TEETH WHITENING
At Galaxy Dental Care,Padamugal,Kakkanad, Kochi, we offer top-quality Whitening materials with the use of approved bleaching agents by a dentist to break up and remove stains that can’t be eliminated through regular brushing, scaling and polishing.
Why should I see a dentist for teeth whitening?
HABITS
Due to lifestyle choices and wear and tear over time, teeth may become discoloured and yellowish. Staining and discolouration of teeth can happen to anyone but can be worsened by smoking, poor dental hygiene, and frequent consumption of highly pigmented food and drinks such as coffee, curry, and red wine.
GALAXY DENTAL CARE,KOCHI
Hydrogen Peroxide is the main ingredient in the whitening gel that produces the whitening effect. Only teeth whitening dentists are permitted by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to use products containing more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide.
SAY NO TO ONLINE PRODUCTS
Online products containing high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are not well regulated and could be harmful to the user. A dentist must prescribe products with a concentration of hydrogen peroxide above 0.1%, and concentrations greater than 6% can only be used under the supervision of a dentist.
TYPES OF WHITENING
CHAIR-SIDE WHITENING
This whitening treatment is performed under closely monitored conditions in our clinic. A highly concentrated whitening agent is used on your teeth and activated by light. The process is relatively quick. In-office professional whitening treatments typically take around one to two hours.
Take-Home Whitening
A custom-made tray will be fabricated and issued together with a set of whitening gels. You will have to wear the tray with the gel for one to two hours a day over a longer duration.
