Paint On Tooth Whitening Products
For those that don?t fancy the cost or the hassle of tray based
tooth whitening products or professional tooth whitening, paint
on tooth whiteners, while not necessarily proving to be as
effect as some of their counterparts, certainly have a place in
the tooth whitening market.
Paint on tooth whitening products are unique in as much that
they don?t require tooth whitening trays and, as the name
suggests, paint on tooth whiteners are applied directly to the
teeth where the product solidifies and transforms into an
adherent film.
Unlike other tooth whitening systems, with paint on tooth
whitening products you can be selective as to which teeth you
choose to bleach.
Colgate?s Simply white (paint on tooth whitener) uses the
preferred carbamide peroxide as it?s bleaching agent rather
than the traditional hydrogen peroxide which is commonly found
in over the counter tooth whitening products. Hydrogen peroxide
is a bleaching agent not really supported by cosmetic dentists
or the dental association as it is their belief that it can?t
safely be used in sufficient quantities to deliver the desired
whitening effect.
You have a couple of options with paint on tooth whiteners. You
can either choose a tooth whitening product that is applied for
30 minutes or go for a night version such as Colgate Simply
White Night which bleaches your teeth while you sleep. It is
thought that the night versions deliver a better result but
that is probably due to the length of time that the tooth
whitening product remains on your teeth.
When using paint on tooth whitening products the general advice
is to avoid doing anything that might dislodge the product from
the surface of your teeth which will reduce the effectiveness
of the product. It seems to be a common opinion that it is more
difficult than it appears to both apply and retain the tooth
whitening product on the surface of the teeth.
Paint on tooth whitening products are easily removed simply by
brushing your teeth.
As with most tooth whitening techniques, paint on tooth
whitening products are only effective on natural teeth and will
have no impact on prosthetics such as dental crowns or veneers.
Whatever tooth whitening product you choose is down to personal
choice but there is very little comparison available between
paint on tooth whitening products and what are considered to be
the most effective tooth whitening products on the market. The
general consensus of opinion appears to remain that for the
most effective tooth whitening results go for the professional
approach such as laser tooth whitening or, if you want an
option that is less harsh on your pocket, then go for tray
based tooth whitening products using carbamide peroxide as the
bleaching agent.
