Undoubtedly, the best way to maintain white teeth is to have good habits as long as possible. For this it is necessary to avoid:

- The snuff in all its forms

- The dark colored drinks such as coffee, tea, colas ...

- Meals with highly saturated colors such as tomato sauce, saffron, soy sauce, squid ink and in general, fruits and vegetables that are brightly colored.

There dietary pigments that neutralize the bleaching effect. Also taking certain medications can cause our teeth to darken.

These notes mean we do not have to do a "white diet" for the rest of our days, everything must be done with common sense, and when the teeth resume a more yellowish color, go to the clinic for review (assuming that everything is in state of health). You will have a prophylaxis to remove surface stains and the state of the gums is controlled. That's when we make a bleaching or a full memory.

The technique of tooth whitening experts Dentistry consultation is carried out in combination, ie, one or more sessions in the clinic and continue treatment at home.

Products used in I love my dentist are safe and quality. Depending on the type of bleaching that we will make, we will vary the concentrations of active ingredient. For clinical session will use the high concentration activated by a light bulb LED. Products are safe because they have a neutral pH and include desensitizing agents. The lamp is cold light pulpitis which prevents possible overheating of the tooth.

The / as in / ones complement clinical treatment at home, because with only appointment in consultation is not enough to provide the desired color and brightness. long term more contact time between the tooth whitening product and getting reach the right color and maintain its stability is needed. If times are not respected, the color will recur (return to original color) much sooner than it should.

 

Home remedies for teeth whitening

They have always tried to have the slightly whiter teeth because it gives image cleaning and care, even since the 90s has undergone a revolution in terms of demand and whitening techniques imported from USA.

Traditionally used hydrogen peroxide rinses and tooth brushing with sodium perborate. These home remedies have been used because there was something else, but at present we have reliable, safe and durable methods of tooth whitening.

The so-called bleaching pastes do not contain enough concentration of whitening product to be able to brighten teeth since by law is not allowed to sell if it is not under the supervision of a dentist; there is only one and the need to provide your dentist because it is not an OTC product.
