What You Should Know About Teeth Whitening


Everyone loves a bright white smile, and there are a variety of products and procedures avail- able to help you improve the look of yours! The best place to start is with a healthy mouth.


Begin with a Dental Checkup – Your dentist can diagnose and treat any pressing oral health conditions and determine which whitening procedure will work for you. Once the dentist determines the reason for dis- coloration – injury, food or tobacco stains, childhood or teen antibiotics – a suitable

Environment – Teeth whiten- ing chemicals if not applied properly can damage your teeth and gums resulting in burns or infections, and “kiosk” whiten- ings are done by people wearing “scrubs” or laboratory coats who are made to look like “health care professionals”, but aren’t. Dental offices use licensed professionals and strict disinfection protocol including washing hands, changing exam- ination gloves and disinfecting work surfaces after each patient.


Whitening Done in a Clean and Safe

Choosing the Right Procedure – There are three ways to whiten your smile: 1)Chairside Bleaching, 2) At –Home Bleaching and 3) Whitening Toothpastes. After examina- tion, your dentist will offer you


the students to carry out innova- tive projects during the spring 2012 semester.


Teacher proposals from 14 schools were selected for their cre- ativity, clarity, impact and potential replicability of their project idea. The EEF awarded the checks in a dynamic event including an inter- active presentation about past projects, and a panel discussion by San Diego business leaders Paulette Donnellon from Technology Playground, Buster Halterman from Buster Biofuel, Brad Krietzberg from Palomar Pomerado Health, and Debra Rosen from the San Diego North Chamber of Commerce on the subject of why innovation is so important for the young students of today.

the option of either 1 or 2 because the 3rd choice, Whitening toothpastes aren’t as effective but are frequently pre- scribed as an after treatment way of maintaining your white- ness.


Chairside Bleaching - This treat- ment uses a concentrated form of peroxide and requires the application of a “rubber shield” to protect your soft tissues (lips, gums, etc.) prior to active whitening. A special light and/or laser will be used to enhance the whitening process (i.e. Zoom Whitening Systems). Chairside Bleaching has the advantage of allowing multiple applications to remove the more stubborn stains in your mouth.


At – Home Bleaching – These products are gels or strips con-

replied. 'The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem. It's these breasts you have given me. The mid- dle one pushes the other out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a real pain.'


And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more 'symmetrically balanced'.


'That's a fair point,' replied God, 'But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away.'


And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes. Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.

taining different concentrations of carbamide peroxide (10%, 16%, 22%). The gels are most effective and used with custom- fitted mouth guards which hold the gels against the teeth while during whitening. Usually they are worn overnight for 1-2 weeks. They are less concen- trated than the Chairside gels and usually don’t cause as much irritation, but the process for whitening does take longer. The percentage of gel selected depends on many factors including the type of stain being removed, the thickness of your enamel, the condition of your gums, and the “color” of your teeth just to name a few.
