<p>Isabel Del Los Rios has been a nutritional specialist for 10 years, firstly, she developed this program mainly for her mother, who has weight problems and severe diabetes. She has devoted herself to the program research for 15 years. In the period, the program has helped hundreds of people who are troubled by weight problems. The Diet Solution Program has seen great achievement and good effect in decreasing blood sugar level, lowering cholesterol, improving digestive issues, increasing energy and improving skin conditions.<br />The Program is very helpful in enhancing metabolism and eliminating metabolism suppressing foods. The Program points out expressly that which part of the food is the correct portions to eat. If you take the program, the program will help to start burning fat immediately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to prevent Type 2 diabetes (the most common type), eat a healthy, low-fat diet and exercise regularly. Supplements that prevent diabetes will not work all by themselves. But they can help enhance your efforts for overall good health, as well as preventing Type 2 diabetes. Any supplement is medicinal. Ask your doctor before taking any. Follow the directions carefully and stop if you develop sudden side effects.</p>
<p><strong>1. Selenium</strong></p>
<p>This is the most popular and most studied of the supplements that prevent diabetes. It is almost slam-dunk diabetes prevention in rats. However, there have been conflicting reports about selenium&#8217;s effectiveness in people. Some people swear by it; others swear at it. If you eat a well-balanced diet all the time, then you will get enough selenium in your diet.</p>
<p><strong>2. Chromium</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the most expensive of the supplements that prevent diabetes. However, it is often included in multi-supplement formulas targeted to preventing diabetes. This is popular among bodybuilders, as chromium reduces body fat without cannibalizing any muscle. Anything that helps lower body fat is helpful for preventing diabetes.</p>
<p><strong>3. Glucomannan</strong></p>
<p>This natural supplement that prevents diabetes does so because it is a whopping dose of fiber that dissolves easily in water. Fiber is encouraged in diabetic diets.</p>
<p><strong>4. Cinnamon</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the most promising of the supplements that prevent diabetes. Cinnamon extract helps the body absorb sugar better. And it has a nice aftertaste. You should take a pill rather than the cinnamon found in the baking aisle.</p>
<p><strong>5. Bitter Melon</strong></p>
<p>Some scientific studies suggest that bitter melon helps what a body&#8217;s cells seek out, find and take in insulin. You need to take a pill of this in order to get the effects. You can not eat enough melons to get the required dosage.</p>
<p><strong>6. Garlic</strong></p>
<p>Yes, the vampire-repellent may also be one of the most economical and practical of the supplements that prevent diabetes. Garlic helps stimulate blood flow. This can react badly with some medications like blood thinners and birth control pills. Be sure to check with your doctor and pharmacist before taking garlic.</p>
<p><strong>7. Magnesium</strong></p>
<p>This is another trace mineral, but less expensive than chromium and usually a part of many multi-vitamins. Just how magnesium helps the body prevent diabetes is not clear. But many people with Type 2 diabetes also have low to non-existent levels of magnesium in their bodies. Coincidence?</p>
<p><strong>8. Alpha Lipoic Acid</strong></p>
<p>Despite the scary name, it is also one of the supplements that prevent diabetes. It is an anti-oxidant found naturally in food like tea, potatoes and spinach. You can also take extract pills. ALA seems to consistently lower blood sugar levels. You have to be vigilant that it doesn&#8217;t lower your blood sugar or iron levels too much.</p>
<p><strong>9. Coenzyme Q10</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the least studied and most controversial of this lot. It is only available in tiny portions in food. You would have to take a pill to get the effects. This reacts badly with blood thinners, high blood pressure medicines and cancer treatments.</p>
<p><strong>10. Omega 3 Fatty Acids</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the good kinds of fat, but how it works is unknown. It is naturally occuring in salmon, fish oil capsules and wheat germ. You can also get pills or liquid forms.</p>
<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;">
