As people get older their teeth often become very discoloured and stained from drinking tea or coffee and perhaps from smoking. No matter how many times someone brushes their teeth they cannot get their teeth back to the natural colour. Over the last few years dental bleaching gel has become a very popular way to whiten teeth. If the dentist feels that someone is suitable for this treatment (and not everyone is) the treatment can be done over two to three weeks. The gums will need to be protected by a rubber shield and then the whitening product applied which is usually hydrogen peroxide. The treatment is then carried on at home over the next four weeks by applying the whitening product and leaving on for up to one hour at a time. No treatment can be started before the dentist has made impressions for a mouth guard. After four weeks most people’s teeth will look so much better. Another way to whiten teeth is by laser whitening. Again the gums will be protected by a rubber shield before the whitening product is applied to the teeth. Afterwards a laser will be pointed at the teeth to activate the chemical reaction. Laser whitening is a quicker process than dental bleaching but both treatments can be very expensive. The NHS does not pay for this treatment and Dentists charges vary. After having the treatment the effects can last for up to three years provided you cut down on tea, coffee and smoking. A number of teeth whitening products are available from pharmacy online (www.apotheken-versand.info) and offline chemists, which will also help to maintain your teeth for longer periods without treatment.

Nearly everyone will have noticed how many people that now appear on the television have dazzling white teeth. Like cosmetic surgery dental bleaching can be taken too far and a good dentist will always advise someone on how to achieve the best results. No one ever has natural dazzling white teeth but opting for a lighter shade will look so much more natural. It pays to look after our teeth and most people will visit the Dentist twice a year for a check up. If any signs of decay are seen this usually means having a filling or two. Although most people dislike having fillings and cheap prothesis (flair-dent.de) treatments are available, early detection and dillings are far better than losing ypur teeth. Years ago people often had to wear false teeth by the time they were forty. Today with good dental care people can keep all their teeth well into old age.
