This system is offered by many dentists and medical spas around the world. It works by having a patented blue light applied directly to the teeth that have been brushed with a certain gel.
Three sessions of 20 minutes under the blue light and you have pearly whites. At least that is what the company's website boasts.
In my research I have found many people that have had this procedure and they rant about how much pain they had during and after the sessions. Many would not recommend it to anyone because of the severity of the pain they felt hours after the treatment.
I have devised a list of 10 questions that you can ask your dentist about the Brite Smile procedure. These will help you determine if you really want to go through with this fairly expensive procedure.
10 Questions:
# 1: Am I a good candidate for this system?
# 2: What are the side effects?
# 3: How much pain am I really going to feel?
# 4: Can you give me something that will deaden the teeth to offset the pain?
# 5: How long will the procedure take?
# 6: What can I eat after the treatment?
# 7: What do I need to eat before the treatment?
# 8: How long can I expect to experience pain after the treatment?
# 9: How much whiter are my teeth going to be?
#10: Will I need to take the next couple of days off from work?
These are some questions that you can ask but if you come up with your own concerns please be sure to let the dentist know. The more you and your dentist talk about the procedure the more you become educated about it. It also might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about it as many have experienced pain and had to have prescription medicines called in for them because of the treatment.
