Today, Teeth Whitening has entered a new era. Gone are the ugly strips of paper that dentists used to lay across your teeth and the days of stewing your mouth with lemon and salt. Nowadays, a laser is all you need to brighten up your smile!

In this blog post, I will give you an in-depth guide on how to lighten up those dark stains while also maintaining the health of your gums.

A tooth whitening procedure can be divided into two main parts:

1. The pre-treatment phase: This covers the steps before you actually get to the laser stage. This includes other home remedies, such as chewing gum and mints, which you may already be doing already.
2. The laser teeth whitening stage: Here, you are given a brief description of the Laser Teeth Whitening that can be done in your local dental clinic or hospital.

But first, let's take a look at the potential benefits of getting teeth whitened—tooth stains aren't just unsightly, they also increase the likelihood of tooth decay!

#1 Tooth Polishing for Everyone: I'm sure that by now you know about the problems with discolored teeth and general bad oral hygiene. In fact, a study that was recently conducted by the Institute of Child Health demonstrated a correlation between tooth discolouration and poor dental hygiene. In comparison to non-whitening teeth, those with whiter teeth have 44% less instances of cavities. Furthermore, whitened teeth also protect against periodontitis, as the bacterium responsible for the condition prefers darker teeth!

Forget having to go to the dentist every time you have a cavity. Whitening your teeth with lasers can reduce painful dentist visits and generally make life more pleasant.

#2 Just Look Better: Let's face it, good oral hygiene is all about looking better. It doesn't matter if you're in a job interview or going on a date—people are always going to notice how you look, especially your mouth. Imagine how good it feels to know that people are looking at your bright, white smile instead of your yellowing teeth! There's no better way to feel confidence in yourself than to have a nice smile.

So what do you do if you want a whiter smile? Purchase some whitening strips? Or perhaps you could make a paste out of lemon and salt and scrub away those stains? Well, while both of these methods work, they also have their limitations.

For instance, even though lemon and salt is a great way to remove stains from teeth, it can also damage them. Over time, the acid in the paste could damage your tooth structure or the acids found in lemon juice could erode enamel or dentin!

So what exactly is tooth whitening and how does it work?

The process of whitening involves selectively destroying unwanted pigments on your teeth by exposing them to high-intensity beams of light. In other words, you are literally using a laser to burn away the color on your teeth!

What makes lasers ideal for Whitening Teeth is that they can reach all parts of your mouth, unlike other conventional laser methods. These previous methods often left gaps in coverage and didn't work as well on surface stains such as from smoking or drinking coffee or tea.

#3 One Treatment Lasts For Years: With teeth whitening strips, you have to keep reapplying them every few days in order to maintain your results. This is because whitening strips are a relatively weak solution; they don't have enough strength to penetrate through the deeper layers of your teeth.

As a result, you can only whiten your teeth for a short period of time. After that, you need to find another form of whitening for your teeth.

With Laser Teeth Whitening, you can do away with the constant maintenance of strips or pastes. The reason is simple—it takes a much stronger solution to whiten your teeth than what's in strips or pastes. Even then, it would still take too long for them to work on the deeper layers of your teeth.

With laser teeth whitening, you only need to invest in one treatment that will last for years. In fact, it has been shown to last up to ten years!

#4 The Treatment Is Much More Effective: Laser Teeth Whitening has two major advantages over strips and other pastes. First is that it's a much more effective method of whitening your teeth. The second is that the treatment is much faster than those found in other methods like strips or pastes.

This is due to the fact that it is a much more powerful laser than those used in other methods. It can penetrate your teeth up to ten millimeters below the surface of your gums, which ensures that your teeth are fully whitened in one go.

As a result, you can get rid of those unsightly stains without having to worry about them coming back!

#5 It's Better To Prevent Than Cure: The last reason for whitening your teeth with laser treatment is because it's better to prevent than cure.