<p>And, to help you get a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.healthfulsupplements.com">total control on diabetes</a>, I invite you to take a look at a trusted product range which has the most active natural ingredients that I have known. You would get more information when you visit <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.healthfulsupplements.com">http://www.healthfulsupplements.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depression is a serious medical illness that involves the brain. It&#8217;s more than just a feeling of being &#8220;down in the dumps&#8221; or &#8220;blue&#8221; for a few days. If you are one of the more than 20 million people in the United States who have depression, the feelings do not go away. Depression can occur for what seems like no reason at all or can be triggered by a traumatizing life event within a person&#8217;s life. The cause of depression still remains a mystery among the medicinal world, however many experts say genes may have an effect on the likelihood of depression within a family and a lack of the chemical serotonin in the brain may be linked to depression. Just like all other medical conditions depression has a series of symptoms that can be diagnosed and treated by a medical professional and can be defined as a never ending sad mood or affect as well as a loss of interest in life and life&#8217;s activities. Although a low mood or state of dejection that does not affect functioning is often colloquially referred to as depression , clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis and may be different from the everyday meaning of &#8220;being depressed.&#8221; Many people identify the feeling of being clinically depressed as &#8220;feeling sad for no reason&#8221;, or &#8220;having no motivation to do anything.&#8221; One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and sometimes substance abuse . Extreme depression can culminate in its sufferers attempting or committing suicide . Without careful assessment, delirium can easily be confused with depression and a number of other psychiatric disorders because many of the signs and symptoms are conditions present in depression , as well as other mental illnesses including dementia and psychosis . </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Sometimes this is because of a loss, or a change. The feeling of sadness, though, is appropriate and transitory. When such feelings persist and impair daily life, they may signal an underlying depressive illness. So it is the severity and duration of symptoms, plus the presence of other features, that help distinguish this normal sadness from a depressive disorder. Depression is more than just a mood disorder, it is a real illness that not only affects one&#8217;s mood and thoughts but also appetite, sleep patterns and one&#8217;s self esteem. It may also involve physical symptoms, such as stomach pains, headaches and rapid heartbeat. There are several different types of depression, so you will hear terms like major depression, endogenous depression, chronic depression, and so on. These terms tend to describe the predominant symptoms, their severity or their duration. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Causes of Depression </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Depression may be triggered by stressful life events, other illnesses, certain drugs or medications, or inherited traits. Although causes of depression are not entirely understood, we know it is linked to an imbalance in brain chemistry. Once the imbalance is corrected, symptoms of depression generally improve. Some researchers feel that severe depressions are caused by a physical defect in the body, such as a biochemical imbalance in the brain or other factors. Other things that have been linked to depression have to do with a person&#8217;s lifestyle. Things such as; food allergies, prescription drugs, caffeine, alcohol, illicit drugs and even tobacco. If a person has some sort of health problem such as; cancer, aids, hepatitis, diabetes, hypoglycemia, chronic pain, hormonal (glandular) disorders such as those of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands; malignancies, anemias or other blood problems, or even somethings like nutritional deficiencies, heredity and bad childhood experiences can cause depression.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Symptoms of Depression </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>1. Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>2. Change in weight. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>3. Feelings of worthlessness. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>4. Loss of identity. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>5. Lack of concentration. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>6. Feelings of anxiety.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Treatment of Depression </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There are many treatments available for depression, including counselling and medicines, but the first step is always to get a physical and psychological assessment to find out whether you have a depressive illness. Anti-depressant medications are often used. There are different types and the doctor will recommend which is the right one under the particular circumstances.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With NutriSystem, your diet comes in the form of a non-refrigerated foil pouch. It also calls for members to eat the company&#8217;s range of foods in conjuction with grocery store-bought accompaniments such as fruits and vegetables. Its latest diet plan consists of foods prepared from nutritious ingredients which are good for the heart, such as those rich in omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber, which NutriSystem contends could diminish your wish for food, lower feelings of hunger, and suppress appetite in between meals. The diet plan also comprises of DVDs on health for both sexes, an activity manual, a personalized food diary, and a Quick Start Guide.</p>
