LED Teeth Whitening
-
LED Teeth Whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a light-emitting diode (LED) to activate a whitening gel applied to the teeth.
The whitening gels we use at the salon do not contain peroxide and they are alternatives to traditional peroxide-based whitening products. Since they do not contain peroxide, they may be considered a milder option for those with sensitive teeth.
Keep in mind that results vary from person to person, and maintaining good oral hygiene is key to prolonging the effects of teeth whitening. You may need a few treatments to see optimal results.

After teeth whitening, there are a few things you should avoid to maintain the results and prevent any potential discomfort:
1. For the first 24-48 hours, avoid consuming food and drinks that are acidic, too hot or too cold as it may cause sensitivity to your teeth. Coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries are examples of foods that will stain your teeth and should be avoided. You should use a straw for your beverages to minimize contact with your teeth.
2. Avoid smoking and using other tobacco products, as they can quickly stain newly whitened teeth.
3. Brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth clean. Using a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth may reduce post-whitening sensitivity.
4. Consider using a gentle and alcohol-free mouthwash. -

Teeth whitening isn’t advisable for children under 16 because their tooth pulp is enlarged until that age, and the whitening process might lead to pulp irritation, causing sensitivity. Pregnant or lactating women should also avoid teeth whitening.
If you have sensitive teeth/gums, receding gums, or dental issues, it’s crucial to consult your dentist before undergoing any whitening treatment. If you have decay or worn enamel, whitening could result in sensitivity.
Additionally, those with crowns, veneers and braces are not suitable candidates for teeth whitening treatments.
Teeth that have yellowed with age can not be whitened as well. The enamel becomes thinner due to wear and tear, revealing the underlying layer of tooth structure called dentin.
Dentin is naturally yellowish and cannot be lightened with teeth whitening products.
