Bright white teeth are very trendy. They suggest health to the people we are talking to. Symbolically, bright white teeth represent prosperity. But whitening your teeth yourself also carries enormous risks and has side effects. Daily care is significantly less with our high-quality emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush. Side effects are not uncommon when using tooth whitening products yourself.
Bleaching agents that are used in combination with the splint bleaching method are particularly popular. A splint that is adapted to the dental arch is filled with the bleaching agent and pushed over the teeth. The splint is attached with adhesive strips. Although the effectiveness has been clinically confirmed, self-treatment still has numerous side effects. The most common side effects of self-treatment include hypersensitivity, cracked enamel, rough tooth surfaces and softening of the tooth enamel.
Bleaching agents for teeth whitening have many side effects
The bleaching agent can also soften existing tooth fillings, such as composite fillings made of plastic, and thus make them more susceptible to tooth decay. Composite fillings or fillings made of glass ionomer cement can even be completely destroyed by bleaching. Even subsequent polishing does not adequately protect the tooth surfaces from softening. Tooth surfaces damaged by bleaching can hardly be hardened again afterwards. Another aspect that speaks against chemical tooth whitening is the fact that artificial dentures and existing tooth fillings do not become lighter. Plastics containing methacrylate, which are used to make temporary dentures, for example, can even turn yellow when bleached.
Power bleaching as a real alternative to tooth whitening with bleach?
Advertised in numerous journals and magazines, this form of tooth whitening is currently very popular. The whitening process is driven forward using UV light, laser or heat. However, this form of artificial tooth whitening also has numerous side effects. Part of the light is absorbed by the so-called bleaching cone. The light is converted into heat. The heat promotes the whitening process. However, it also means that certain peroxides from the bleaching agent can penetrate into the tooth nerve (pulp). In the worst case, the nerve even heats up. This can cause irreparable damage to the nerve. The tooth whitening effect of power bleaching is not significantly better than tooth whitening with conventional bleaching agents, but the side effects and the risk of tooth sensitivity are significantly increased.
Recommendations for natural teeth whitening
The best way to whiten teeth naturally is daily, but more importantly, conscious dental care. And ideal dental care begins with daily brushing. Any form of artificial tooth whitening requires an indication, a dental recommendation and implementation.
