White and even teeth not only increase the chances of success, but also rejuvenate. How to make your smile white? The color of tooth enamel is influenced by the presence of tartar, improper dental treatment, the condition of the enamel itself, and many other factors.

If changes in the color of tooth enamel occurred under the influence of external factors, for example, frequent consumption of coffee or tea, smoking or the special properties of drinking water, then whiten teeth you can at the dental clinic.

In this case, the probability of damaging the enamel is minimal. This is due to the fact that before whitening the teeth are professionally cleaned and the enamel is polished. Then, within a few days, the tooth enamel is mineralized. And after that, a whitening gel is applied, which is activated by a light, ultrasound or laser source. Now you can see how serious the teeth whitening procedure is.

Many toothpastes contain an abrasive whitening agent. Using such pastes, the whitening effect is completely discredited, since the teeth lose their shine from the abrasive. An even worse effect is given by toothpastesin which the abrasive is combined with hydrogen peroxide.

When buying toothpaste, are you trying to find one that is cheaper or more expensive? Pastes are silicate and carbonate. The carbonate is based on calcium carbonate, in fact it is chalk. And they are cheaper. The chalk in the paste remains somewhat abrasive. For teeth with healthy enamel, these pastes are a good cleanser. But if your teeth are sensitive or you often whiten them in the clinic, choose a softer paste - silicate. These pastes are non-abrasive and will not damage tooth enamel.

Whitening toothpastes contain active substances that remove plaque from coffee, tea and tobacco... For example, Aquarelle toothpaste contains perophosphate, which removes pigmentation on the teeth.

The choice of toothpaste depends on the condition of the teeth and gums. Herbal toothpastes with healing properties are indicated for bleeding gums. Propolis extract provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The fresh scent of citrus is toning, while mint is soothing. Bioactive calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and silicon improve overall dental health.

The natural component xylitol prevents the development of caries and plaque. You can enumerate and enumerate the advantages of those ingredients that are in toothpastes, but it is better if we give an example of some toothpastes that are recognized by dentists around the world as the best.

Many dentists recommend pastes

Splat Russian production, suitable for very sensitive enamel. The paste prevents the formation of plaque, polishes the tooth enamel, prevents the development of caries, normalizes the pH balance of the oral cavity;

Rembrandt whitening toothpaste made in the United States is effective for smokers and coffee lovers. It helps to remove yellow-brown plaque and whiten teeth while maintaining abrasiveness according to dentist standards to preserve tooth enamel.

However, it should be understood that even the best and most expensive toothpaste will not give such a teeth whitening effect at home, which will be achieved in a dental clinic.

Whitening toothpaste must meet the following requirements:

prevent tooth decay;
effectively remove plaque;
maintain gum health;
fight off pathogenic bacteria;
to provide whitening of tooth enamel.

Abrasive whitening pastes can thin tooth enamel. The abrasiveness of the paste should correspond to the state of the enamel, which your doctor can tell you about.

The criterion for the abrasiveness of toothpastes is the RDA. If the RDA is above 100, the paste can worsen the condition of the enamel and cause tooth decay. With weakened enamel, such a toothpaste is not recommended. The optimal RDA for adults is 70-80. Pastes with an abrasive index above 100 are considered highly abrasive, below 70 - low abrasive.

If you have an increased sensitivity of enamel, you cannot use highly abrasive pastes. In these cases, it is better to use pastes with active cleansing ingredients, for example, pastes with low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

There are toothpastes in combination with low-abrasive polishing elements with active cleaning ingredients.

What must be remembered before using whitening toothpastes? The choice of toothpaste should be made based on the recommendations of the dentist, who can correctly assess the individual characteristics of the teeth and the state of the oral cavity.

Whitening pastes are not a substitute for professional whitening in the clinic.

Everything changes with age, so if you use some kind of toothpaste today, this does not mean that in 5 years it will also be useful for you. And most importantly, you cannot constantly use whitening pastes.

Do not use whitening pastes if you have:

carious lesions of the teeth;
thin sensitive enamel;
periodontal disease;

Pregnant and lactating women, as well as children, should refrain from using bleaching products.

If you wear braces or have crowns, the whitening will be uneven. Do not use a paste containing more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide!

In order not to damage the tooth enamel, the use of abrasive whitening pastes is possible for short courses.
