Why bleaching?

Beauty begins with the teeth. A smile with white, shining teeth automatically appeals and is likeable. Dentoshop.ch offers you online various products to maintain white teeth. Bleaching products are one of the most popular oral hygiene products today. In the online store you will find various professional products with which you can whiten your teeth at home. Opalescence bleaching from Ultradent, SmilePen, Glamwhite, iWhite and Swissdent are among the most sought-after and best-selling bleaching products and bleaching gels in Switzerland and ensure white teeth. Most bleaching gels contain hydrogen peroxide in various concentrations. Up to a concentration of 6% hydrogen peroxide (this corresponds to 16% carbamide peroxide), bleaching (teeth whitening) can be performed by the patient independently at home. However, the dentist should be consulted before bleaching. Bleaching removes mainly the discoloration of the teeth embedded in the enamel. This results in whiter teeth. The discolorations deposited on the tooth surface (coffee, wine, etc.) must be removed mechanically. Small residues of coffee or cigarettes can already be removed with an eraser-like instrument "Stain Remover". And if there is too much discoloration, the dental hygienist should be consulted. But natural stains deep in the tooth cannot be removed by toothpastes. Conclusion: If you want bright and shiny white teeth - which is part of a flawless appearance today - bleaching is the right choice. The color of the tooth is lightened considerably. In addition, bleaching products can be conveniently ordered online and applied at home.

Recommendations:
Before you whiten your teeth, you should always visit your dentist. He will examine you and decide whether bleaching is advisable, and will first send you to the dental hygienist for a teeth cleaning. Without prior dental cleaning, the bleaching agent will not be able to penetrate the discoloration properly and the color from the tooth will hardly change.

Side effects:
Possible side effects of bleaching depend on the technique used. Home bleaching may cause hypersensitivity of the teeth. This symptom disappears when the therapy is interrupted. Very rarely, irritation of the gums occurs due to the bleaching agent or the tray.

Bleaching and dental health

Teeth whitening is an aesthetic measure. Current scientific research proves that teeth are not damaged by professional bleaching: They are neither more susceptible to caries, nor is tooth substance lost. Bleaching is therefore harmless for the teeth.
