TEETH WHITENING
All About Teeth Whitening
LED teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment that lightens the color of your teeth and helps remove surface stains and discoloration. It’s one of the most sought-after services in beauty salons because it can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile without the need for invasive dental procedures. However, keep in mind that LED teeth whitening is not a permanent solution and will need to be repeated over time to maintain a brighter shade.
​
The enamel is the outermost layer of your teeth, and it plays a key role in their natural color. The lightness of your teeth is determined by how light is reflected off the enamel and how it interacts with the dentin beneath it. Genetics affect the thickness and smoothness of your enamel, and thinner enamel allows more of the underlying dentin to show through. The smoother or rougher your enamel is also influences how light is reflected, affecting the overall color of your teeth.
Throughout the day, a thin coating (called a pellicle) forms on the enamel and picks up stains. The enamel also contains tiny pores that can trap particles, which makes it more susceptible to discoloration.
Common Causes of Teeth Staining:
-
Tobacco use
-
Consumption of dark liquids such as coffee, tea, cola, and red wine
-
Poor oral hygiene
-
Aging, as enamel naturally thins over time, allowing the darker dentin underneath to show.
While LED teeth whitening offered in beauty salons is effective for brightening and improving the appearance of your teeth, it's important to follow the right aftercare to prolong your results.
Aftercare for LED Teeth Whitening
To get the most out of your treatment and maintain a bright smile, follow these aftercare tips:
-
Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks
For the first 24–48 hours, try to avoid consuming foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as:-
Coffee, tea, cola, and red wine
-
Berries, sauces (like soy sauce or tomato-based), and curry
-
Beverages that are dark or acidic, including fruit juices
After this period, it’s still a good idea to limit these items, as they can cause gradual staining over time.
-
-
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Brush your teeth gently twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste. Be sure to floss daily to remove any buildup between your teeth. Good oral hygiene will help maintain your results and keep your teeth looking fresh. -
Use a Whitening Toothpaste
Consider using a whitening toothpaste or one designed to reduce surface stains, but avoid overly abrasive formulas, which can damage your enamel. -
Avoid Smoking or Tobacco
Tobacco products can quickly stain your teeth, so it’s best to avoid them after your treatment to preserve your bright smile. -
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps rinse away food particles and acids that could stain your teeth. -
Touch-Up Treatments
To maintain your bright smile, consider booking regular touch-up sessions every 6–12 months, depending on your lifestyle and staining habits.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW:
​
What is LED Light?
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. It releases light when an electrical current is present. The light can be any color on the visible spectrum, such as blue-violet or red. LED lights are very bright, yet they don’t put off as much heat as incandescent or halogen lamps.
​
Does the LED Light really whiten teeth?
LED light won’t whiten your teeth on its own. Similar to other whitening methods, you will need to apply a whitening agent to your teeth. The LED light speeds up the reaction of the whitening agent.
It’s a fast, easy way to whiten your teeth. And, when used with an all-natural whitening agent, it’s non-toxic and incredibly safe.
​
Is the LED Light safe?
Certain types of light can cause health concerns. For example, most people are concerned about exposure to UV light and the side effects associated with it. Are you worried about light exposure and the potential for an increased risk of cancer? Well, you don’t have to worry at all with LED light! LED light is visible. That means it won’t cause ionizing radiation. Whitening your teeth with LED light won’t cause cell mutations or other harmful side effects.
​
How Long Does it Last?
LED Teeth Whitening can last between 6-8 months if proper aftercare is practiced. You can whiten your teeth all you want, but if you keep your bad habits, your smile won’t stay nice for long. You should already be brushing and flossing on a daily basis. This helps remove the residue from food and drink and prevents future discolouration. If you smoke, you’ll have to kick that bad habit to the curb. Smoking is dangerous to your dental health. It discolors your teeth and can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and mouth cancer.
Having a whiter smile can be life-changing. You'll have more confidence doing everyday things like taking selfies or talking to your friends. It’s time to invest in an all-natural, completely safe LED teeth whitening with Lashed Toronto. In just a half hour - hour, your smile will be better than ever!
