There are a multitude of teeth whitening products on the market and the choices can be overwhelming and daunting and we are left with the question - What is the best choice for me?
As with all health and beauty products, it is important to educate yourself about the available options and select the product which ultimately produces the best results through a natural healthy approach.
DIO Toothfoam's breakthrough ingredient NANO HAp is sourced using the remarkable composition of seashells, offering a natural, practical, healthy solution to teeth whitening. Many teeth whitening products leave your teeth appearing healthy. DIO Toothfoam ensures your teeth are healthy.
DIO Toothfoam is a revolutionary product offering a natural, effective, affordable alternative to traditional teeth whitening methods. Up until now porous tooth enamel could only be infiltrated deep down by peroxide, general toothpastes only treat the surface.
Using the power of nature, breakthrough ingredient NANO HAp is sourced from seashells and is a non-toxic bio-ceramic material in particle size that travels deep into tooth enamel. The unique molecular structure of NANO HAp is highly compatible to human bones and is absorbed naturally into the body, treating deep down stains traditionally only effectively removed through harsh, instantaneous peroxide bleaching. Finally there is a natural alternative to harsh teeth whitening without pain and without damage!
Put simply, teeth whiteners use bleaching chemicals to penetrate tooth enamel and set off an unnatural chemical oxidation reaction. Most tooth whiteners use one of two chemical agents, carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide in varying degrees to achieve white teeth, the same chemicals used to bleach hair. When applied to teeth, these chemicals damage enamel and can result in sensitive painful teeth.
Whitening Toothpaste
Teeth whitening toothpaste is an accessible, cost effective method of increasing brightness of teeth. However, these types of toothpastes simply remove stains through the use of abrasive agents, essentially damaging enamel, breaking down and weakening teeth. The active ingredients in most whitening toothpastes are fluoride and hydrated silica. These two ingredients counteract one another. Fluoride strengthens the enamel on the surface of your teeth whereas hydrated silica is an abrasive substance that grinds down the enamel layer of your teeth.
Over the Counter Whitening Treatments
Teeth whitening treatments that are sold over the counter are a popular choice for many people wishing to whiten and brighten their teeth. These options contain carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide directly applied to teeth using a gel or pen form, these can be both messy and difficult to use.
Typically these treatments are bleach based and can cause tooth as well as gum damage through the use of harsh abrasives. Enamel is broken down and destroyed causing teeth to become weak and more prone to decay. At home bleaching treatments can result in overall irregularities and variance in colour, often leaving teeth looking unnatural, artificial and embarrassingly bright.
Professional Dental Procedures
Having your teeth professionally whitened through your dentist is effective however it is also an expensive option, sometimes costing in excess of $1,000 per treatment. Retaining your white teeth post professional dental procedure is also expensive and is required to be redone every few years.
After thoroughly examining your teeth, some people are advised by their dentist for various reasons that their teeth are unsuitable for professional teeth whitening. This can be very disappointing if you are a person who is particularly self conscious about your smile, your teeth and the image they portray.
