How Does Laser Tooth Whitening Work?

We all want to have a gorgeous white smile, which don't. But how do we achieve that if our teeth are already brown or yellow. Laser Tooth Whitening may be the answer for you.

Laser tooth whitening is taking the world by storm and can be done in a few different ways. You can either go to the dentist office or do the procedure at home; going to the dentist is generally the easiest and fastest.

Most people that go into the dentist office pay find the procedure a little expensive but say that the outcome is well worth the investment. The Laser tooth whitening is different from other laser jobs in that it can achieve its goals in one or two visits.

A con to having laser whitening done is if you are a regular cola drinker, coffee drinker or a smoker the bacteria and ingredients in these products will sit back onto your teeth and in return stain them back to a brownish yellow color. So even if you have the procedure done the key to keeping it is to take care of your teeth which mean brushing on a regular basis. It is one of the best teeth whitener methods, but proper maintinance is always a must.

You may ask how it works. The dentist will place a gel, cream or bleach onto your teeth and let it sit for a minute or two. Then he will use the laser as a vibrator or pulsates which will allow the gel or bleach to break down and go into the pores of your enamel therefore producing a whiter healthier smile.

A few of the disadvantages of laser tooth whitening is gum or mouth irritation but this occurrence is so rare that these disadvantages over power all of the pros. This dentist visit generally can be done in such a short amount of time that most people get it done during lunch hour or even before work then they go straight onto to a normal day.
