Teeth whitening with LED

Consuming a lot of foods such as sugar-rich foods, coffee, and tea, taking medicines, and poor oral health can all cause stains on the teeth. Teeth whitening by LED is a popular method to try to whiten your teeth. LED is an additional light appliance that is exposed to the whitening agents used by dentists at the dental clinic. It has also been added to at-home whitening kits for faster and more effective whitening results.
How to whiten teeth with LED light?
Before work:
The dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth. To compare the results of the whitening process, they will measure your teeth by shade. The dentist uses tools like the cheek retractor to pull your lips away from your teeth and uses gel to protect the gums.
 After that, a bleaching agent such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is placed on the teeth. Then the LED light, laser, or halo-like light is shone on the teeth. LED lights speed up the whitening process by helping to break down peroxide faster and form free radicals that whiten your teeth.
The light used in this method is blue.
Advantages and Disadvantages
First of all, you should be aware of your sensitivity to the concentration level of the bleaching agent. And know that the sensitivity varies from person to person and in each whitening system.
The biggest advantages of this method are convenience, effectiveness, and faster-achieving whiteness. This method leads to having beautiful and bright teeth, increasing self-confidence after having just a very short treatment time.
The disadvantage of this method may be its cost for some people. However, you have cheaper home options like teeth whitening strips that include an LED device.
If you drink a lot of beverages that stain your teeth (tea, coffee, etc.), though, the effects of this method may last for a shorter time.
Some other disadvantages of the teeth whitening in this way may include tooth and gum sensitivity. Dentists can manage teeth sensitivity or gum irritation when stronger peroxide formula is used.
Summary
LED lights and teeth whitening materials offer highly beautiful smiles with whiter and brighter teeth. It works well with your dentist who offers safer whitening treatment. You can find it in both home kits and professional teeth whitening. It is better to have your teeth examined by a dentist or a dental specialist, who detects other teeth problems that need attention before your whitening procedure.
