In Office Teeth Whitening Without Light Assistance

 

In Office Teeth Whitening Not Requiring Light Activation       Go Back

By Dr Lawrence Spindel, Monday November 16, 2008

 

Some patients are on medications that may make them photosensitive and the Zoom Whitening system advises against them using a light assisted bleaching system.  This doesn’t rule out In Office rapid whitening for these patients.

 

We have used a number of in office whitening systems that do not require light activation.  Most recently we having using Nupro White Gold In-Office Tooth Whitening System with great success.  It seems as effective as the Zoom Whitening System and it does not require any light assistance! The set up is simpler and I have found that it requires about 15 minutes less time.

Cosmetic Dentistry Tip: Brushing alone is usually not enough to ensure that a person won’t develop periodontal disease. Since 40% of a tooth’s surface is not reachable by tooth brushing, some sort of interproximal cleaning device should be used on a regular basis. Floss, Stimudents and small interproximal brushe , and all work well. It doesn’t matter as much which method is chosen, but what counts is that one of these is effectively used on a regular basis. Regular and frequent professional cleaning at the dentist also help, since they remove any accumulations of plaque and tarter that have been missed by a patient by their daily homecare regime. Also a patients home care can be checked at frequent cleaning visits and the hygienist will encourage them to do better. Human nature being what it is, patients often perform their best home care immediately before and after their checkups. .
