The Importance of Professional Teeth Whitening: Why Dental Clinics Are the Ideal Choice
Regarding teeth whitening, it is crucial to prioritize your oral health and seek professional treatment from dental clinics rather than salons or non-dental establishments.
Dental clinics have the expertise, knowledge, and advanced technologies to ensure safe and effective teeth whitening procedures.
Trained dental professionals can accurately assess your dental condition, identify any underlying issues, and provide tailored treatment plans that cater to your unique demands.
On the other hand, salons and non-dental clinics may lack the necessary expertise and understanding of dental anatomy, potentially leading to subpar results or even harm to your teeth and gums.
By selecting a reputable dental clinic, you can experience peace of mind, knowing that skilled professionals will treat your teeth whitening in a professional and regulated environment. They prioritize your oral health and safety with the utmost care and attention.
Dental professionals prioritize your overall dental well-being, ensuring your smile receives the best care it deserves.
Discover the Process: Teeth Whitening That Makes Your Smile Shine
Before starting the treatment, the dentist performs a Dental Cleaning a Polishing. This cleaning helps remove plaque, stains, and a thin film on the tooth’s outer layer, allowing the bleaching gel to work better.
•To ensure the patient’s comfort, we apply a small amount of Vaseline or gum ointment to their lips, preventing dryness during the treatment. Next, we use a mouth retractor to keep the patient’s mouth open.
•We place a protective gum barrier (gum dam or gingival barrier) to shield the soft tissues from the bleaching agent.
•Next, the dentist carefully applies the bleaching gel to the teeth. During the teeth whitening treatment, we carefully instruct the patient to notify us if they experience any sensitivity or a burning sensation on their gums. This patient’s prompt will allow us to address any issues with the protective barrier. If necessary, we may need to pause or stop the treatment.
•We utilize a special laser machine to activate the bleaching material, enhancing the teeth whitening and making the teeth visibly whiter. Each cycle of the laser treatment lasts approximately 15 minutes. The teeth undergo a noticeable lightening effect within just a couple of cycles.
•Teeth whitening can be done from 1 to 3 cycles per visit, depending on the patient’s needs.

Home Care Tips Following Teeth Whitening Procedure
To ensure your smile remains dazzling, following proper home care is essential. Below are valuable tips for maintaining whiteness and reducing sensitivity after the procedure.
Combat Sensitivity
It’s common to experience sensitivity to cold air and fluids after teeth whitening. You can take Paracetamol or Mefenamic Acid 500 mg every 6 hours for 24 hours or as needed to alleviate this. Brushing with anti-sensitivity toothpaste, such as Sensodyne, will also help reduce sensitivity in the following days. Furthermore, we highly recommend using a topical cream supplement that contains calcium, phosphate, and fluoride to minimize sensitivity.
Protect Your Smile:
During the first 24-48 hours after teeth whitening, it’s important to avoid smoking. Additionally, for the initial 24-36 hours, steer clear of colorants that could stain a white shirt. These include red wine, dark colas, coffee, teas, and soya sauces. By avoiding these substances, you’ll safeguard the brightness of your smile.
By incorporating these helpful tips for teeth whitening home care into your routine, you can maintain the radiance of your smile for a long time. Avoid smoking and colorants immediately after the procedure, combat sensitivity with appropriate pain relievers and toothpaste, and consider using a topical cream supplement. Your radiant smile will shine brightly with consistent care, filling your days with confidence and joy.
◉Once we complete the treatment, we rinse the teeth, remove the gum barrier, and inform the patient about potential sensitivity. We may prescribe an anti-sensitivity toothpaste to address any discomfort if sensitivity is anticipated.
◉Patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity between appointments. Still, there have been no reported long-term adverse effects on tooth health when performing teeth bleaching on teeth that are otherwise healthy.

