If you are thinking of lightening or whitening your teeth, these recommendations for teeth whitening with LED light  will help you get the best results for longer.

Check the teeth whitening reviews in our patient testimonials section.

Get the best results of a LED tooth whitening following our treatment recommendations:

1. Dental cleaning and whitening

It is recommended that your dentist perform a dental cleaning before bleaching.

This will eliminate an important part of the discolorations and bacterial plaque.

Your dentist will check your teeth and gums to see if it is appropriate to perform tooth whitening with LED light .

 

2. Whitening performed by a specialist dentist

The whitening treatment must be carried out by dentists specialized in aesthetic dental treatments .

It is very important to protect the mucous membranes of your mouth with a gingival protector. We must avoid that it can produce burns due to the peroxide of the bleaching gel. Your dentist will place an open mouth so that the mucous membranes are completely isolated.

During the three sessions of teeth whitening in our clinic you have to protect your eyes that should be isolated by means of protective glasses for LED teeth whitening.

3. Quality bleaching gel and guarantee

As it is announced by the COEM - Official College of Stomatologists of Madrid- , there may be risks and side effects of whitening  if it is not done by a professional with the right product and the right dental equipment.

If the treatment is not done correctly, it can cause gum problems or sensitivity after teeth whitening .

The whitening gels that are applied on the outside of the tooth are based on the application of two types of chemical agents: hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide .

Teeth whitening products with cold light use a concentration ≤ 0.1% hydrogen peroxide can be used in domestic use.

In concentrations> 0.1%, only a dentist can apply them since using these products in an inappropriate way can produce side effects of tooth whitening, such as burns and excessive sensitivity.

The whitening system we perform in our dental clinic is the Norblanc Office bleaching gel from Normon Laboratories . Laboratory of recognized prestige among dental whitening products.

The most practical accelerator is a LED tooth whitening lamp that emits a blue light for the activation of hydrogen peroxide and accelerates the entire bleaching process.

4. Avoid coloring in foods and beverages

During the time that whitening lasts we must follow a white diet . Avoid taking any kind of natural coloring  (tomatoes, lettuce, colored fruit, chocolate, coffee or tea) or artificial colors (sweetened drinks with color like Coca-Cola or fanta).

The days in which the teeth whitening sessions are performed , the enamel pores open up and are more receptive to being colored by the coloring of the foods we eat each day.

If you are doing a teethwhitening you should not take food and drinks that contain dyes of any kind.

The white diet or not being able to smoke during tooth whitening are the most common reasons why some of our patients decide not to undergo aesthetic treatment.

5. No smoking after a teeth whitening

If you are a smoker and want to perform a teeth whitening you have to take into account that you will not be able to smoke while the treatment lasts.

Tobacco, in addition to seriously harming health, dyes  yellow teeth by tobacco , making them look darker.

During the time of whitening your teeth are more prone to dying, therefore if you smoke during the treatment it will be very harmful.

Some tobacco stains on the teeth can be removed with dental polishes. However, sometimes it is necessary to perform an internal tooth whitening in addition to other preservation treatments for the bad of tobacco smoke for our teeth and gums.

6. Toothpaste and colutorios without color

You should not use colored mouthwash or dentifrices during tooth whitening because they contain artificial extracts and dyes. In terms of tooth sensitivity, it is normal that the first days after a whitening session feel greater sensitivity in the teeth.

One of our LED tooth whitening recommendations is to use special toothpastes or toothpastes for tooth sensitivity  during tooth whitening.

This toothpaste should not have any color, because during the first days after each whitening session the tooth is more susceptible to acquire the colors that come into contact with its surface.

7. Dental hygiene for the best results

To maintain white teeth we must have good dental hygiene  and  proper tooth brushing technique after each meal. Flosses at least once a day to eliminate food debris.

Keep in mind that teeth whitening results vary from person to person and depend on the shade of the teeth before whitening.

The effects of tooth whitening can last from 2 to 3 years depending on the habits of each patient.

If you follow our recommendations of LED tooth whitening LED during the results will be more durable.

The eating and health habits of certain foods, drinks with dye, tobacco and dental hygiene will be key in terms of the duration of the treatment effect.
