Dental health is essential and plays a part in general health. While brushing and flossing daily helps eliminate dirt and food particles on and between teeth, they might eventually get stained or discolored.
Experts recommend getting professional teeth whitening at least once a year to keep a bright and healthy smile. As technology changes, there are numerous improvements in the dental field and several ways to whiten teeth.
Guided Light Optics, also known as GLO, is one of the technologies used to get whiter teeth within a shorter time and with no zingers.
This FDA-approved method involves a thick hydrogen peroxide gel that the dentist applies on the GLO mouthpiece. They then insert it in the patient’s mouth over the teeth.
The mouthpiece has special LED lights and heat resistors that glow and release heat to strengthen the hydrogen peroxide solution and speed up the whitening process. This makes the process faster than the traditional process and reduces sensitivity, making it suitable for more patients.
While people can visit the dentist’s office for the whitening process, they can get the at-home GLO whitening kit to use at home in between dental visits. This helps maintain the results even after consuming things like soda, coffee, and tea, which are known for teeth discoloration.
Experts encourage people to research and learn how to use the kit properly before taking it home. Also, while it sounds easy and gentle, overusing it could result in side effects. Therefore, it is recommended to use it after approximately three to four months.
