Intra-channel bleaching will ensure the perfect shine of your teeth

A beautiful smile is a sign of good health. It gives strength and confidence and helps to conquer new peaks in a relationship or career.

However, sometimes you can see how the teeth appear darkening, which spoil the aesthetic appearance. In this case, you need to go to the dentist, because you do not just need to brush your teeth regularly, but also carry out a special procedure called intrachannel teeth whitening - the process of restoring the natural color of the depulled tooth.

What is the meaning of this technique?

Before the procedure, you must first visit the doctor to make an opinion about the degree of severity of the problem, the possibility of endo-bleaching and told what to do before and after the procedure.

The first visit begins with a full examination of the oral cavity, since in the case of dental diseases or inflammatory processes of the gums, it is impossible to begin work on the removal of plaque or darkening on the enamel. Then the specialist reveals the main reason for this deficiency of tooth enamel.

The next step is the direction of the X-ray, as it will help to make sure that the inflammatory process is not latent, does not flow in the roots of the tooth. The quality of the delivered seals will also be seen in the picture.

After this, the dentist removes the old seal, thoroughly cleans the tooth, as it can be stained with enamel.

After that, a special insulating spacer made of medical( dental) cement is applied to the mouth of the root canals. It protects from the fact that the main whitening substance does not get into the root canals. In conclusion, a temporary seal is placed for a period of 14 days.

The next visit to the dental office begins with the doctor taking the seal and applying the whitening gel. In the event that the desired effect is not achieved, the procedure is repeated. In the event that everything is in order, the patient can enjoy a radiant smile for a year, then it will be necessary to apply again to the dentist.
