The field of tooth whitening has continued to develop as more and more dental practitioners have turned to cosmetic dentistry and associated aesthetic facial procedures. This new edition of an acclaimed text covers recent technical innovations, but also looks at the latest innovations in practice to treat the single tooth or lesions and white spots. The editor is extremely well placed to give expert advice on how to incorporate whitening into a full aesthetic facial practice.
This book reviews the evidence relating to the mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety/toxicity, and clinical application of tooth whitening techniques and materials. All clinical techniques are profusely illustrated step by step. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which explains how tooth whitening with peroxides works and examines the overall safety of peroxides and potential complications. The findings of clinical trials with peroxide-based materials for clinical practice are then examined, with discussion of a wide range of issues in at-home whitening and in-office whitening. The third part focuses on the techniques of enamel microabrasion and resin infiltration, which entail removal of a microscopic layer of enamel and may be used to improve tooth color either alone or in combination with peroxides. The concluding part includes a variety of informative clinical cases using combined bleaching and restorative techniques for discolored teeth. Tooth Whitening — An Evidence-Based Perspective will be of interest for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and others with an interest in the subject

Have you noticed how some people try not to show their teeth when smiling for photographs, or they cover their mouths when they smile? First impressions are important.Whether we like it or not, when someone sees us for the first time, they make important decisions and perceptions about us in the first few seconds. More often than not, the first thing people will notice is your smile. Would you rather go to a first date or attend a job interview with a set of nice and white teeth or a set of yellow and stained teeth?Our teeth get discoloured due to various reasons such as aging, staining, chemical damage, diseases or genetics. The most common reasons are usually smoking and stain-causing foods like tea and coffee.Today, cosmetic dentistry is gaining in importance and it no longer is for Hollywood stars or perfect-looking supermodels. It has become more of a necessity than before. A neat set of teeth is important, and so is the colour of your teeth.There are many ways to whiten your teeth. You can go to a dentist to have your teeth professionally whitened in just one or two visits, but that will probably cost you at least $500 depending on the condition of your teeth while those involving laser treatments will cost you at least $1000. Alternatively, you can try at home teeth whitening treatments which should not cost you more than $50-100. However, the concentration of the bleaching gel is milder than those used by dentists. Therefore, home whitening products will typically take a slightly longer time to show full results.An important thing note is that teeth whitening procedures are only for natural teeth and whitened teeth do not last forever. Yes, even if you have spent hundreds to whiten your teeth at the dentist, the results are not permanent. Typically it can last for about 3 years, but the duration varies from person to person depending on whether your teeth are in contact with tobacco, alcohol or dark-coloured foods.So why do you need to pay a high price spend time waiting for your turn at the dentist, when you can do the whitening at home, using what the dentist use? Start today, and give yourself that dazzling million dollar smile
