TOUCH WHITE™ WORKS

Why Is This So Effective?

Years ago in the mid-eighties we used infrared heating lights to heat up the beaching gel placed on teeth.

The heat made the gel work dramatically better. The problem was the heat in many patients caused incredible discomfort.

Why? Nerves don’t like the high heat that made the bleaching gels so effective.

NO DIFFERENCE

Blue Lights Don’t Work

This is why the LED blue light’s came out. They do not produce this heat. The dirty secret is they do not work. Studies were done in which the bleaching gel was placed on all of the teeth but aluminum foil was placed on one half of the teeth so the blue light could not affect bleaching. Guess what? There was no difference in the bleaching results on the aluminum foil side that received no light versus the side that received light. It is strictly the bleaching gel that did the work.

FONTANA TOUCH WHITE^™

Delivers Better Results

With the Fontana Touch White™ Laser we now really can get better results in many cases dramatically better results than just using the bleaching gel or ineffective blue lights. Why? Touch White™ uses a ER:YAG laser that only absorbs in water, which is the major component of dental bleaching gels. Due to its high absorption in water, the ER:YAG laser bleach is fully absorbed in the gel which makes it significantly work better but when the beam hits enamel with almost no water does not heat up the enamel and cause sensitivity.
