Toothpaste from the USA
Having bright white teeth is a widespread trend in the USA. There are options such as whitening toothpaste or splints to whiten teeth. In addition, there are many different toothpastes in the USA, which are not available on the market in Germany and which can whiten the teeth considerably. Many of the pastes available in the USA are not available in Germany because they damage the teeth strongly. One product which is available in the USA and which is not supposed to damage the teeth according to test reports is the purple toothpaste Popwhite.
White teeth through bleaching
Bleaching at the dentist describes the whitening of teeth by substances containing hydrogen peroxide, for example. The teeth can be whitened by 2 to 8 shades according to your wishes and needs. In general, bleaching works similar to hair bleaching at the hairdresser.
Depending on the reason for bleaching, different techniques can be used. A distinction is made between the so-called walking bleaching technique, home bleaching and office bleaching. The first technique is used for root canal treated teeth.
The dentist applies the bleaching agent into the already opened tooth. It takes a few days until the desired result is achieved. Temporarily the tooth is closed temporarily.
Home bleaching is done by means of a custom-made splint filled with bleaching agent, which the patient can wear at home for several applications. The latter technique is performed in the dental office. In general, one should refrain from using the bleaching sets available in the drugstore. The risk of tooth and soft tissue damage is very high.
