Teeth Whitening! How often do I need it?

       

Teeth whitening is one of the more desirable dental treatments that patients are actively seeking. At its core, there’s usually a bleaching material that’s mainly comprised of hydrogen peroxide. There many products in the market today that will achieve your desired results. All whitening systems can be divided into two major types: In office and Take home.
In office whitening will be done in one or more visits and usually at the dental chair. First whitening material will be added to your teeth and usually an activating agent (i.e. light source) that will trigger the reaction between your teeth and the whitening material. Take home kit includes pre-made trays that have the whitening material embedded in them. All you need to do is to place the tray in your mouth, make sure the strips are in contact with your teeth. You keep them on for 15-20 mins and then remove, rinse and brush and floss. If you don’t need immediate results, meaning you’re not going to a wedding tomorrow, then use the take home kit. It achieves a higher degree of shade difference and it’s more kind to your enamel.
