With thousands of brits now having some form of teeth whitening, the whiter smile seems to be growing. But with so many options available, which ones are safe?
ALWAYS SEE YOUR DENTAL PRACTICE FOR TEETH WHITENING.
Here at Care Dental Tidworth, we offer two different systems for teeth whitening that will give you the whiter, brighter smile.
1. Enlighten
2. Pola day/night
Speak to your dentist to see which product would be suitable for you.
Enlighten
Enlighten Evolution Whitening is
a combination treatment meaning that there is a 2 week home treatment followed by a 1 hour visit to the dentist.
It works by increasing the tooth‘s permeability to oxygen which breaks down stain molecules.
Facts about Enlighten
• Enlighten Whitening can whiten up to 16 shades. Results vary, but if used correctly all teeth will whiten dramatically.
• It is completely safe. The materials used in Enlighten Whitening have been used in dentistry for over 100 years. You may get some sensitivity, however your dentist will give you easy to use desensitising swabs to take home, which will work immediately. You will also receive a tube of Tooth Serum toothpaste to brush with while you wait for your trays. This also helps with sensitivity.
• Two weeks after we deliver your Enlighten Whitening trays. These are thin and comfortable and must be worn in bed for 14
nights. Then on the 15th day you need to see your dentist for the second treatment, which takes only 40 minutes.
• Results can last indefinitely with some very simple maintenance. Wearing the trays for 1 night every other month. Continuing to brush with Tooth Serum will also prolong results.
Pola Whitening
We have been using Pola whitening for a long time in the practice and have achieved excellent results. Its is usually a 2-3 week home whitening system depending on the original tooth colour.
The large choice of concentrations enables the treatment of a wide range.
Poladay 6% hydrogen peroxide 30mins once or twice a day OR 60mins once a day
Polanight 10% carbamide peroxide between 2hrs and overnight
16% carbamide peroxide between 90mins and overnight
