Dr. Keith Gilbert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tooth Whitening Having white teeth is the number one aesthetic concern of most dental patients today. Tooth whitening is both a safe and effective way to achieve a beautiful, white smile. You can have a smile that sparkles by getting your teeth whitened at Dr. Gilbert’s dental office. Why Do I Need Tooth Whitening? Over time, things like food, drinks, and cigarette smoke can form layers of film on top of the natural layer of enamel on your teeth. As more and more layers collect, they eventually mix with your enamel. Enamel is porous so it absorbs stains from whatever you put into your mouth. These stains are usually harmless, but most people do not find them attractive and therefore will choose options like tooth whitening. What Causes Tooth Staining? The natural colour of your teeth The thinness and translucency of your teeth Eating and drinking habits Various chemicals and medications Teeth grinding Trauma and injuries Aging Smoking How are Teeth Whitened? Presently, one has 3 whitening options at Dr. Gilbert’s office: “Opalescence Go” whitening trays with pre dispensed bleach (15% hydrogen peroxide) worn 15 minutes to 1 hour per day. Custom fit trays and syringe bleach by Opalescence (35% carbamide peroxide) worn for 30 to 60 minutes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://drkeithgilbert.com
