Researching on the internet and you will find lots of different brands and methods of teeth whitening but the blue light system is what we are discussing in this article.
The blue light method is known as lots of differing names including laser, power whitening, zoom and many more but essentially there are very similar in how they whiten the teeth.
Many of us experience a decline in the colour of the teeth over a long period of times and this is because when we age the teeth will darken because of the pores in the enamel getting blocked and even though this process is natural and does not hurt the teeth as the only implication is the teeth get yellow or brown in colour.
The saliva will be absorbed and released in the tooth and then convert this to calcium deposits which then lie in the enamel and it is these calcium deposits that darken over a long period of time as they absorb more and more staining.
The second challenge we face is the dentin underneath the enamel will also darken over time or even be slightly darker than the average when we are born and it is difficult to whiten as the dentin is effectively protected by the enamel so only the outer edges of the dentin are brightened.
Blue light whitening works and the energy from the light is transferred in to the teeth, which is covered in a peroxide based gel. This will oxidise and work very quickly to remove the staining from the enamel. This process will take around one hour and will incur around three to four applications with the light and gel.
After the treatment has been completed the results are immediate and this is why the blue light whitening treatment is so popular and requires no effort which people tend to like.
The only potential downside like with most teeth whitening is the possibility of sensitivity within the teeth. Because of the whitening intensity it is difficult to control who and when you are likely to receive some pain normally in the lower teeth, but will only last a few days and then disappear completely. Whitening is well worth some potential short term pain because the results are generally very good and instant as well. Sometimes on the internet people focus so much of the fact they got some sensitivity with teeth whitening and overlook the fact they have a much brighter smile which to me seems crazy. What other cosmetic treatment would have without receiving a little short term discomfort so why should the teeth be any different!
So if you are wanting a bright smile that gives you more confidence and want the easiest, most straight forward way to whiten the teeth then the blue light whitening is good but always ensure you have regular check ups with the dentist to ensure the teeth and gums are healthy.
I hope this has helped you and good luck with achieving your new smile!
