How Tooth Whitening Works
A Dental Focus on Achieving a Brighter Smile |
Tooth whitening gels contain peroxide(s) that will actually whiten tooth enamel. Whitening gels are typically placed in custom-made trays and worn on the teeth for a short period of time, depending on the concentration. Chairside whitening at your dentist’s office is another, more instant, whitening method. In this method, dentists typically apply a whitening gel on the teeth and a protective shield on the gums. Then a special light or laser is used to enhance the whitening agent. Some minor sensitivity may occur. Consult your dentist for a personalized whitening solution for you.
