It is often said that it takes more muscles to frown
than it does to smile. Unfortunately for a number of people this increased
effort is necessary because they feel self conscious when they smile. One way
to reduce this self consciousness is by using the right Teeth Whitening Ireland
methods.
There are numerous things to choose from. Whitening
toothpaste and gum can help to an extent. However these are mainly items that
provide additional cleaning benefits between brushing teeth. While this is good
for oral health it is unlikely you will get significantly whiter teeth.
Another option is to get cosmetic dental work. This is
fantastic if you can afford it. Unfortunately this is something that people may
not be able to afford and furthermore you need to know what you are looking for
in order to find reliable people who can do the best work on you.
One option that is both affordable and effective is a
home teeth whitening kit. Recently EU legislation has come in that means people
cannot use teeth whitening kits containing peroxide at home. Therefore
companies marketing these products in Europe
have moved towards selling non peroxide alternatives.
Non peroxide teeth whitening kits work in a similar
way to their peroxide counterparts but with reduced risk of enamel damage or
increased sensitivity. A gel containing an active ingredient is applied via a
mouth tray. Over the course of a few treatments you ought to be able to clearly
see the difference.
It is easy to be cynical about this. The first thing
to emphasise is that teeth whitening is not one size fits all. The levels of
colour on teeth is shown on a distinct scale with B1 being very white teeth and
C4 being discoloured teeth often caused by old age, poor dental hygiene or
persistent smoking. Realistically teeth whitening will improve teeth by a
couple of shades so that someone with B4 teeth may get to B1 or B2 or someone
with C4 teeth may get to C1 or C2.
Some companies supply a tooth shade chart allowing you
to clearly compare and see how effective the cleaning has been. If you follow
the instructions carefully you ought to be able to do the whitening alongside
your regular oral health routine.
As stated before a good manufacturer ought to be
realistic in their claims. As well as a product that will make your teeth
whiter you also need to make sure it won’t damage your teeth in order to make
it whiter. Ideally the website ought to clearly indicate the steps the company
has taken in order to protect the teeth as well as keeping them shiny!
You
can find a number of Teeth Whitening Ireland kits available both in stores and
online. Look for companies that offer clear instructions and guidance on how to
use the kits as these will allow you to get the best results. If possible they
also ought to offer a money back guarantee to show they are confident in the
service they have to offer.
