DOES TOOTH WHITENING MAKE THE TOES REALLY WHITE?
Dentaly.org's answer is yes but it will also depend on people. The dentist establishes a scale of tooth shade.
After a whitening treatment, the teeth are generally whiter from 3 to 4 shades. If the teeth to be treated are in the white or yellow shades, the treatment will have a better result than if the teeth were brown or gray. These 2 shades are difficult to bleach. In addition, if the teeth are yellow due to medications such as antibiotics or a disease, it is more difficult to make them completely white but it is possible to gain some shades.
DOES THE TOOTH REMAIN WHITE LONG AFTER BLEACHING?
No bleaching technique can guarantee that the teeth will remain white for a long time and above all not eternally. Often, your teeth can remain white for up to 2 years. After this period, the teeth re-emerge again but will be still whiter than before the treatment.
You will have to repeat a treatment if you wish. A new whitening will make your teeth white as after the initial treatment! It is therefore an operation that lasts in time but must be renewed regularly.
WHAT ARE THE BLEACHING TECHNIQUES AND WHICH ARE THE BEST?
For a treatment of all teeth, there is only one technique which consists in applying a bleaching agent to the outside of the teeth. The product will penetrate the teeth and will bleach from the inside (see more info here). There are 2 methods for penetrating the bleaching product:
TOOTH-BLEACHING KIT AT HOME:
The gutter :
The first technique is to use a whitening kit (see here our complete folder on these kits) of the teeth to apply yourself. The product will penetrate by itself into the enamel. It is for us the best technique and the application is made yourself at home, a few minutes a day. In 2 to 3 weeks of daily application, the result is impeccable.
All you need is a quality bleaching product and a rubber gutter to apply the product to the teeth.
Complete kits (with product and gutter) are sold on internet around 50 € or in pharmacy around 70 € to 100 € (for the same product). You are advised to buy it online.
At Dentaly, we tested several of them. The one we preferred is this one from the brand Whitecare, the reference brand in the field.
