So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Teeth Whitening Treatment

By Taylor Hawk

Many people have found that a teeth whitening treatment is a great way to give themselves brighter and better smile; one they don't have to hide. The whitening process can be done with a halogen lamp or use of a bleaching gel. This is a common procedure that occurs in most general dentistry, but more commonly in the field of cosmetic dentistry.

Lots of people will consider using a teeth whitening treatment because it provides the chance to have a more attractive smile. Children's teeth are almost always white and they are still lucky. It is important to teach children how to take proper care of their teeth because they can't grow new ones. The teeth will begin to get darker as we age due to the changes that occur naturally to the mineral structure of the tooth. This is not something we can prevent, but they can be treated accordingly.

Your teeth can also become stained and darkened due to tobacco, foodstuffs and bacterial pigments. Many people choose to have a teeth whitening treatment done by means of using oxidizing agents. One example is hydrogen peroxide. It's the same as putting peroxide on your hair when you bleach it, except you put it on your teeth to lighten them. However, it is not the same type of peroxide; you need the one that is specifically made for your teeth.

The way in which this type of teeth whitening treatment works is when the peroxide goes through the porosities in the enamel of your teeth and eliminates or lightens the stains, and over a certain period of time your teeth will be as white as they used to be. Sometimes some procedures may take longer than others, because it depends on the concentration of the peroxide in order to determine how quickly it will work. The more peroxide is used in the solution, the quicker the procedure will be.

Using a teeth whitening treatment is an effective method if you would like to lighten the natural color of the teeth without removing any other surfaces of the tooth. The teeth will lighten until they can go no further. The peroxide will only go as far as the dentin layer, which is just under the enamel.

A teeth whitening treatment can last a long time, but will be shortened by excessive coffee and tea consumption and heavy cigarette smoking.

This means if you would like the treatment to be long lasting so your teeth look great for a long time, you will have to make a few sacrifices. You will have to stop, or drastically cut back on your smoking and caffeine intake.

If you aren't comfortable with your smile just want to make an improvement to your appearance, a teeth whitening treatment is a great idea. This is an ideal way to feel and look better.
