Art De Dente Expose Cautions About Teeth Whitening Melbourne

Announcement posted by Art De Dente 02 Nov 2012

Teeth whitening is not permanent. People who expose their teeth to foods and beverages that cause staining may see the whiteness start to fade in as little as one month. Those who avoid foods and beverages that stain may be able to wait one year or longer before another whitening treatment or touch-up is needed. The degree of whiteness will vary from individual to individual depending on the condition of the teeth, the level of staining, and the type of bleaching system used.

At-Home Teeth Whitening vs. Dentist-Supervised Teeth Whitening; There are differences between whitening teeth at home and having them bleached in a dentist's office, including: Strength of bleaching agent. Over-the-counter products and dentist-supervised at-home products usually contain a lower strength bleaching agent, with about a 10% to 22% carbamide peroxide content, which is equivalent to about 3% hydrogen peroxide. In-office, professionally applied tooth whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide in concentrations ranging from 15% to 43%. Mouthpiece trays. With dentist-supervised at-home bleaching products, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and make a mouthpiece tray that is customized to exactly fit your teeth. This customization allows for maximum contact between the whitening gel, which is applied to the mouthpiece tray, and the teeth. A custom-made tray also minimizes the gel's contact with gum tissue. Over-the-counter whitening products also contain a mouthpiece tray, but the "one-size-fits-all" approach means that the fit will not be exact. Ill-fitting trays can irritate the gum and soft tissue by allowing more bleaching gel to seep onto these tissues. With in-office procedures, the bleaching agent is applied directly to the teeth.

A survey that was given showed 91% of 8,143 dentists stated that they had used vital tooth bleaching, 79% reported success, while 12% were not satisfied with the concept. Side effects reported by the respondents included the following: 62.2% noted tooth hypersensitivity 10.7 % of the time; 45.9% reported soft-tissue irritation 5.6% of the time; 2.1% noted systemic effects 0.2% of the time; and 18.8% reported no side effects (Christensen, 1997). The most commonly observed clinical effects of treatments with tooth whiteners include mild tooth hypersensitivity to temperature changes and irritation of oral mucosa in some patients (Li et al. [Abstract], 1996, Haywood, 1993, 1997). Some patients have also reported burning palate, throat and gingiva (Howard, 1992). Tooth hypersensitivity often occurs during the early stage of bleaching treatment, and it is usually transient. The tray rather than the tooth whitening materials may cause the mucosal irritation. Industry has reported several studies concerning the use of peroxide (2.7-7% hydrogen peroxide) containing tooth whitening products for less than 6 months, resulting in the same adverse events (oral soft tissue irritation and tooth sensitivity) observed in two week studies. The majority of the adverse events were mild and all had resolved within 3 days after the products use was discontinued. No adverse events resolution related to treatment was required. There was a trend toward a slight increase in adverse event incidence with increasing hydrogen peroxide concentration. Oral soft tissue irritation or oral hard tissue adverse incidence in groups using hydrogen peroxide products was not significantly different compared to the concurrent placebo in any study. In only 2 of 14 studies, the total adverse events incidence was statistically significantly greater in subjects using hydrogen peroxide compared to the concurrent placebo groups. Even 6 months continuous use of either a strip or a custom tray peroxide product caused the same mild, transient adverse events (tooth sensitivity and oral soft tissue irritation) as those observed after 14 or 28 days of product use. Many teeth whitening systems and products are available, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and whitening products obtained from a dentist.