<p>Except that the ultimate convenience of NutriSystem doesn&#8217;t come in cheap. Prices for their food are pretty costly. And aside from their pre-packaged foods, you need to purchase fruits, veggies, and milk. Opinions vary also about the quality and taste of the pre-packaged foods.</p>
<p>But NutriSystem is perfect for those who don&#8217;t want to plan meals or portions. They offer a variety of options, including a vegetarian plan. They have high-quality low-fat picks, and a well-adjusted meal plan centered on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. They also give client support via personal counsellors, newsletters, chats and e-mails.</p>
<p>Based on the Glycemic Index, which ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on blood sugar levels, the NutriSystem plan stabilizes blood sugar levels by emphasizing low GI carbohydrates, which break down slowly and release glucose into the bloodstream gradually, over high GI foods, which break down rapidly. Loading up on low GI carbohydrates, in combination with optimal amounts of protein and fiber, helps stave off hunger and keeps dieters satisfied. Dieters select between six, 28-day programs: Women&#8217;s, Men&#8217;s, Women&#8217;s Silver, Men&#8217;s Silver, Women&#8217;s Diabetic, Men&#8217;s Diabetic or Vegetarian. The program consists of menus and checklists so that weight watchers would have an idea of what to consume and when to consume it.</p>
<p>On their program, you eat five to six small meals each day. The meal is low in sugar, packed with good carbs. You have these delectable food sent to your home. All that you require to be victorious is in the package. You know when you wake up you&#8217;ve got a plan and you&#8217;re ready to go. Then you include your dose of protein, such as a glass of non-fat milk and a fruit. It&#8217;s so simple that the dieter starts to get the rhythm down.</p>
<p>People grow jaded in a short span of time. Having so many choices keeps it interesting. People crave variety and they offer such variety people enjoy it and lose weight. The nourishment is well-adjusted for excellent health. On NutriSystem, you get to have what you crave on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Any successful diet plan allows for some flexibility, and NutriSystem is no exception. You can exchange an afternoon snack for a morning snack, and at the same time exchange a NutriSystem lunch for a NutriSystem dinner.</p>
<p>No exercise plan is outlined in NutriSystem, but dieticians and counsellors can work with you on devising a plan that is suitable for you.</p>
<p>After you have achieved your weight loss goal, a NutriSystem counsellor can help you to develop a meal plan that gradually integrates grocery store foods back into your daily diet..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>              The meaning of Diabetic Coma and Treatment. This coma diabetic of a thing is a dangerous situation where someone is not conscious not because the blood glucose (sugar) is too low or too high. Incase the glucose level is too low, such a person has hypoglycemia and if the level is too high then the person has hyperglycemia which possibly may develop into ketoacidosis. Diabetes mellitus Type 1 victims are particularly prone to diabetes coma. If blood glucose test is not carried out, then it will be hard to say if the coma diabetes is caused by hypoglycemia or hyperglycemias as diabetic coma symptoms look alike. Studies have made known that about 2%-15% of diabetes victims will suffer no less than one episode of coma diabetic during their life due to rigorous hypoglycemia. Prior to late 1970s, the coma diabetic was a diagnostic problem. However, by through the introduction of glucose meters and rapid blood chemistry analyzers it rarely take more than a few questions, a glucose meter and a quick look to ascertain the cause of the unconsciousness in a diabetes patient. The laboratory result can be obtained usually in half an hour or less for those with diabetes coma. Those who are diabetic have to be aware of how a coma diabetic transpires and be watchful over the diabetic coma symptoms. To make sure that such individual does not have another diabetes coma, some guidelines has to be followed. Let&#8217;s look at the treatment options for coma diabetic: 1.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diabetes is the inability to regulate how much sugar, especially the blood glucose. Blood glucose gives you the energy you need to do things like walking, running, biking and a multitude of other daily activities. </p>
<p>When we eat foods blood glucose is produced by the liver. Under normal conditions glucose is regulated by several hormones including insulin. Insulin is produced in the pancreas along with other important enzymes that help digestion of food. Insulin allows glucose to pass from blood to the liver, muscle and fat cells, where it is used as fuel. </p>
<p>When a person does not produce enough insulin which is known as type 1 diabetes. Another situation where a person can not properly use insulin is called type 2 diabetes. People can have one or two forms of the disease. The problem is that glucose can not move blood cells that need energy and high levels remaining in the blood can cause damage to other tissues and organs. </p>
