Is there someone’s attention that you want to catch? The simplest way to do so is to just smile. However, that would be clearly impossible if your teeth are basically covered with stains and plaques. Worse, this “dirt” can definitely bring down your self-confidence to an all-time low. What you need therefore is teeth whitening. What is teeth whitening? Teeth whitening is sometimes called teeth bleaching. It refers to the process of removing the stains off your teeth to reveal their whiteness or to bring back their shine or luster. Normally, the tooth whitening procedure entails the use of whiteners or chemicals that are for oxidation, such as carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. These two known teeth whiteners can get into the deeper layers of your teeth, carefully eliminating the hard-to-remove stains on your teeth. Depending on the severity of the discoloration, the teeth whitening or teeth bleaching process can last for months. Why do you need teeth whiteners? In truth, it’s more than vanity or trying to make yourself look good. Stains can actually damage the enamel of your teeth, which then serves as a protective cover of the inner layer called the dentin. You need teeth whitening products ... more »

Sometimes it seems like there is an endless variety of products when it
comes to teeth whitening. You make your way ever so slowly down the
‘oral care’ section at the pharmacy and are virtually bombarded by
teeth whitening choices: special toothpastes, bottles of polish, tubes
of sticky bleach, press-on bleaching strips, a night-time tray to wear
for two weeks. What is a well-intentioned, yellow-toothed person to do?
We’ve likely all made the decision to engage in some teeth-whitening activities at some point in our lives, but it’s probably fair to say that in the case of tooth-bleaching products, variety is the gateway to disappointment. Inevitably, attached to many of these apparent miracle whiteners is a hefty price tag, and that just won’t win out when we have no idea how to choose. Many of us, after a good half an hour of perusal, will simply pick up the cheapest available product – or possibly the second least expensive product – and head to the cash register. Let’s face it, we aren’t shelling out our hard-earned cash on something that might prove completely useless. Better to leave with a cheap tube of whitening toothpaste and hope for the best. ... more » Friday, September 18

This is a very big concern in a lot of people's minds when it comes to the many options available now when it comes to teeth whitening. Many people don't expect a whole lot in the way of long term results from all of the over the counter at home kits, but the Zoom teeth whitening process is a reasonably large undertaking so people want to know if the results will last before making that kind of financial and time commitment.
The Zoom process is performed in a dentist office and can take upwards of ninety minutes or more to complete - patients also need a preliminary visit that includes a full examination and x-rays to ensure that their teeth are prepared for the treatment. The precursory exam must reveal that the patient has no cavities and that all previously completed dental work including caps, fillings and bonding is properly sealed. Patients that do not meet these requirements will have to have the problems remedied before they are eligible to have the Zoom procedure performed.The initial results that are to be expected are quite astonishing - a potential for a change in tooth coloration by anywhere from six to ... more » Thursday, March 26
