new artificial tooth is attached over it; and Veneers, which cover the stained part of a tooth. Though, before one undergoes any teeth whitening method, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that patients should have their teeth checked by a dentist.

Pro’s vs. Con’s


Tooth whitening procedures are a sure way to improve the appearance of teeth and to increase self esteem. Cons to teeth whitening include sore gums as well as tooth sensitivity, the chance of chemical burns, the fact that bleaching might not work on some severely discolored teeth, and the an increased risk of cancer of the tongue.

Risks


Tooth whitening, which is considered a safe procedure to produce white and sparkling teeth, has its side effects, which can cause mild amounts of discomfort and pain. A reduction in the tooth enamel is another risk. Treatment of this nature is not suitable for pregnant women and patients who just had recent dental treatments. The chance of tongue cancer is another serious risk.
