What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is the best way to reverse stains and yellowing, and restore the natural brightness of your smile. There are lots of different whitening methods, but they all use the same basic active ingredient, known as a “peroxide.” Both hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide can be used for teeth whitening.
These peroxides contain very volatile oxygen molecules. When these contact surface stains on your enamel, they “snap” the molecular bonds that hold the stains in the pores of your teeth. This “bleaches” your tooth, removing the stain and restoring the naturally bright appearance of your enamel.
However, it is important to note that teeth whitening only works on external stains, and is not effective for internally-stained teeth. Severe stains may also be too extensive to treat with teeth whitening. In these cases, alternative cosmetic treatments such as veneers may be recommended.
What Can I Expect From My Zoom! Teeth Whitening Treatment?
To begin the process, your dentist in Fort Worth, TX will use a special liquid protectant to coat your gums, and he will separate your cheeks and tongue from your teeth using retractors. Then, he will apply the Zoom! whitening gel, and use a special LED light appliance to activate the gel and speed up the whitening process.
The gel is left on for 15 minutes, and then is rinsed away. This process is typically repeated 3 times, so you’ll spend a total of 45 minutes having your teeth whitened. After this, Dr. Schmidgall will apply a special gel to protect your teeth post-treatment, and you’ll be sent home to enjoy your bright new smile.
Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Yes. Most patients experience some tooth sensitivity for a few days after treatment. This is normal, and should be expected. It will go away quickly, and is not a cause for concern.
To help with sensitivity, you can use Sensodyne or a similar anti-sensitivity toothpaste. Eating soft foods and avoiding very hot foods and drinks such as hot coffee or ice cream can also help you mitigate tooth sensitivity as you recover from teeth whitening.
Dr. Schmidgall and his staff are very friendly and warm. The office is well run and very professional. Treatment there is always comfortable and painless!
