Teeth Whitening: Home Treatments Not Without Some Risk
Before you start whitening your teeth, you must consider
that there is a small danger unless you are just using
toothpaste. Both professional and home treatment expose you to a
small risk of mouth cancer in either gums or tongue. The
dangers these days, are thankfully very small. The
biggest problem you are likely to encounter with home
treatment is quite sore teeth and gums. Just be prepared for this discomfort for about a month
due to the tooth enamel being stripped and bleached. If
you already have sensitive teeth, it may be prudent to
consult a professional before undertaking treatment. Do Brush on Teeth Whitening treatments work? Thats a
question I have been asked a couple of times recently.
From my research, it appears they work a little, but they
would probably be my least favoured whitening option. It
is the most simple method,?.just brush on..leave
overnight and instant, white teeth. Unfortunately, its not quite that simple as saliva gets
on the teeth and parts of the formula are rubbed off
leaving an uneven result. Many of the brush on products
also contain glycerin which leads to extreme sensitivity.
If I was considering a home treatment, I would tend to
favour the home teeth whitening kits that utilize a mouth
tray and a special gel. New products available allow for
the trays to be moulded to fit your teeth perfectly. Sometimes I think that you "get what you pay for", but
Home kits do whiten teeth for far less than you'd pay for
a professional treatment. Just do not expect to look in the mirror and see an
Extreme Makeover result! Two of the most common varieties
are Crest Whitestrips and Colgate Simply White. Crest
Whitestrips are nearly invisible sticky strips that are
worn twice a day, for 30 minutes at a time. Colgate
Simply White Night is a gel that is brushed onto your
teeth before bedtime. Researchers have found that both methods work, however
users often do not get the full benefits of their
whitening kits is because they stop usage before the
recommended time. So if you give either of these
whitening methods a try?stick with it. Beware of home treatments such as lemon juice.
It's an acid and can harm your teeth and may lead to cavities and irreparably damaged tooth enamel. The reason that lemon juice appears to whiten teeth is that it causes the teeth to lose calcium (which gives teeth some of their off-white color). Calcium is a major component of healthy teeth, and once it is lost, your teeth become very susceptible to decay. DO NOT use lemon juice for whitening.

Nasal surgery (Rhinoplasty Surgery), the most common form of plastic surgery practiced in America today, is a procedure that alters the framework of the nose, manipulating the bone and cartilage structure and the skin to improve the appearance of the nose. It can be used to change the overall appearance of the face from one where the focus of attention was placed on the nose to one where the attention is drawn away from the nose and towards the eyes, a more natural, pleasing occurrence. When the focus of attention is directed towards any other feature on the face other than the eyes, the face is said to be out of "harmony". Rhinoplasty surgery, when performed correctly, improves the harmony of the facial features.
