Have you heard of laser teeth whitening and wondered if it’s right for you? Read more about the process to decide if it’s something you want to try.
Laser teeth whitening is a process that involves several hours in the dental chair. The process can be done in a single session and it does not result in a lot of pain like other dental procedures.
The first step of the process is the gums and tongue are covered in beeswax to make sure they’re not damaged by the laser. The dentist will apply a whitening gel. The dentist will then point the laser at the teeth and the light will remove the yellow stains on the teeth. Once the process is complete, the dentist will give his patient a fluoride treatment. This will help strengthen the teeth.
How long the effects last depends on how well the person takes care of her teeth. Your dentist should give you a list of foods that can cause staining such as red wine and cola drinks.
