People who are concerned with how white their teeth appear should consider visiting a Dentist in Attleboro, MA for assistance with this issue. While there are a number of treatments that a person may consider, unless the treatments are done using professional strength products and under the direction of a dentist, they may not produce the best results. In addition, using commercial types of whitening products can take much longer and this can result in them being more costly than visiting a dentist may be.
Another advantage to having one’s teeth whitened at a dental office is that the patient’s teeth are generally professional cleaned prior to the treatment. This allows the whitening product to work directly on the teeth rather than needing to work through a buildup of plaque or tartar.
Once the patient’s teeth are cleaned, the dentist will generally need to custom fit a dental tray to the patient’s mouth. This tray will be used to hold the whitening product tight against the patient’s teeth. Having it custom fitted can be of great benefit in ensuring all the patient’s teeth are well coated with the whitening gel.
A dentist in Attleboro MA will be able to use professional whitening products in their treatment of the patient. These products are generally much stronger and highly concentrated than those available in a commercial kit. This means the teeth will get much whiter and in a shorter amount of time. Using professional products is also a good idea as some commercial products can actually cause damage to the teeth due to their use of abrasive materials.
Whitening products generally come in the form of foam or gel. It is placed in the tray before being applied to the teeth. Once applied to the teeth, most dentists have a laser light, UV or heat lamp that they will then apply to the product to activate the product. This product will then work its way into the pores of the teeth where stains and discoloration is located. Once there it will work to break-up the stain. This will allow more light into the tooth, which will cause it to be whiter and brighter as well.
After having a professional whitening treatment the patient will immediately begin to notice a change in the color of their teeth. Sometimes only one treatment is necessary. However, there are cases where more than one will be required.
