Teeth Bleaching Gel - How To Apply It Properly

Whether by a professional or at home, thousands of people get their teeth bleached each month. Community dentist sell products that can be used all through the day or over night. When using different teeth whitening products or a certain type of teeth bleaching gel, take care to be knowledgeable of the active ingredients and side effects. Although professional bleaches typically use the same whitening chemicals, each varies in their success of whitening teeth and in the degree of sensitivity.

There are a few products that use Glycerin as a base. Glycerin is the chemical within the teeth bleaching gel, that causes the solution to be thick instead of runny. The drying agent found within Glycerin is what causes the sensitivity in your teeth. This sensitivity is only temporary and ceases when discontinuing the use of the teeth bleaching gel product. Some manufacture add Fluoride to their whitening gels, to re-mineralize your teeth from the effects of the Glycerin. Potassium nitrate is also introduced to soothe the nerves of the tooth. The only side effects is that Fluoride slows down the whitening process.

A few tips that may possibly help when using a teeth bleaching gel is to only place a small dab of the gel on the tray. Don't overwhelm your mouth with the solution. Prior brushing and flossing will help the gel to whiten your teeth better. When inserting your whitening tray, firmly adjust the tray against your teeth. Make sure to recap the syringe for future use. The syringe containing the teeth bleaching gel should last you up to 6 treatments.

Wipe off the excess gel, preventing it from oozing onto your gums. To do this, press on the tray with one hand and wipe the excess gel off of your gums with a tissue. Depending on which teeth bleaching gel system you decide to use, let the tray sit on your teeth for 4 or more hours. If you are using a hydrogen peroxide whitener, 30 - 60 minutes 2-3 times a day.

It may be wise to not only rinse your mouth out when removing the tray but to also brush your teeth free of the remaining gel. Clean your whitening tray with a toothbrush and cold water, and return it to its tray holder for proper storage. Various professionals who market different teeth bleaching gel systems, are so confident that you will be happy with their product that the major of them offer you a 100% money make guarantee. These manufactures ensure you a whiter, brighter smile up to 8 shades or more.

The biggest difference between the teeth bleaching gel products lies in the strength of the gel that is used, and how well the it clings to your teeth. Certain gel strips do in fact stick to your teeth, and bond very well. However, the amount of gel contained on the strips is very small and not powerful enough to show any sufficient improvement results. It may take many applications of most over-the-counter gel strips to even show the results that you expect.
