Opalescence instructions how long

Many of us like to start our day with a cup of coffee, eat the odd curry, and when it comes to enjoying a drink with friends later in the day, order a glass of rioja. Unfortunately, over time our tooth enamel absorbs these colours and teeth start to look a little stained.

Before undergoing Opalescence tooth whitening our dentist at MyDental West Ryde will examine your mouth, teeth, and gums. You should also be aware that only your natural teeth will respond to teeth whitening and any crowns, veneers, or bridges will remain the same. Our dentist also recommends that for the best results your teeth are clean and free from plaque.

So why is this? Having a professional clean before a teeth whitening appointment makes it easier for our dentist to whiten all the surfaces of your teeth. Not only are trapped food particles released during a clean and scale but any hardened plaque can also be gently scraped away.

Starting with a clean slate, as it were, helps maximise the results of teeth whitening, giving you even results across all of your teeth. Some additional restorations may need to be addressed if they are in the front of your mouth.

It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching. Patient Instructions Brush and floss teeth before whitening.

Remove tip off syringe. Place a thin line of bleaching along the base of the reservoirs n the whitening tray. DO NOT overfill the tray! Insert the whitening tray in the mouth over the teeth. Wipe the excess material from the gums with a tissue or a dry cloth.

Wear the trays for 1 to 2 hours twice a day for up to 14 consecutive days. If doing a touch up, only up to 3 days may be needed DO NOT eat or drink anything while wearing the trays. Dispensed only by a licensed dental professional, Opalescence take-home whitening gel allows you to get professional whitening results at your convenience in a safe, effective, and customized way!

Express one continuous bead of gel approximately halfway up the facial side of the tray from molar to molar. Insert the tray in your mouth and lightly tap it to adapt the sides to your teeth.

Wear time depends on which concentration of Opalescence you use. Remove tray and use a finger or soft toothbrush to clean any excess gel off your teeth. Rinse your mouth twice being sure not to swallow rinsed gel. The sticky, viscous gel won't leak out of the tray onto your gums, and Opalescence gels include potassium nitrate and fluoride PF. Findings have confirmed that the potassium nitrate and fluoride actually help to reduce cavities, minimize sensitivity, increase enamel hardness, and improve the overall health of your teeth.
