Teeth staining can be obtained when consuming tea and coffee, deeply colored sauces (tomato sauce, curry and soy sauce), eating berries (pomegranates, blackberries, cherries),candy and sweets and drinking Red wine, sports drink and acidic foods, soda, cola and carbonated drinks or even with smoking. Those extremely pigmented substances sticks to the enamel causing tooth discoloration. Moreover as we age, the enamel thins out thus exposing the dentin or the yellowish surface inside. When you are already bothered about how your teeth have discolored in years, getting them treated professionally under your dentist supervision is the most effective way to whiten your smile. However, there are also home solutions that you can do to solve your tooth dilemma. The basic thing that must be remembered is to search for product with Carbamide or Hydrogen Peroxide. These substances have the ability to lighten the stains and enter into the enamel. Trays and strips are among the most effective with their peroxide concentration and their duration of use. When using these methods it must be noted that they may also bring some sensitivity to the tooth so it is important to follow their directions carefully. Home whitening products containing Carbamide Peroxide comes with 10% to 20% and can even vary. Choose a product that offers mid-range bleaching agent or contains regular concentration. Starting on minimum concentration and increasing it gradually can help you avoid sensitivity while attaining dazzling white smile. Check for whiteners that have American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance including Polanight gel that comes in 10%, 16% and 22% concentration. When using whiteners, it is important to follow the prescribed instructions to prevent some problems such as sensitivity or irritation of the gums. Leaving gels or strips like Crest Whitestrips for longer time than it is advised must be avoided. For example some of the OTC strips are recommended to be used for 30 minutes daily for a period of two weeks. If you use it more than the prescribed then you will be exposed to risk of gum inflammation and even oral problems. After your treatment, it is important to avoid consuming foods that can stain your teeth to prevent the problem from coming back. It should also be noted that not all can be a good candidate for whitening. Pregnant and lactating woman must delay the treatment if they are considering it. Tooth with crowns and porcelains are also not recommended for such procedure as they are resistant to these substances. Expect mild sensitivity that is temporary when using the products. In case it becomes alarming, immediately stop the treatment and consult your dentist. Summary: Before considering teeth whitening procedures, it is important to have your dentist advice to ensure that you avoid oral problems such as inflammation of gums, irritation or sensitivity. Follow the instructions carefully and do not exceed the prescribed use of whiteners to ensure that you avoid teeth complications.
