Hey guys if you're like me you're a bit overwhelmed by all the teeth whitening products on the market

This next sponsor however has provided me with some very interesting facts to pass on to you

Fact one teeth whitening does not whiten your teeth.

It removes the stains and restores the tooth to its natural color.

Natural color is varied per person, but for most it's an off-white or slightly yellowish undertone.

Fact two, teeth whitening does not damage teeth, but it does temporarily dehydrate.

When dehydrated, the pores in the enamel are opened and exposed.

Open pores invite acids and sugars, which, as we all know, lead to

tooth decay. Avoid or minimize acidic and sugary substances for at least 24 hours after

whitening.

Also avoid staining substances as the teeth are more susceptible to restaining during this period.

Fact three, tooth sensitivity is a result of tooth dehydration.

When the pores of the enamel are open to the teeth become dehydrated,

exposing the nerve to the elements.

As the tooth rehydrates, the sensitivity will dissipate.

To accelerate the rehydration and curb sensitivity, use a post whitening application known as

remineralization or desensitizing gel. Fact four, caps and veneers cannot be whitened because they don't have pores for the stains to latch to.

Prior to having dental work, you should whiten your teeth, restoring them to their natural color,

as the dentist will be color matching to your current shade.

Fact five, the key to teeth whitening is the delivery device.

So long as the whitening product is a peroxide-based whitener,

it will remove the stains.
