When deciding if you should whiten your teeth at home or at the dentist, it’s important to think about the pros and cons of each. Even though at-home teeth whitening is cheaper than professional teeth whitening, the results of professional teeth whitening are much better and carry much less risk than those of over-the-counter or at-home procedures.
No matter which method you choose, there will be hydrogen peroxide in both at-home and in-office bleaching solutions. The amount of peroxide in systems at work ranges from 15% to 43%, while the amount at home ranges from 3% to 20%. The bleaching agent used at the dentist has more peroxide in it, which makes it work better and take less time to whiten your teeth.
Dentists use heat or light and a high concentration of peroxide to speed up the bleaching process and get better results. Professional teeth whitening can make your smile up to 8 shades whiter and brighter in just one hour, while at-home methods can take weeks or even months to make a difference.
Teeth whitening can cause pain and irritation in the gums and teeth. When you leave the whitening gel on your teeth for too long, you lose water and feel pain. If the peroxide chemical gets on your gums, it could hurt them and make some foods hurt when you eat them. The patient is much more likely to abuse at-home whitening products, which can lead to sensitivity, pain, and less-than-ideal results.
On the other hand, the dentist will make sure that your mouth, teeth, and gums are safe before putting on the whitening solution. A dentist who does teeth whitening knows how to keep the teeth from getting hurt and get the best results.
One of the best things about going to the dentist to get your teeth whitened is that a professional will watch over you before and during the process. This is something that you can’t get at home.
First, before you get your teeth whitened, the dentist will check your teeth to make sure you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. If you have restoration work that can be seen, it won’t be bleached. This means that your teeth will still be discoloured or stained. The dentist should be able to look at your teeth carefully and decide if bleaching is a good idea for you. This can help make sure that bad things don’t happen.
Before giving you the bleaching agent, the trained hygienist will clean your teeth and get rid of any plaque or tartar. This will help you get the best results. During treatment, the dentist will also check on the whitening method to make sure nothing goes wrong and that the process goes as smoothly as possible, with as little tooth sensitivity and gum irritation as possible.
Most at-home whitening methods (whitening toothpaste, baking soda, etc.) remove plaque and stains from the surface of the teeth. Professional whitening, on the other hand, penetrates the teeth from the inside, where stains from age and medications happen. Compared to devices you can use at home, this has much more dramatic and long-lasting effects. (It’s important to note that, depending on your condition, you may need more than one session to see big changes.)
When you compare the risks of at-home whitening treatments to the benefits of professional whitening, this should be the better choice.
