Northbrook, Illinois - Many people visit a Northbrook dentist with questions about whitening their teeth. It is important to know that not all whitening gels are the same and Dr. Steven Kacel has posted a new blog that he hopes will help his readers choose the right whitening gel for their needs.
Dr. Kacel notes that there are two main active ingredients in whitening gels, hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide and each active ingredient has its benefits. A key point he makes in the article is that carbamide peroxide slowly breaks down into hydrogen peroxide, making it more of a time-release gel. This makes it better for patients looking to keep the gel on overnight, or for extended periods of time.
The dentist in Northbrook, IL explains that knowing when and where one will wear the whitening trays will have the biggest impact on the choice of whitening gel. His blog also mentions which brands have certain benefits based on strength of concentrate and how they can affect sensitive teeth.
In the post, Dr. Kacel is quick to explain that everyone should talk to their dentist before beginning a whitening program. He claims patients who have sensitive teeth or cavities are generally advised by their dentist to wait until their teeth have been fixed before beginning a whitening treatment and the gel has been known to cause pain to sensitive teeth or those with cavities.
For answers to other questions about tooth whitening or about oral hygiene in general, reach out to Steven Kacel, D.D.S., M.A.G.D., F.A.D.I. and his friendly staff at his Northbrook dental office who will happily answer any questions one may have.
