Bleaching Teeth
Bleaching Teeth, more commonly known as ‘teeth whitening’, is becoming a regular procedure in general dentistry since we are becoming more aware of how we look and such option are readily accessible to all.
As a person ages, he/she experiences various changes in their teeth, particularly in their mineral structure, which is mirrored in their teeth’s color. Other important elements which affect the color of our teeth are particular foodstuffs, tobacco as well as pigments caused by oral bacteria. Also it is believed that certain antibiotic medications can stain and affect the teeth’s enamel.
We can find many teeth bleaching aids at our local pharmacy and these may include: bleaching strips, gels and pens, as well as natural bleaching products or laser bleaching. Most bleaching gels and strips can be used at home. They act as oxidizing agents which penetrates the teeth’s enamel and oxidizes the minute stain deposits which are trapped there. This procedure can improve and whiten the teeth’s color and the effect can last for various days, depending on the person’s lifestyle. For best long results, one must restrict him/herself from smoking or drinking dark liquids such as coffee, tea or red wine.
Laser bleaching is a dentistry procedure where light energy is used to accelerate the bleaching process. A translucent bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and with the addition of a laser light, this gel penetrated the teeth enamel and removes any dark stains there. This process offers a better result than the previously mentioned products and it can last for several months. A great advantage in using this method is that it is very effective and it usually only takes on visit to acquire the desired result.

Conquer Hair Loss and Prevent Baldness
Experiencing hair loss with age is very common. It could be a receding hair line, thinning hair or even bald patches. Whatever the case, it can become a serious concern especially if you are still in your early 20s or 30s.
To prevent baldness and to stop the hair loss process you must first investigate as to what is the primary cause. If it’s a temporary issue, due to a particular illness or a reaction against intake of particular medications, you must first address this in order to bring back the hair growth cycle to its regular pattern. You can then turn to hair products especially created to prevent baldness and to stimulate new hair growth.
One important factor to keep in mind is to use shampoos and conditioners which are ideal for your scalp. There is no need for any expensive hair product to stimulate hair growth but your main aim is to use natural products which clean the scalp and promote hair rejuvenation. It is also particularly advised to use a shampoo and a separate conditioner and to avoid a 2 in 1 product.
Eating a balanced diet, which is rich in vitamins, is becoming a popular practice in preventing baldness. Although it is not the main cause of baldness, poor nutrition can cause hair loss, thinning hair and can cause bald patches to appear. Vitamins which are particularly helpful are B-Vitamins, which are found in lean meat, eggs and cauliflower, and Biotin which contribute to healthy hair growth. This is found in foods such as brown rice, walnuts and old fashioned rice.
An advantage of using natural products to prevent hair loss and baldness is that there are no side effects caused by certain medications and in this way your whole body system is gaining.
