Teeth Whitening In dubai

There are a number of factors that can cause the staining or discoloration of your teeth. Among the reasons are as follows:

• Smoking – Tobacco use can create stains on the teeth that are difficult to remove. There are two ingredients in tobacco that are the culprits of darker teeth: tar and nicotine. Tar is naturally dark while nicotine is colorless but turns yellowish when mixed with oxygen.
• Food & Beverages– Certain dark colored food and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine cause teeth stains. Their intense color pigments called chromogens stick to your teeth enamel causing discoloration.
• Aging– As you grow old, your enamel, which is the white outer shell of your teeth wears off. As a result, the softer and more yellowish part of your teeth called the dentin becomes more apparent.
• Medications – Teeth staining can be a side effect of certain medications such as antihistamines, antipsychotics, and certain high-blood pressure drugs. Even babies exposed to some antibiotics when their teeth are forming may have discoloration in their teeth later in their adult life.
• Trauma – Accidents that impact the mouth may affect your teeth color. Your tooth reacts to an injury by laying down more dentin, which is the darker layer of your teeth under the enamel.

Professional hygienists can give you proper evaluation depending on your teeth and gum condition. Sharing information with our hygienists regarding your habits and lifestyle can also help customize the teeth whitening program that’s well suited for you. You will also be examined for any teeth sensitivity to make sure your treatment will not cause any discomfort.

For in-office laser teeth whitening, a good two hours is needed to complete the procedure. Your hygienist will begin by making a record of your current teeth shade and taking impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays.

This will be followed by a gum protection procedure and the application of the whitening gel. Curing light or laser will be used to activate the bleaching agent. The teeth will rest with the solution for about an hour and can be reapplied occasionally until desired results are achieved. Once the best shade is reached, fluoride will be applied to ease any tooth sensitivity.

After your in-office laser teeth whitening procedure, your hygienist will provide you a home whitening kit to supplement your initial treatment. You may have to wear your custom-fitted tray (included in the kit) for one hour a day, for three days after your treatment for best results. It is advised that you brush and floss first before wearing the tray.
