The great evolution of the <strong>dentistry sector<\/strong> has made it possible to improve techniques and tools, and this translates into a real benefit for our mouths. Today we want to talk about a matter of interest to many of you: <strong>Teeth whitening.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teeth whitening is an <strong>aesthetic dental treatment<\/strong> that manages to reduce various shades of the teeth, obtaining<strong> whiter and brighter teeth <\/strong>as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Next, in relation to this matter, we want to expose:<strong> The myths and truths about home teeth whitening.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Myths about teeth whitening at home<\/h2>\n<p>One of the first questions that arise at this point is\u2026 <strong>Do home teeth whitening methods work?<\/strong> The truth is that there are <strong>several myths<\/strong> that must be taken into account. Here we show you the most common:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the one hand, using<strong> baking soda<\/strong> is said to lighten tooth shade. However, we recommend that you never use it to carry out this action, as it is a very aggressive chemical compound that is harmful to the parts. The whitening effect it produces is synonymous with <strong>tooth wear<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, rubbing the teeth with a <strong>lemon peel<\/strong> is also not recommended. Lemon is an acidic fruit that only triggers enamel wear and <strong>tooth sensitivity.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Rinsing the mouth with <strong>hydrogen peroxide<\/strong> neither lightens the color of the teeth nor is it beneficial to health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activated carbon<\/strong> is very fashionable, since people are encouraged on social networks to use it in<strong> toothpaste format <\/strong>to obtain a whiter color in the teeth. The truth of this fact is that it is not effective.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strawberry and banana-based toothpastes<\/strong> do not have any harmful side effects, but they do not whiten teeth either.<\/li>\n<li>Another of the most common tips or advice corresponds to rubbing the dental surface with the inside of a It doesn&#8217;t have good results either. In addition, it is recommended that after <strong>professional teeth whitening<\/strong>, do not eat foods with a<strong> high content of carotenoids or natural dyes<\/strong>, as they can <strong>stain the enamel.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Truths about teeth whitening at home<\/h2>\n<p>As for the <strong>truths<\/strong> about teeth whitening at home, we must admit that they do not exist. It is true that a series of actions can be carried out that favor the tonality desired by all. For this reason, we are going to give you some<strong> tricks<\/strong> so that you can enjoy whiter teeth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Perform at least<strong> three daily brushings<\/strong> after each meal with a duration of around two minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Example <strong>dental floss<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Use <strong>mouthwash.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>No Smoking.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Avoid the consumption of foods with a high amount of pigments such as <strong>coffee, blackberries, wine or cocoa, among others.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Carrying out a good habit of daily<strong> oral hygiene,<\/strong> a <strong>healthy diet <\/strong>and <strong>avoiding vices such as tobacco<\/strong>, will be the most key factors to be able to enjoy whiter teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>In our clinic we perform teeth whitening<\/h2>\n<p>At<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/\"><strong> Gross Dentistas<\/strong><\/a> we are up to date on the latest innovations that are linked to <strong>dental treatments<\/strong>, whether<strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/dental-implants-malaga\/\">implants<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/orthodontics\/\">orthodontics<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/periodontics\/\">periodontics<\/a>, whitening, among others<\/strong>, to offer <strong>our clients<\/strong> the best services regarding their<strong> oral health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want <strong>more information<\/strong> about the myths and truths about home teeth whitening or about any other matter\u2026 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/appointment\/\">Contact us<\/a>!<\/strong> We will be happy to help you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, if we look around us, we can see how, more and more, people care about showing off a healthy and aesthetically perfect smile.
