What You Don't Know About Zoom Teeth Whitening Treatment

1. What You Don't Know About Zoom Teeth Whitening Treatment We've all heard that phrase, right? What you don't know won't hurt you. Yet, the other side of that coin means what you didn't know maybe something good for you all along. That's exactly why you have to know the real score before dismissing a (probably) wonderful thing as irrelevant. For ​Zoom Teeth Whitening Calgary​, that adage holds truer than most because there's still a lot that people don't know about this dental treatment. Truthfully, it's a different brand of professional tooth whitening with unique features and hidden benefits. Blue UV Light Effectively Whitens, Disinfects and Improves Mood Instead of laser, Zoom actually uses ultraviolet (UV) light to activate the bleaching properties of the whitening gel. We already know the sun is our largest source of UV light, which damages our skin when we stayed outside without sun block for too long. However, ultraviolet light in itself isn't harmful because it is used as disinfectant. The heat it generates that damages our skin cells is the same one used to kill bacteria and to accelerate the whitening effect on discolored teeth. However, the UV light used in a ​Calgary Zoom Tooth Whitening Treatment​ comes from the blue end of the spectrum, which produces strong pulses of radiation. Aside from skin cell damage, the radiation from UV light also causes retinal damage when shone directly into the eyes. On the other hand, psychiatrists have used blue light to treat depression. Patients exposed to this light during the day showed improvements in their mood levels, response times, and attention span. Hydrogen Peroxide Breaks Down Safely into Oxygen and Water The whitening gel in light-activated treatments often contains a small amount of peroxide. The compound can be any alkaline peroxide, which is used with laser technology, or the popular bleaching agent, hydrogen peroxide, which becomes acidic during the whitening process. However, applying the hydrogen peroxide on the teeth doesn't burn the patient's gums and mouth tissue because it's already been diluted. Incidentally, hydrogen peroxide is also used to treat inflammation of the gums because of its disinfectant properties. When exposed to UV light, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down (oxidation), which produces oxygen gas and water. The water in the gel absorbs the heat from the UV light and protects the patient's mouth and gum tissue from radiation burns. The heat turns it into vapor and it dissipates into the air. Meanwhile, the oxygen particles get absorbed into the enamel and dentin of the teeth where they turn the yellowish stains into white.

2. In truth, the use of a whitening gel with hydrogen peroxide as active ingredient produces organic chemical elements, like oxygen gas and water, which do not lead to blistering. This makes Zoom Teeth Whitening a perfectly safe and viable dental treatment. In addition, the acidic property of hydrogen peroxide during the bleaching process causes a negligible amount of discomfort. People with very sensitive skin may experience some irritation and a mild biting sensation. Safe and Effective Teeth Whitening at an Affordable Cost All in all, the use of blue UV light in teeth whitening isn't a harmful practice. As professionals, dentists and their assistant know how to protect themselves and their patients from UV radiation. More than that, the application of a hydrogen peroxide gel is truly safe. The UV light accelerates the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, which separates it into oxygen particles and water. The water evaporates because of the heat from the UV light and the oxygen lightens the teeth. In the end, there's no chemical residue, the patient wasn't harmed, and Zoom Tooth Whitening remains a highly effective procedure for dental bleaching. It's also one of the most affordable treatments because it costs around $800 to $900 dollar per visit.
