For a clearer picture on how the process is done, the following is the listing of the step-by-step procedure of this teeth whitening procedure.
• The first step is the polishing of the teeth with the use of the pumice. The polishing action is important as this will remove the plaque and dirt found at the surface of the teeth.
• The mouth will then be isolated with the use of the gauze. This is a necessary step so that the teeth will be dry for the rest of the procedure. There will be times when the retractors will be used as well, and this is important so that your lips and tongue will not get in contact with the whitening agents incorporated in the solution.
• Next up is the addition of the barrier on the gum line. This is done so that the whitening solution will not get in contact with the gum area.
• After this is done, the teeth will then be coated with the whitening formulation, and the coating will cover the surface of the teeth. And depending on the attending dentist, the formulation may contain the hydrogen peroxide or the carbamide peroxide. Either way, it can be expected that the whitening effect can be achieved. There are some cases when light or the laser will be used. The light will act as the heating agent that will be used to activate the peroxide content in the whitening formulation. The said whitening agent or formulation will then be allowed to stay on the teeth for the next 30 to 60 minutes. Again, the longevity of the process will ultimately depend on the manufacturer of the product or the whitening formulation.
• The moment that the intended shade of white has been achieved, then the teeth will be rinsed with water. And the use of toothpaste will be recommended. This is needed so that the person will not experience sensitivity.
