Opalescence: Not Just A Great Whitening Material

There’s a dime in a dozen of whitening materials in the market. It can be bought over the counter and through your dentists. Although, their main purpose is to whiten your teeth, there are other considerations we should look into in order to ensure that not only it is effective but it should also be safe. Demineralization of the enamel are one of the conditions wherein both dentists and patients are worried about when they use whitening materials.

Opalescence Tooth Whitening has been in the market for more than 20 years and it’s been the leading whitening material for a long time now.  Did you know the pH levels in Opalescence whitening products range from 6.0 to 7.0, which allows the peroxides to control the proliferation of bad bacteria growth in addition to the whitening effects? When pH levels fall below 5.5, teeth begin to demineralize. Normally, saliva has pH levels between 6.75 and 7.25 to regulate bacterial growth in the mouth. However, lifestyle habits such as eating, drinking, and smoking cause acid production due to the process of metabolizing bacteria. When you couple this with the frequency of those habits, the overall pH level in the mouth can be lowered, which causes an increase in acidity. This can lead to multiple issues such as poor digestion, bacterial growth, enamel wear, and bad breath.
