Among the many beauty and health routines that are becoming increasingly popular is teeth whitening. Many of us don’t have perfect teeth – this can be for many reasons rather than just poor hygiene – and decide at some point we would like gleaming white teeth like our friends. Not only does it help us look better, but it also helps us feel better in ourselves. Thee are many methods of teeth whitening including some that can be carried out at home as a DIY routine. Should you do it yourself, or should you see the specialists? We’ll cover that later on but first let’s talk about how teeth whitening works.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening is quite a simple routine and is a common one in dental care in Australia these days. The procedure involves using a soft bleach to take away any dirt or discolouration on the teeth. Because of the use of bleach, many people choose to have the procedure done by a dentist – sometimes as part of their routine dental check – although there is one kit that is proving to be both popular and effective.
This is called the Zoom! Whitening kit and while it is a home process, it does involve a dental practitioner as part of the routine. Let’s have a look at how Zoom! works and what you need to know about it before you try it.
How Does the Zoom Kit Work?
The Zoom! kit involves a dentist in the first instance. An initial consultation will advise you as to what the procedure involves and how to get the bits right that you need to do at home. They will then create a custom set of ‘trays’ that are matched to your teeth. These trays will be the receptacle for the whitening agent – a gel that goes into them – that is used to clean the teeth. The trays also protect the gums when the process is in place.
Why are people choosing the Zoom! method? The convenience of being able to perform much of the routine at home and in your own time is a major bonus. It will take between 30 and 60 minutes to complete he process. It works as follows: first you thoroughly brush your teeth then apply a prescribed amount of the gel onto each tooth. You then apply the trays as instructed by the dentist, and leave them in for the recommended time – between 30 minutes and an hour.
Once you have completed the allotted time you simply remove the trays and wash them, as they can be used many times to whiten your teeth as and when you wish. It’s a very simple process and an affordable alternative to professional teeth whitening, but which should you choose? To finish, we’ll have a look at whether or not you should use the Zoom! kit or go the professional route.
Is Zoom! for You?
The teeth whitening routine is accepted clinical practice that is carried out often by dentists, and it offers stunning results. There are many people who may require this method to get it right, but others may find the Zoom! method to be the best and most affordable route to super white teeth.
As it does involve the dentist to make the trays it is a more trustworthy method than those that leave the entire process to you, which should lend peace of mind and reassurance to users. The Zoom! Whitening kit does work as the testimony of many satisfied users confirms, but it is recommended you consult with your dental practitioner before making the decision.
