AMDC Suggests Dental Check Ups Prior to Teeth Whitening

The dentist is Dubai advises patients to have a thorough dental check-up prior to opting for professional or over the counter teeth whitening treatment.

Today, many individuals are opting for tooth-whitening procedures to reverse the effects of aging and abuse from food and beverage stains as well as tobacco. Patients who are considering choosing to have their teeth whitened should always have a complete and comprehensive dental check up initially to make sure the teeth and gums are healthy, according to the dentists at the American Dental Center in Dubai. Having white teeth does not necessarily mean that an individual has healthy teeth.

The dental surgeon in Dubai, says that the team at the American Dental Center are trained  and experienced to diagnose and treat oral health conditions. In addition, the team can evaluate certain factors that may determine whether teeth whitening is the best option for the patient in terms of comfort and whether the patient will have the desired outcome.

Teeth can become stained and discolored for a plethora of reasons. One such stain is caused by traumatic injuries, medications and fluorosis, which actually starts inside the tooth and brushing, and flossing does not help remove the stains. Other types of stains include the ones that are caused by external factors such as foods, colored or dark beverages or smoking.

There are various types of teeth whitening toothpastes or agents in the market that can brighten teeth, but they are only effective on certain types of stains. For instance, bleaching agents can be harmful to sensitive teeth and will not always remove brownish or grayish stains" explained the dentist. These types of over-the-counter teeth whitening products are not as effective for badly stained and discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-colored fillings. A professional whitening performed at the dental clinic in Dubai is often the most effective and safest type of teeth whitening which can last up to almost 16 months.
