Wanting whiter teeth is nothing new. White teeth have signified health for many years despite not being inherently unhealthy with stained teeth. However, while the science behind Minneapolis teeth whitening treatments has mostly stayed the same, there is still a lot of mystery about professional teeth whitening treatments.

 

Not Everyone Is A Fit

 

Sadly, only some are good candidates for teeth whitening treatments. The formulas and methods used to make specific individuals a poor fit. It's best to get a personal consultation with your dentist before you schedule any sort of whitening treatment. Sometimes you might not even require an exam to know if you are a good candidate for it. A teeth whitening treatment is likely not ideal if your gums are in bad shape. It could irritate the area of your tooth that's exposed from having your gums receded or pulled away. Also, if you have any tooth decay, you would only be a good fit once you've had that area treated. Also, any color of crowns or implants and some stains on your teeth cannot be whitened. It's best to discuss your options with your dentist. They can tell you whether or not you could see satisfactory results from a whitening treatment.

 

It Could Be Somewhat Painful

 

Unfortunately, teeth whitening treatments can cause some pain and irritation even if you have healthy teeth. When you get teeth whitening, your teeth could become sore. It can result in internal dryness, and it can lead to discomfort. The time of the treatment and the strength of the treatment are the biggest variables that determine the pain level. It also depends on how porous your teeth are. If you use fluoride toothpaste, the pores of your teeth should be adequately filled. If you do have a teeth whitening appointment approaching, it's a good idea to use desensitizing toothpaste. This can help to mitigate some of the effects of the treatment. After treatment, your teeth are likely to get more and more sensitive to extreme temperatures. The treatment may also irritate your gums for a period. If you get side effects that don't disappear after a couple of days, you can contact your dentist to discuss them. If you do get very sore teeth from at-home products, you'll want to discontinue use and contact your dentist right away.

 

To avoid harming your gums and teeth, it's best to follow the instructions given by the dentist. If you are using at-home whitening products, you need to follow the instructions and you can even ask your dentist if they have specific recommendations for it.

 

You can use too much whitening product. That's why it's always best to follow the instructions. Do not continue to use whitening products if they are causing a lot of pain and irritation. Also, please don't use it longer than the instructions dictate. Using it too much can damage your teeth's enamel. You don't want to wear down your teeth's enamel because that's going to be detrimental to your whitening efforts.

 

Keep Your Teeth White

 

If you did get a teeth whitening treatment done recently, your teeth are going to be more susceptible to staining for a period. Because of this, you'll want to try to avoid anything that is known to cause staining. This includes coffee, tea, red wine, and even smoking. You will find that your teeth will generally return to the norm after some time. However, if you stay away from foods and beverages that cause stains, you can typically keep your teeth white for several years.
