The Gum Whitening Process

Many people are unaware of the fact that there are two different types of�process of�gum whitening in�Dubai�that are�available in today's market. There is the traditional cold light gum whitening technology and then there is the hot process, also known as laser gum�whitening technology. While the latter may seem to be a more convenient option, it is not necessarily better for you in the long run. In order to understand this, you must first understand how the cold light procedure works. The laser procedure works by applying a very intense beam of light directly onto the tooth's surface which damages the surface of the tooth in the process.
This laser treatment�offered through�laser dentistry in�Dubai�is done with the help of a special control power source. The control power is emitted from a device known as photodiodes. Once the photodiodes are triggered, it will automatically move the rays of light on the target area, causing a chemical reaction which in turn removes the stains from the patient's gums. However, this type of procedure can take several hours to perform depending on the severity of the stain. The amount of time taken also depends on the strength of the staining agent.
On the other hand, the hot method has been designed especially for home use. It uses a gel that contains active ingredients that include hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. This gel is applied over the tooth and gum and after a few moments, a white flash of the gel is emitted which effectively remove the discoloration in a short period of time.
However, this type of procedure also has its own disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the application process is a bit messy. You will have to keep your mouth moist during the whole procedure, which can be quite painful. Moreover, the use of the control power can be a bit dangerous as it can cause burns and ulcerations at the gum line and the teeth surface. In order to prevent these kinds of side effects, you must use the control power only under the supervision of your dentist.
The second disadvantage of using the cold laser procedure is that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the whitening gel needed to achieve the white color is too low. As a result, the patient may experience some burning sensation as the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide in the gel is too low. If you are not comfortable in doing the treatment by yourself, you can always consult your dentist about the correct concentrations of the components.
