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.

In case you are wondering, yes the Zoom teeth whitener system also uses a hydrogen peroxide-based gel similar in theory to your $20 Crest whitening teeth strips. So why pay so much more for some hydrogen peroxide? 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. The laser unit also has an infrared filter to further minimize the amount of heat radiated onto the teeth surface. 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.

Since there are so many teeth whitening treatments and products on the market nowadays, how should you choose the most ideal one that suits you the most? Would it be some tried and tested at home whitening teeth strips, or a professional in-office dentist procedure. This is not an easy solution as a normal consumer trying to whiten your teeth for the first time can be overwhelmed by the vast amount of information and marketing slogans available. According to the news, this tooth whitening market is worth around $4 billion dollars per annum just for the United States alone and it is still on the rise as people become more and more concerned about keeping up their good looks.

Interestingly, not many teeth whitening products claim to be able to remove tetracycline stains on the teeth. The conventional solution is to wear porcelain veneers to cover up these tetracycline stains. Although BriteSmile claims to be able to remove tetracycline stains, be aware that many treatments may be required and the total treatment costs can be very high. It seems that persistence and time is more important for removing such discolored teeth. By the way, it seems that abrasion-based whitening toothpastes have absolutely no effects on clearing up tetracycline stains since they are intrinsic stains.

Halitosis bad breath is a common oral problem that plagues many people. Luckily, many people are willing to visit a dentist and seek medication for bad mouth odor.
