It is sometimes the case that people have naturally darker teeth, and it is also normal for people’s teeth to get darker over time. The darkening of the teeth can also be speeded up by such things as smoking, coffee drinking or red wine drinking. No matter what the reason for the staining on your teeth, it may get to the point where you need to take action. This is when it would be advisable to visit a dentist for deep bleaching teeth whitening treatment.

Deep bleaching treatment involves the use of peroxide gels which give off oxygen. The oxygen permeates the teeth and blasts larger staining molecules into smaller molecules. It is the larger molecules on the teeth which make them appear darker so if these are broken up into smaller ones, the teeth will appear lighter than they did before.

So how is the peroxide gel applied to the teeth? Well, the first step is for a dentist to take an accurate impression of your teeth in order to make a customised ‘gum shield’ for the patient. These are then filled with the gel and worn overnight by the patient for about two weeks. The patient would then return to the dentist after this period to receive a final intensive bleaching session which lasts about an hour.

The patient should notice a massive difference in the whiteness of their teeth after the initial treatment. The patient should also make sure that they wear the tray once every couple of months. If they do this and the tray has been made properly the teeth whitening effect should be permanent.

All of this sounds very good but are there any drawbacks? Well, the one drawback which is very minor in most cases is the possibility of a little sensitivity at the beginning of treatment. However, teeth whitening Bolton dentist Cahill Dental Care say: “Your dentist should give you some desensitising toothpaste which will get you over the worst of the discomfort.