<p>Both forms of diabetes led to levels of blood sugar are called hyperglycemia. This condition over a long period of time will lead to several serious medical conditions. The damage to the retina of the eye in diabetes is the leading cause of blindness. It can also cause damage to the kidneys, causing renal failure. The nerve damage from diabetes is the leading cause of ulcers and wounds in the legs that can lead to amputation of feet and legs.</p>
<p>The herbs can be controlled diabetes </p>
<p>Diabetes is detected if a person can not be cured but can be controlled by appropriate medications and natural herbal medicine may be the best when they are administered regularly over a healthy lifestyle. But it is important to check blood sugar levels frequently to test the effectiveness of any treatment. </p>
<p>1. Cinnamon has properties similar to insulin. It also reduces blood cholesterol and triglycerides are also important factors for type 2 diabetes. A half teaspoon of cinnamon each day in the diet may reduce the blood glucose level. </p>
<p>2. Bitter gourd has several compounds that help reduce blood sugar levels. Taking the time to juice in the morning on an empty stomach can give the desired results. </p>
<p>3. The onion is a compound that is able to block the distribution of insulin and also stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. Gives good results if they eat raw or boiled form. </p>
<p>4. Fenugreek seeds as a spice widely used in various recipes from India can lower levels of blood sugar. A teaspoon of seeds powder if taken with a glass of water a day helps treat. </p>
<p>5. Asian ginseng is traditionally used by Chinese to treat diabetes. This herb stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin and increase the number of insulin receptors. These help in reducing blood glucose levels. </p>
<p>6. Blueberry leaves gave good results in the body rid of excess blood glucose. Plunging few leaves in hot water and drink three cups a day can produce good results. </p>
<p>Diabetes increases the risk for many health problems that can be very serious. However, with proper treatment and lifestyle changes can delay or prevent any complication. Herbal medicines are useful in treating diabetes, since no additional chemical that produces no side effects, but also treat other disorders at the same time. Along with medications for diabetes need enough physical exercise and a healthy nutritious diet to be given due importance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Healthy Diet: What Not to Eat</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eating indeed is one of the most enjoyable experiences especially when with others. The colors, the textures, and the flavors of food are just to die for. But we do know that munching too much can lead to unwanted weight gain and numerous health issues if we don&#8217;t watch what we eat. It&#8217;s especially hard to balance our diet when we live in a fast food generation where anything fried and processed tastes heavenly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To start off, we all know that foods that are processed, refined, and made with additives and preservatives aren&#8217;t good for us. Processed foods may taste good and last long but contain only little nutrition. This is why organic foods should always be preferred over &#8220;junk&#8221; foods. Moreover, fast food and the likes contain high sodium levels without us even realizing it. The same goes for canned and packaged food.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bear in mind that if you consume foods from natural sources, the better. Simply put, eating fruits and veggies raw are better than cooking them too much since important nutrients may seep away when we heat them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although eating fruits and vegetables is better than eating meat, avoid fried vegetable dishes or those drowned in rich sauces and dressings. These contain a lot of unnecessary calories and unhealthy fat. Canned fruits and juices contain high sugar levels; if you still want to eat or drink them, try diluting them in water.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carbohydrates must not be shunned entirely since there are good carbohydrates and there are bad ones. The latter includes refined grains, sugar, rice, or anything that has been stripped off its bran, fiber, and nutrients. Eating too much of it may lead to an unhealthy rise in blood sugar levels which can cause diabetes or obesity. This is why we should opt for whole grain choices instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don&#8217;t know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages. Unlike tooth decay, which often causes discomfort, it is possible to have periodontal disease without noticeable symptoms. Having regular dental check-ups and periodontal examinations are very important and will help detect if periodontal problems exist.</p>
<p>Periodontal disease begins when plaque, a sticky, colorless, film of bacteria, food debris, and saliva, is left on the teeth and gums. The bacteria produce toxins (acids) that inflame the gums and slowly destroy the bone. Brushing and flossing regularly and properly will ensure that plaque is not left behind to do its damage.</p>