Maintaining Teeth Whitening Results
Mindful Diet Control
To preserve teeth whitening results, you must practice careful diet control by avoiding highly pigmented substances like coffee, red sauce, and smoking. By minimizing exposure to these staining agents, you can help prolong the brightness of your smile.
Meticulous Oral Hygiene
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial for sustaining teeth whitening results. Regularly engage in practices like undergoing Oral Prophylaxis to remove superficial stains and plaque buildup. You can prevent discoloration and promote oral health by diligently caring for your teeth.
Whitening Toothpaste
Incorporate the use of whitening toothpaste into your daily oral care routine. Whitening toothpaste helps to combat surface stains and maintain the whiteness of your teeth over time. Make it a habit to brush your teeth with this specialized toothpaste to preserve your radiant smile.
Home Bleaching Trays
Consider using home bleaching trays along with a bleaching gel. These trays are worn at night, providing an effective touch-up treatment that can help maintain the whiteness of your teeth. Follow the instructions provided by your dentist to ensure safe and optimal results.
Periodic Touch-Up Treatments:
We recommend scheduling touch-up treatments every 6-12 months to keep your smile at its finest. These periodic touch-ups can help rejuvenate and refresh the brightness of your teeth, ensuring that your radiant smile lasts for an extended period.
By following these maintenance guidelines, including mindful diet control, meticulous oral hygiene, whitening toothpaste, home bleaching trays, and periodic touch-up treatments, you can preserve the results of your teeth whitening and enjoy a confident and dazzling smile for years to come.

Whitening Instructions for Home Use:
Preparation:
Carefully apply the bleaching gel onto your custom tray, ensuring not to overload it. When inserting the tray into your mouth, gently wipe away any excess gel from the edges, taking extra care to avoid leaving any gel on your gums. If your gums become irritated, you may have used too much gel in the tray
Duration and Sensitivity:
For the first application, wear the tray for 30 minutes. Gradually increase the usage to 45 minutes, twice daily, for 7 to 10 days. If sensitivity becomes uncomfortable, reduce the time and frequency of application. It’s important to note that sensitivity usually subsides after several days of use.
Essential Precautions:
Avoid rinsing your mouth during the whitening session, as it may dilute the bleaching agent. Ensure you do not swallow the whitening gel. Refrain from drinking, eating, or smoking while wearing the tray to prevent interference with the whitening process.
Post-Whitening Care:
After completing the bleaching session, remove the tray and brush your teeth. Take a gentle toothbrush and clean the tray thoroughly, rinsing it completely. Allow the tray to dry thoroughly before your next whitening session.
By diligently following these take-home whitening instructions, you can achieve a brighter smile from the comfort of your home. Remember to apply the gel carefully, gradually increase usage while monitoring sensitivity, avoid rinsing your mouth, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Unveiling the Truths and Considerations of Laser Teeth Whitening
Embark on a journey of knowledge as we explore the essential aspects and considerations of laser teeth whitening. Discover important information that will empower you to make informed decisions about this popular treatment. Let’s delve into the key points to enhance your understanding.
Essential Facts about Laser Teeth Whitening
Suitability
Laser teeth whitening may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals sensitive to light, or those taking light-sensitive medications. It is also not recommended for individuals with melanoma.
Impact on Existing Dental Work
The whitening treatment will not affect fillings, crowns, and veneers already in place and might need replacement afterward.
Addressing Dental Issues
Before whitening, treating active decay, exposed dentine, and gum disease is crucial. Failing to address these issues beforehand could cause further damage to the teeth.
Individual Results
The success of teeth whitening varies due to factors such as the initial shade of the teeth, dietary habits, personal habits, and previous whitening experiences. Teeth that are already naturally white will not whiten as significantly as darker shades
Noticeable Patches
Certain areas, such as those affected by decay, gum recession, fluorosis, tetracycline, or developmental defects, may remain noticeable during and after whitening treatments. The root surfaces of teeth will not be affected by the whitening process
Tooth Sensitivity
Smile More Dental Clinic – Manila uses non-sensitivity teeth whitening products from the U.S. However, if you feel slight sensitivity, they can happen within the first 24 hours after treatment. The dentist may prescribe sensitivity toothpaste for individuals with a history of sensitivity.
Gum/Lip/Cheek Sensations:
Laser teeth whitening should not harm your gums and lips when performed correctly using a gingival barrier and lip balm. In some cases, accidental exposure of a small area to the whitening gel may cause temporary discomfort, but it subsides within a day.
Shading Relapse:
It is natural for teeth to gradually relapse in shading after the whitening treatment. Exposure to staining agents like coffee, tea, smoking, and red wine can influence this process. You can maintain the effectiveness of the whitening result by using whitening toothpaste and home whitening kits.
Armed with these important facts, you can approach laser teeth whitening with confidence and a deeper understanding. Remember to consider Suitability, address dental issues, and be aware of individual results and potential relapse. By maintaining good oral hygiene and making smart lifestyle choices, you can enjoy the long-lasting benefits of a brighter smile.
