The tooth whitening, performed by means of chemicals applied directly on the teeth, begin to popularize thanks to cheapening the price of services.< span id = "more-11919" >
But what should be seen as an alternative to let the teeth healthy and the most beautiful smile is worrying experts in dentistry of the whole Brazil.
the popularization of dental bleaching and their indiscriminate sale, directly to the consumer, can cause serious damage to the health of patients. “So it is essential that the alert is given now, while the process is still at the beginning and we can revert it through education of the population,” warns Dr. Mauro Piragibe, Director of ABO-RJ.
“the procedure must be done only by specialized professionals. It is a therapy which, when made with chemical agents, must be considered with great care, from diagnosis, choice of the correct option, doses and dosage indicated individually and also individualized treatment decisions based on scientific evidence and clinical quality “, argues Dr. Mauro.
one of the risks is that the patient buy whitening without professional guidance and apply indiscriminately, without any indication of a trained operative. “The first thought of the lay is finding that should use a large volume of bleaching to achieve faster results, and it is precisely there that begin the problems”, he comments.
the more concentrated the whitening solution and the longer the time of use, the greater the risk of side effects such as soreness, irritation of gums, damage to tooth enamel and restorations and darker prostheses that certainly will have to be replaced and charged to the user. “In children and teenagers the effects of sensitivity can be more intense because the dental pulp is greater and the enamel more permeable”, alert the specialist.
the essential to the success of the treatment is the clinical diagnosis well done and well documented and executed technically. “This diagnosis depends on a number of factors, such as patient history, age, their life habits, in addition to the clinical and radiological examinations,” concludes Dr.
