The spa-like Britesmile teeth whitening solution uses a state of the art proprietary laser light to activate the bleaching process in the high concentration hydrogen peroxide teeth. Working in conjunction, these two effectively remove external stains on your teeth and improve your dental hygiene. Unlike other types of laser teeth treatments, the BriteSmile laser system emits light with neither heat nor UV rays which can be harmful to our bodies. Each treatment lasts only about an hour and the best part is that dramatic whiter shade results can be seen almost immediately. If you are rushing for a important photo shoot or hot date, you just need to pay more for getting a confident smile. A unsubstantiated study in Boston claims that patients undergoing BriteSmile procedure also improved the health of their gums. We are not convinced it is really directly due to the laser and bleaching treatments. Most likely these people felt the pinch of the expensive Britesmile process and are angry with their previous poor oral hygiene that led to yellowish teeth. To avoid paying through their nose again, most decided to take more proper care and brush their teeth regularly to prevent stain buildups.

Many people who want whiten teeth fast will have to seek professional dentist treatments such as zoom teeth whitening which has potential for 8 shades of whiter tooth enamel. The actual dental surgical operation usually takes less than an hour. Before the laser light assisted bleaching, your entire teeth structure will first be cleaned and polished by the dentist to remove plaque and tartar. These preparations allow your teeth dentin to get maximum exposure to the bleaching process and have an uniform whitening effect. Rest assure that the anatomical structure of your teeth will remain safe as the Zoom treatment only acts on the discolored tooth dentin areas. Some slight teeth sensitivity may be encountered but the dentist will usually prescribe some anti-sensitivity toothpastes to alleviate the pain and discomforts. Bring some magazines or books to read while waiting for the zoom teeth laser to work its magic, or you may doze off during the teeth bleaching.

If you have been using teeth gels for whitening your teeth but is not very successful, you are probably missing the other side of the complete equation - the teeth trays. These plastic molds that fit over your upper and lower set of teeth can help to prevent your saliva from diluting and washing away the teeth gels coated on your teeth. A good set of teeth trays fit securely over your teeth without causing too much discomfort.

This is because the Zoom bleaching gel contains 32% hydrogen peroxide gel, several times more than your Pro Effects strips and also comes with a proprietary activation agent to speed up the start of the teeth bleaching process. The third component that completes the Zoom teeth package is a mercury metal halide light with a wavelength of around 350-400nm, in other words safe violet rays to enhance the whitening teeth effect. If you are worried about getting burns from the laser, rest assured that this is a cool laser that does not cause any significant temperature rises in the patient mouth during the treatment.

Before I forgot, there is also a post treatment fluoride application gel given to you to restore any mineral loss from your teeth during the bleaching treatment.

Do not attempt to whiten or bleaching your teeth before you stop your bleeding gums first. Most people hate anything foreign in their mouths, especially the taste of your own blood, the cleaning gel and the metal tools used by dentists. When you taste blood, you try to keep rinsing your mouth with water until you can no longer taste anymore blood. When that blood is flowing from your gums because you have periodontitis (bad gum disease) or from a recent tooth extraction socket, you are actually preventing the blood from being clotting. Naturally, it is going to keep bleeding compared to the case where you leave it alone. Remember the last time you have a cut and you start bleeding or when you have a nose bleed. If you keep touching and washing the wound, it will take a longer time for the blood to clot and start the bleeding. So simply do nothing and let the bleeding gums stop and heal by itself. When its done, let the gums rest for a few more days and then you can start with some simple DIY or professional dentist teeth whitening.
