TEETH WHITENING RESULTS

Within the field of cosmetic dentistry, there isn't one definitive system or chart that measures and determines tooth color. However, when deciding a proper course of action with teeth whitening a professional dentist will first refer to what's known as a shade guide. Most shade guides represent 4 basic shade ranges: A - reddish brown, B - reddish yellow, C - gray and D - reddish gray. Within each range, there are usually several levels.
When you consult a professional dentist regarding teeth whitening they will begin by matching each tooth to a shade on the guide. Then, they will make an assessment as to your possible shade improvement based on a several areas, such as dental hygiene habits, severity of the stains, age, etc.

It's important to understand that there are no exact answers as to exactly how white your teeth can actually become. Results typically depend on such things as your natural tooth color, your dental hygiene habits, how stubborn the stains are, if you are on medications, past trauma to the tooth, etc. As with any medical procedure, don't take the chance with over-the-counter kits. It is ALWAYS best to first consult a qualified, professional dentist to determine a proper course of action based on your situation so it is done safely.

I was on a trip in Miami when I got the chance to visit a dentist. I consulted him my teeth which are slowly turning into reddish yellow. After a day of tests, he then advised me that I can try using teeth whitening strips after I brush my teeth, and if it still doesn't work for me, he told me to have another dental check up.

Teeth changing colour is just a fact of life for many of us as the daily diets and lifestyle will gradually change them in colour making them look dull and dirty but really the teeth could be extremely healthy but dis-coloured they look far from being healthy.

Teeth Whitening is not a simple process. It needs a thorough check up before starting the treatment for decayed teeth or sensitive teeth. Here is the importance of such laws which will prevent unauthenticated persons from practicing. Only those who have good knowledge and licensed to do cosmetic dentistry can offer you a quality service.

Having a dentist professionally whiten your teeth is the best way to get those pearly whites. However, with the high cost of modern dentistry, knowing there are systems that will let you whiten your teeth at home is a good thing to know. One thing to remember is that teeth whiteners do not work on veneers or other types of dental work. It only whitens your natural teeth.

I am a bit of a naturalist when it comes to health care. I want to make sure that I am always choosing the healthiest options. I know that the dentist will help make my teeth white, but what are some foods I can eat to maintain the whiteness?

I didn't realize there were so many different factors that could affect tooth color. I knew about some of those things, such as how stained your teeth are. I didn't know that some medications could affect the color as well.

Thanks for this. I agree with this statement "It's important to understand that there are no exact answers as to exactly how white your teeth can actually become." I notice that some clients get angry with their dentist because they not receive the white as milk teeth.

My family hasn't had family pictures taken for a long time, it's probably been five years. Since we haven't had them taken in so long I want these ones to look good so I want to look my best.

I appreciate the information about what the process is to get teeth whitening. I just assumed that you went in to the dentist and they just did their job. However, now I understand that every case is different and because of this I understand why dentists refer to a shade guide.

I have been cursed with the yellow teeth gene that pretty much everyone in my family carries. I have tried all of those over the counter teeth whitening remedies, yet nothing has worked. Some of them did work, but they were a temporary fix. I think that I might have to go to a dentist to get my teeth whitened by them. That way I know it will last longer. http://www.laserdentalvic.com.au/treatments-before--after