<p>Other than poor oral hygiene, there are several other factors that may increase the risk of developing periodontal disease:</p>
<p>•Smoking or chewing tobacco – Tobacco users are more likely than nonusers to form plaque and tartar on their teeth.<br />•Certain tooth or appliance conditions – Bridges that no longer fit properly, crowded teeth, or defective fillings that may trap plaque and bacteria.<br />•Many medications – Steroids, cancer therapy drugs, blood pressure meds, oral contraceptives. Some medications have side affects that reduce saliva, making the mouth dry and plaque easier to adhere to the teeth and gums.<br />•Pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and puberty – Can cause changes in hormone levels, causing gum tissue to become more sensitive to bacteria toxins.<br />•Systemic diseases – Diabetes, blood cell disorders, HIV / AIDS, etc.<br />•Genetics may play role – Some patients may be predisposed to a more aggressive type of periodontitis. Patients with a family history of tooth loss should pay particular attention to their gums.<br />Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease</p>
<p>•Red and puffy gums – Gums should never be red or swollen.<br />•Bleeding gums – Gums should never bleed, even when you brush vigorously or use dental floss.<br />•Persistent bad breath – Caused by bacteria in the mouth.<br />•New spacing between teeth – Caused by bone loss.<br />•Loose teeth – Also caused by bone loss or weakened periodontal fibers (fibers that support the tooth to the bone).<br />•Pus around the teeth and gums – Sign that there is an infection present.<br />•Receding gums – Loss of gum around a tooth.<br />•Tenderness or Discomfort – Plaque, calculus, and bacteria irritate the gums and teeth.<br />Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease.</p>
<p>Q: Why is it important to use dental floss? </p>
<p>A: Brushing our teeth removes food particles, plaque, and bacteria from all tooth surfaces, except in between the teeth. Unfortunately, our toothbrush can&#8217;t reach these areas that are highly susceptible to decay and periodontal (gum) disease.</p>
<p>Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone.</p>
<p>Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (acids) that cause cavities and irritate and inflame the gums. Also, when plaque is not removed above and below the gumline, it hardens and turns into calculus (tartar). This will further irritate and inflame the gums and also slowly destroy the bone. This is the beginning of periodontal disease.</p>
<p>How to floss properly: </p>
<p>•Take 12-16 inches (30-40cm) of dental floss and wrap it around your middle fingers, leaving about 2 inches (5cm) of floss between the hands.<br />•Using your thumbs and forefingers to guide the floss, gently insert the floss between teeth using a sawing motion.<br />•Curve the floss into a &#8220;C&#8221; shape around each tooth and under the gumline. Gently move the floss up and down, cleaning the side of each tooth.<br />Floss holders are recommended if you have difficulty using conventional floss.</p>
<p>Daily flossing will help you keep a healthy, beautiful smile for life!</p>
<p>Q: How can cosmetic dentistry help improve the appearance of my smile? </p>
<p>A: If you&#8217;re feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth, or just want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile.<br />Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due to the many advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials available today, but also because patients are becoming more and more focused on improving their overall health. This includes dental prevention and having a healthier, whiter, more radiant smile.</p>
<p>There are many cosmetic dental procedures available to improve your teeth and enhance your smile. Depending on your particular needs, cosmetic dental treatments can change your smile dramatically, from restoring a single tooth to having a full mouth make-over. Ask your dentist how you can improve the health and beauty of your smile with cosmetic dentistry.<br />Cosmetic Procedures:</p>
<p>Teeth Whitening: Bleaching lightens teeth that have been stained or discolored by age, food, drink, and smoking. Teeth darkened as a result of injury or taking certain medications can also be bleached, but the effectiveness depends on the degree of staining present.<br />Composite (tooth-colored) Fillings: Also known as &#8220;bonding&#8221;, composite fillings are now widely used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings to repair teeth with cavities, and also to replace old defective fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are also used to repair chipped, broken, or discolored teeth. This type of filling is also very useful to fill in gaps and to protect sensitive, exposed root surfaces caused by gum recession.</p>
<p>Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin custom-made, tooth-colored shells that are bonded onto the fronts of teeth to create a beautiful individual smile. They can help restore or camouflage damaged, discolored, poorly shaped, or misaligned teeth. Unlike crowns, veneers require minimal tooth structure to be removed from the surface of the tooth.</p>
