Perfect Smile Tulsa's Teeth Whitening Experts Share Fun Facts

    TULSA, OK, April 30, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Tulsa cosmetic dentists at Perfect Smile Tulsa believe there is a lot of enjoyment to be had from a simple teeth whitening procedure. In this vein, they wish to share some fun facts about the process of whitening your teeth.

Your teeth can become stained by many different things. Foods, beverages and cigarette smoke can all create small particles that stick to the enamel of your teeth in a protein film layer called dental pellicle. This film is what ultimately stains your teeth, and unfortunately, it can be difficult to remove completely on your own. You need to visit your dentist regularly to keep this film from building up and deeply staining your teeth.

Abrasive toothpastes are able to clear away some of the pellicle and remove some surface stains, but they do not have the ability to remove set-in stains. In fact, once stains become a part of your tooth's dentin layer, no amount of scrubbing or brushing or surface whitening products can remove them.

Deep stains on the dentin layer can be removed through using peroxide.

"Our Tulsa teeth whitening experts at Perfect Smile Tulsa can dramatically improve the whiteness of your teeth by using either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to cause a chemical reaction within your teeth that breaks up stains, says Marianne Davis, Director of Marketing for Perfect Smile Tulsa.

Peroxide stain removal procedures are usually performed or prescribed by your dentists in Tulsa. You can either opt to have an inpatient treatment, which lasts roughly an hour and offers immediate and dramatic results, or to use a prescription at-home kit, which offers similar results over a longer duration.
