Post topic: In-office tooth whitening		  
A dental office procedure for [URL=http://www.rajkrishnan.com/]Teeth whitening[/URL] involves the basic steps of: (1) heating a specially-prepared patient dentition impression to a temperature in the range of approximately from 110° F. to 130° F.; (2) coating the heated patient dentition impression at impression surfaces corresponding the surfaces of the patient teeth to be whitened with a tooth whitening agent; (3) properly placing the heated and coated patient dentition impression in the patient\'s mouth; and (4) retaining the so-placed patient dentition impression in position at least for a total period of time in the range of approximately from 5 to 20 minutes. The procedure can be adapted to microwave heating, electrical resistance heating, and hot fluid heating of the patient dentition impression.

A dental tooth whitening material sets to a rubber-like or elastomeric yet fluid consistency. The material includes hydrogen peroxide. A method of whitening teeth employs such a material by placing it into a dental tray or by placing the material directly onto a tooth. Once the material has set to its solid or semi-solid yet fluid consistency, the dental tray, if employed, can be left in place or removed.

I want to do that so bad, but it is relatively expensive. Any one had experience and if so how did the procedure work? How well does it last?

thanks for the information

The procedure done in the dentist office is too expensive for me, too, Sissy. Has anybody tried any over-the-counter whitening kits? If so, did they work? Were you satisfied with the results?

They say that the over the counter works as well, just not as fast. The only problem that I experienced was it made my teeth too sensitive.

Sissy, thanks for the info. One of my neighbors had the same problem with sensitivity. And I've heard that if you have a cavity you don't know about, the tooth whitener really makes it hurt.

On a recent out of town visit I ran across a teeth whitening setup in a mall. It is a 15 min procedure and is guaranteed to change the shade by 2. Does anyone have any experience with this procedure? Does it work?
