How white should the teeth be?

The owners of a dazzling smile are more likely to get a decent job. It turned out that women with beautiful teeth earn 14% more than those whose teeth are not in order. It is curious that a similar pattern was not found in men. The conclusion suggests itself: success can and should be managed. Not only the strongest, but also the attractive will win. The American Dental Association authoritatively states: chewing gums do not bleach your teeth. This is nothing more than an advertising move. However, the process of chewing gum is useful: it cleans the surface of the teeth, helps remove pigmented enamel pigments. How white should the teeth be, we asked the experts.

Purely pure

Women suffer from tooth decay more often than men! The female hormones estrogens have a negative effect on the condition of the oral cavity, less saliva secreted by women, pregnancy. Every child is a mother of a tooth - this is a popular saying. Studies have shown that women who had one child lost on average 2 teeth, and mothers of four or more children - up to five teeth. And no dependence on material wealth was identified. So a woman, as the saying goes, "written on the family" to hygiene of the oral cavity is treated with great attention. Cleaning your teeth twice a day is an indispensable condition. And which brush to choose is up to you.

Electrical

Most electric brushes are not better and not worse than traditional ones. Only one type of brushes, creating simultaneously oscillatory and rotational movements, gives the best result. Electric toothbrushes are designed to help those who simply brush with a simple brush are simply lazy.

Ultrasound

Similar toothbrushes appeared on the world market in the late 90's. Studies conducted over 12 years have proven the effectiveness of ultrasound in the fight against plaque bacteria. Compared with conventional brushes, ultrasound is twice as good at night, 2.3 times more reliable against gingivitis and 4.5 times less bleeding gums.

The taste and color

Contrary to Begbeder's "exposure", toothpaste is not just a marketing product. For complete oral care, it is simply necessary. And dentists recommend on the shelf in the bathroom to always have not one, but two tubes - with preventive and curative pastes. The first you can choose, guided only by the taste preferences and authority of the brand, the second - on the recommendation of the dentist. It should solve a specific problem (to remove inflammation, strengthen enamel, etc.). Anti-inflammatory pastes contain extracts of medicinal plants: St. John's Wort, sage, mint and green tea. They remove bleeding gums and fight with bad breath. Anti-caries contain calcium and fluoride and can effectively fight caries. It is important to remember that anti-caries toothpastes (especially those containing fluoride) are a means of prevention, not treatment. Salt pastes contain mineral salts that help strengthen the gums: they improve blood circulation and stimulate metabolic processes in tissues. Effective, but very specific to taste. Bleaching pastes contain a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. But be careful: these pastes are aggressive towards the enamel of the teeth. Therefore, it is important to use courses.

In white

The formation of tartar and the appearance of yellow plaque - alas, inevitable processes. Scaling and whitening - procedures performed by a dentist. All methods of bleaching are based on the use of hydrogen peroxide. Laser, ultrasound or photobleaching - these methods help only to reduce the concentration of peroxide, which makes the bleaching procedure more gentle.

Chemical

The basis is the effect of the chemical composition on the structure of the pigment. An individual cap is produced, which is filled with a whitening compound twice a day, and is put on the jaw for 2-2.5 hours. After such bleaching, there may be an increase in the sensitivity of the teeth on the defects of the fillings and unprotected dentin sites. Laser. On the teeth, a hydrogen peroxide gel is applied and illuminated with a directed laser beam. Bleaching occurs not only due to the action of peroxide, but also due to the ability of the laser to break down the pigments.

«Zoom»

Everything is very similar to the techniques described above: a proprietary gel based on hydrogen peroxide (only 25% of the substance) is applied to the teeth, then specially selected light from the patented lamp affects the composition.
