LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There are a variety of reasons why teeth become stained including age, a natural predisposition to discolored teeth, genetic thinness and translucency, consuming select foods and beverages, smoking cigarettes, chewing tobacco, medications, tooth grinding and trauma to the teeth. Some of these factors are controllable, while others are not. Regardless of the cause, Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Sands, has a method to get your teeth whiter for the New Year.
Zoom whitening is an in-office teeth whitening procedure that is performed in a single session. It is a painless series of steps that are performed in less than one hour. First, the dentist covers the gums to shield them from the special concentration of peroxide whitening gel. Next, that gel is applied directly to the surface of the teeth. Once all of the teeth are covered, the gel is activated by a light that was designed just for this procedure. After 15 minutes, the dentist reapplies the gel and repositions the light. This course of action is repeated for a total of three times. While this method should be enough to achieve the desired shade of white, some patients have rather obstinate stains that will necessitate a second visit.
