Teeth Whitening The Chemical Way
By Jeff Lakie
When purchasing teeth whiteners over the counter to use at home there
are some things you need to know. Some whiteners will definitely
brighten your smile but may also weaken the enamel of your teeth. The
enamel needs to be hard and durable in order to prevent decay and
sensitivity so consider the whitening product you choose very carefully.
The Food and Drug Administrator (FDA) does not consider teeth
whitening products as a drug, therefore they do not regulate the
ingredients or application of these products. As a consumer you are left
to trust the company that essentially is out to make money to regulate
these components in their product.
The American Dental Association (ADA) has set up guidelines for teeth
whitening products. The ADA seal of acceptance on teeth whitening
products and techniques will allow the consumer to know the product has
met the criteria for safe and effective use. Achieving the ADA seal of
approval for a particular product is time consuming and relatively costly.
Receiving ADA approval proves a company's dedication, care, and
attention to offering the public a product conducive to healthful oral care.
At the dentist you can ask for and receive teeth whitening products and
services. Costs for these diverse means of brightening vary also. There
are ways to brighten your smile with light. A relatively new technique
some people rave about the end result with very little side effects
mentioned while others are quite the opposite in their opinion.
For use in the home environment, your dentist may suggest whiteners.
There are methods by which you paint the solution on your teeth. There
are methods by which you ¡°dip¡± your teeth into a tray of gel type
solutions. All methods are equally effective but you really must decide
whether the end results of a whiter brighter smile are worth the risks you
may encounter.
First impressions are just that and a nice white smile is a wonderful first
impression to make. If you cant drink anything hot or cold due to
sensitivity or you have a mouth full of fillings due to decay first
impressions don't seem that important all the sudden. There are many
safe products for teeth whitening. There are many products that are
effective. Be certain the one you decide to use is both.