<p>Porcelain Crowns (caps): A crown is a tooth-colored, custom-made covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns protect and strengthen teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. They are ideal for teeth that have large, fractured or broken fillings and also for those that are badly decayed.<br />Dental Implants: Dental implants are artificial roots that are surgically placed into the jaw to replace one or more missing teeth. Porcelain crowns, bridges, and dentures can be made specifically to fit and attach to implants, giving a patient a strong, stable, and durable solution to removable dental appliances.</p>
<p>Orthodontics: Less visible and more effective brackets and wires are making straightening teeth with orthodontics much more appealing to adult patients. Also, in some cases, teeth may be straightened with custom-made, clear, removable aligners that require no braces.<br />Thanks to the advances in modern dentistry, cosmetic treatments can make a difference in making your smile shine!</p>
<p>Q: What are porcelain veneers and how can they improve my smile? </p>
<p>A: Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are individually crafted to cover the fronts of teeth. They are very durable and will not stain, making them a very popular solution for those seeking to restore or enhance the beauty of their smile.<br />Veneers may be used to restore or correct the following dental conditions:<br />Severely discolored or stained teethUnwanted or uneven spacesWorn or chipped teethSlight tooth crowdingMisshapen teeth Teeth that are too small or largeGetting veneers usually requires two visits. Veneers are created from an impression (mold) of your teeth that is then sent to a professional dental laboratory where each veneer is custom-made (for shape and color) for your individual smile.</p>
<p>With little or no anesthesia, teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the front surface of the teeth to allow for the small thickness of veneers. The veneers are carefully fitted and bonded onto the tooth surface with special bonding cements and occasionally a specialized light may be used to harden and set the bond.<br />Veneers are an excellent dental treatment that can dramatically improve your teeth and give you a natural, beautiful smile.</p>
<p>Q: What can I do about stained or discolored teeth? </p>
<p>A: Since teeth whitening has now become the number one aesthetic concern of many patients, there are many products and methods available to achieve a brighter smile.<br />Professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel, and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Over-the-counter products are also available, but they are much less effective than professional treatments and may not be approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).<br />As we age, the outer layer of tooth enamel wears away, eventually revealing a darker or yellow shade. The color of our teeth also comes from the inside of the tooth, which may become darker over time. Smoking, drinking coffee, tea, and wine may also contribute to tooth discoloration, making our teeth yellow and dull. Sometimes, teeth can become discolored from taking certain medications as a child, such as tetracycline. Excessive fluoridation (fluorosis) during tooth development can also cause teeth to become discolored.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to have your teeth evaluated by your dentist to determine if you&#8217;re a good candidate for bleaching. Occasionally, tetracycline and fluorosis stains are difficult to bleach and your dentist may offer other options, such as veneers or crowns to cover up such stains. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is also important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. before bleaching begins. Once the bleaching is done, your dentist can match the new restorations to the shade of the newly whitened teeth.<br />Since teeth whitening is not permanent, a touch-up may be needed every several years to keep your smile looking bright.</p>
<p>The most widely used professional teeth whitening systems:<br />Home teeth whitening systems: At-home products usually come in a gel form that is placed in a custom-fitted mouthguard (tray), created from a mold of your teeth. The trays are worn either twice a day for approximately 30 minutes, or overnight while you sleep. It usually takes several weeks to achieve the desired results depending on the degree of staining and the desired level of whitening.<br />In office teeth whitening: This treatment is done in the dental office and you will see results immediately. It may require more than one visit, with each visit lasting 30 to 60 minutes. While your gums are protected, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth. A special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent while the teeth are whitened.<br />Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity after having their teeth whitened. This sensation is temporary and subsides shortly after you complete the bleaching process, usually within a few days to one week.</p>
<p>Teeth whitening can be very effective and can give you a brighter, whiter, more confident smile!</p>
