Benefits of Home Bleaching
Teeth bleaching, also called teeth whitening is a procedure used in cosmetic dentistry to remove stains and discoloration from tooth enamel to create a whiter, brighter smile. Many dental practices offer bleaching services, but patients also have the option of home bleaching.
This option can save you a lot of money and you have the power to control the level of whitening that is done. You can also use the kit nightly instead of making repeated trips to your dentist's office for touch-ups until you are satisfied with the results.
Home Bleaching Options
Home teeth bleaching kits generally require approximately two or three weeks for your desired level of whiteness. These kits come in a variety of options:
� Bleaching gels
� Bleaching trays
� Whitening strips
It is wise to use any of the home bleaching kits under the supervision of your dentist. The first step will be for your dentist to give you a brief exam to be sure your teeth are in good shape to receive the treatments. In other words, you should not have any cavities or plaque build-up. If cavities are found, your dentist will repair them before any bleaching treatments begin.
