TOBACCO AND TOOTH WHITENING
Posted by craft smile on October 10th, 2019
More than ever people are looking for teeth whitening options to have a whiter and brighter smile and improve overall appearance. You in conjunction with your dentist should evaluate the current appearance of your teeth and then choose the right option for you.
There are two types of stains that can occur on teeth. The first is the intrinsic stain, that is, the one that develops inside the tooth. Intrinsic stains may result from antibiotic use during tooth formation, either in utero or during childhood, and exposure to excessive fluoride as a child. Extrinsic stains are caused by beverages such as tea and coffee, aging, the development of plaque and tartar, and the use of tobacco.
Tobacco use includes cigarettes and chewing tobacco. Cigarettes and chewing tobacco contain many carcinogens that can lead to serious illnesses (mouth and pharynx cancer, lung cancer, changes in cheek and gum tissue) in the mouth. The consequence of tobacco use is tooth stains and plaque and tartar buildup.
There are many aspects to consider when you want to whiten your teeth. Do you intend to do the whitening at home? Or do you want to do it in the office with the help of a professional? Before you decide, it is a good idea to consult a dentist as he can determine the type of stains on your teeth and help you choose the best treatment option for you.
The options are as follows:
1. Whitening at home - There are several options for this type of whitening. You can choose from toothpaste that gives whitening effect by removing extrinsic stains, tape, gel or other whitening products. If you are considering using a whitening tray, your dentist can take the mold out of your teeth and then help you choose a whitening kit. The cost of home whitening is lower than in-office whitening.
2. In-Office Whitening - This form of whitening may require one to three visits to the dentist in dhantoli, depending on the procedure chosen. It is more expensive than whitening with commercial products purchased at retail.
The best option according to experts is to reconcile the office whitening with the home, for having better long term results.
Whatever your choice, think about the options and your stance regarding the whitening process. If your decision is for real, you will do everything to eliminate the minor obstacles involved in the decision making process.
