What are the pros and cons of teeth whitening? What methods are there?

Oh, well, let's start with the pros. This is aesthetics by itself. After that it is getting rid of unnecessary microflora. It is also hygienic. In principle, these are common advantages. Everything is individual here. Bleaching does not need to be done very often, because. minuses will appear, such as enamel abrasion and, possibly, allergies. Therefore, of course there are more advantages, but again this is all individual. And remember the natural color of the teeth is yellowish and not gaping white.

Whitening can be divided into two types: in the dentist's chair - professional ("office") and home.

Professional whitening, in turn, is divided into "photobleaching" and laser.

Photobleaching consists of applying a special gel to the teeth and activating it with a UV lamp. The result of this type of whitening depends on the whitening system (set) and on the number of cycles (application of gel-curing, application-curing). The result is visible on the day of the procedure.

Laser whitening. Perhaps more effective than photobleaching, but more expensive. The algorithm, in general, is similar - applied and lit. The result is immediate.

Homemade. In the chair, the dentist takes casts of your jaws, casts plaster models from them, and mouthguards are made on the models. The mouthguards are given to the patient's hands along with the home whitening gel. As a rule, mouthguards are worn at night with the gel. The result is distant. Recommended to maintain the result after professional whitening after 6-12 months.

Advantages of whitening: aesthetics, light teeth

Disadvantages: increased sensitivity of teeth may appear, which disappears 3-10 days after the procedure ... Before and after bleaching, a paste for sensitive teeth is prescribed for 10 days. After bleaching, remotherapy is performed. Enamel of problem teeth can be sealed.
