and have effects
Dr. Dean bin Khaled Abdul Hamid, Director of the British Centers for Quality in Dentistry and Advisor to the Centers of Dallah Dental Hospital in Riyadh, stressed the seriousness of dental cosmetology operations before paying attention to oral health, noting that it is a dangerous phenomenon and its consequences are dire. He told Al-Riyadh that all solutions used in teeth whitening processes use minerals in the burning hydrogen peroxide, which can have devastating effects on oral health if not performed under the supervision of a specialist, and therefore all dental cosmetics must be the top of a pyramid that starts from Eliminate all oral diseases first, and cosmetic comes after achieving health first.
Dr. Dean warned of the danger of buying methods of whitening teeth through markets, pharmacies or the Internet without the supervision of the specialist doctor, which may have caused the melting of teeth and burning of the gums due to the use of these products without the supervision of a specialist.
Dr. Dean called on all those who wish to perform the whitening process to ask their questions before starting them, at a time when there are a large number of devices and methods of teeth whitening in the clinics of dentists in the Middle East, indicating that one of the most important of these questions is whether the proposed whitening process before The doctor is sufficient to remove all colourants? Where research and studies have proven that yellow colourants are still better than brown colourants, and brown colourants are still better than lead colourants that cannot be removed in teeth whitening by shortening the teeth, and the fillings and formulations cannot be bleached in the same way as natural tooth eggs.
He added, "It is important to know the chemical present in the bleaching solution, which is hydrogen peroxide, at a concentration of between 15% and 30% of this solution. The lower the concentration, the harmful effect is much less. The question must be asked about the presence of (FDA) and licensing an association." American and European dentists perform these procedures before agreeing to begin them.
Dr. Dean revealed a study that recently announced its results on the need for teeth whitening in the Kingdom and the Arab Gulf states, which was conducted by the British Centers for Quality in Dentistry in cooperation with the Eastman Institute at the University of London and included 10,000 patients from the Dallah Hospital centers and the collaborating centers in each of Riyadh, Jeddah, Eastern Region, Dubai, Qatar reported that 75% of these are the first to ask about teeth whitening, and when comparing with similar surveys conducted by the American Dental Association, we find that this percentage reaches only 25% of dental clinic auditors. Dr. Dean Khaled stated that the study showed that 85% of the patients who are asked about teeth whitening are women, and 90% of this sample have previously tried one of the toothpaste and whitening drugs available on the market and online.
