Whitening: You can do it at home: Whitening is a treatment that "bleaches" your teeth. It is done with toothpaste or/and whitening strips. ( depending on how yellow your teeth are ) The paste and the strips contain sodium fluoride . You Can also achieve a certain level of bleaching by applying baking soda to the tooth brush ( with or without toothpaste) and brush as normal. This should not be done more than 3 times a week because it takes some of your calcium from your teeth.Cleaning: DentistCleaning is a process that should be done twice a year . Usually done by dental hygienists , they go deep into your gums around each teeth to bring out sediments built up inside your gums. Flossing is part of cleaning. The deeper the gum pocket become ( from lack of flossing, the sediments dig into your gums) the easier it is for a person to loose her/his teeth when older because the roots don't have much gum to grab on to. Dentists go by numbers( I believe they represent ml) , low is good , and from 5-7 is not. Again, according to my dentist flossing helps prevent this , but it is not a substitute for cleaning. Cleaning is done in two sessions, upper gums one day , and lower another ( they use Anestassia and gums are very sensitive for 2 days after it is done)YOU CAN SCHEDULE IT AS YOU LIKE . I did upper one monday and lower the next monday.I hope it's what you were looking for. 5 years ago This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a whole bunch. I plan having this done in a few more weeks instead of a couple due to me slicing my finger open to the bone. It will take another 13 days to heal. Thanks once again.
