Teeth whitening in Panama
If your teeth look yellow and unsightly, dental whitening in Panama is a great solution to restore the shine to your smile.
What is tooth whitening?
Whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure whose main objective is to eliminate dental stains and obtain a lighter shade of your teeth.
To apply this type of procedure, you must trust the experience of the best dental professionals, who work with advanced techniques and use quality products to achieve the best results.
Types of teeth whitening
Before carrying out teeth whitening, the specialist must carry out a review and select the technique that best suits each patient. Among these techniques, the following stand out:
Ambulatory or home dental whitening
In the first place, it is a modality that provides comfort to the patient, getting the treatment home quickly.
It consists of applying the concentration of 10% carbamide peroxide, using a previously manufactured splint tailored to the patient.
Teeth whitening in clinic
Similar to the previous technique, an oral examination and prophylaxis must be carried out, trying to isolate the area to avoid possible irritation of the periodontal tissues.
After this, the measurement of the dental arches is taken to make the molding of the splint and a whitening agent (35% hydrogen peroxide) is applied, activating it with an ultraviolet light source.
Dental whitening in non-vital pieces
Without a doubt, it is a slightly more invasive treatment, since it is about counteracting the color change in a devitalized tooth.
These cases are caused by the presence of bacteria inside the canal, which causes pulpal necrosis.
To do this, all bleaching agents and necrotic tissue that exist in the pulp canal must be removed, to then apply whitening agents in a controlled manner.

How to Maintain Long-Term Whitening Results?
To maintain long-term teeth whitening results, it is important to follow a strict oral hygiene routine, including brushing your teeth after every meal, flossing, and rinsing your teeth.
In addition, it is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of foods and drinks that stain teeth, including: coffee, red wine and foods with strong dyes. It is also crucial to attend regular check-ups with the orthodontist to monitor any changes in tooth color and take preventive measures if necessary.
Comparison of Whitening Methods: At Home vs. Professional
There are significant differences between home whitening treatments and professional whitening. Home treatments are usually cheaper and more convenient, but may not provide results as effective or long-lasting as professional treatments performed at the orthodontist's clinic, which eliminate yellowing of the teeth and result in white teeth.
On the other hand, professional treatments offer faster and more effective results since they use higher concentrations of whitening ingredients and are supervised by an oral health professional. However, they can be more expensive and require multiple clinic visits.
Impact of Teeth Whitening on Sensitivity and Oral Health
The impact of teeth whitening on sensitivity and oral health is an aspect that, without a doubt, must be considered. Many patients experience tooth sensitivity after undergoing whitening treatment, as whitening agents can penetrate the enamel and cause nerve irritation.
To mitigate this effect, it is advisable to use desensitizing products before and after treatment, as well as follow the orthodontist's instructions to minimize sensitivity. Additionally, we must emphasize the importance of maintaining good oral health in general, regardless of whitening treatment, through regular brushing, flossing and regular visits to the dentist to ensure a healthy and radiant smile.
