 Hello everybody, Andrew Majeski here with dental help tutoring. Sorry for the delay in the videos We have moved things have been busy I did do a video about a couple days ago actually but it turned out it had no sound Because I was using my laptop. I plugged in the webcam didn't do it properly. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm back I've literally just finished work. I'm going to talk to you guys about lightning today I'm going to show you guys an amazing before and after that. I just did Literally tie it up. I disinfected everything. I just have to put everything away This is my home office, you know, you can't always see the most beautiful picture, right? You can't always see the most amazing office. This is real life This is what the office looks like after I'm done working all day, but look at my nice patient chair I'm going to show you guys that first Nice a I do have a blanket on there just because she was a little bit cold But I'm going to put that in the wash right away in case you're wondering That's what I'm doing But I'm going to show you guys the amazing before and after that I did because it looks so good and I get a lot of questions in my independent dental hygiene network group on Facebook where people are You know asking what's the best whitening solution? What do you use? What works for you? So I want to talk about what works for me But let me first show you guys this amazing before and after Check this out. So I don't love my before picture. I don't know why it's so blurry I typically take like five or six of them, but they're all blurry like that So I don't know what I did, but but you can still see look at the Shade of the before and look at the shade of the after isn't that amazing you guys? It is literally 45 minutes of Whitening that's it. I did do a cleaning first. So when I do the whitening I do always tell people to get the best whitening possible do the cleaning first You will have patients that don't want the cleaning that's okay, but I have never seen amazing Results like this if you don't have a clean first. So I tell patients to do the cleaning first I'm going to stop sharing my screen for one second because I want to show you guys my shade guide that I do use Ordered it off of Amazon easy, but check this out I have a really bright light. So it's kind of hard to see the different shades I'm just gonna kind of hold it back a little bit, but from the darkest to the lightest This is the shade that she was and this is the shade that she is now It's kind of hard to see you guys. I'm sorry from the different actually you can kind of see it now, right? I have a really bright light. I kind of have to figure out where to put that in the room To make it look not so bright. So I apologize, but you get the idea show Patience their shade. That's the best thing to do. So when I Lighten I do a before photo and an after photo. So I'm actually just gonna share my screen again So what I do is I clean the teeth first, of course And then I do my before photo where I have also purchased this light from Amazon. Oh Let me stop sharing my screen again. Sorry guys just so I can show you this light I had ordered this light on Amazon so that way I can use the same light for everybody I just plug it into my cell phone Sorry, no, I don't I plug it into my power bar here You could plug it into your laptop computer, whatever, but since I clean to even patients homes, too I like to plug it into a power bar Let me just do that here and then I turn it off It's really bright as you guys can see but I put my cell phone here And I kind of adjust the light like this So then that way I can see but make sure it is not up to the face like this because then teeth look too bright So you do kind of have to play with it so that it looks the most natural But I use the same light for the before and after photos so that the same light is being used, right? It makes it a little trickier if let's say I'm seeing a patient at like four o'clock and then we're done at like 530 the light like outside is different So it can kind of change things a bit that way, especially if you're sitting in front of a window like I was But if you use the same light that does help huge Take me before and after photo and send it to the patients because they love to see that Another thing that I use the system that I actually use is a wicked white pro. Okay, it is awesome It's actually made and developed by a dental hygienist. That's not why I use it I use it because it works. I have tried Zoom I have tried polo night polo day. I've tried Opalescence and also if I tried I tried tons I don't love any of those products some of those products are very very good But then they cause extreme sensitivity Nobody wants that nobody wants to whiten if the teeth are going to be sensitive. So I found an amazing product I'm using it now for About a year and I love it and it is cost-effective to like you don't have to spend a crazy amount You can charge patients with whatever you like. It's up to you right now I have a promo going on where lightning in office is nine nine dollars if they get a cleaning as well If they don't want the cleaning, it's 150 if I'm going to their home It's two hundred dollars if they get a cleaning to it's 150 So you can charge whatever you want. I have heard people charging upwards to three hundred four hundred dollars totally up to you It's just that's the price that I do Always use their pretreatment spray. Okay, so this is what I used to actually polish the teeth with I put it in like a dappen dish I used to use pumice and water which I do like that But I have since ran out So I just kind of tried this and it seems to work just as just as well Like you saw that before and after right it looks amazing because I feel what you polish with it makes a really really big difference I've talked to a lot of hygienists that say that they just polish with a normal like profi paste But then they wonder why the results aren't that good. So I do feel that it makes a big difference So I just use the spray that comes with the kit But anyways, I can talk more about that afterwards. I'm not trying to sell you guys the wicked white system That's totally up to you, but that's the system that I use I put Vaseline on the lips before I apply any of the lightning You could use a ginger barrier. That's what I actually used to use, but it's expensive It's like $30 a tube and you have to use a ton of it. So a hygienist in that group Independent dental hygiene network that I'm a part of had actually suggested using Vaseline And I thought oh does that actually work? It does it actually works And let me show you guys what the syringe is So there's a syringe of hydrogen peroxide. There's a syringe of carbomide peroxide So there's two different types. Okay, so this is what the syringes look like. I use hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes I take it off with Gauze suction that's up to you and then I put it on again for about 15 minutes. I apply it with a micro brush It's probably over there, but anyways, you all know what a micro brush is Then like not the teeny teeny teeny tiny ones, but the ones that are a little bit longer If you have any questions about that, just let me know So I put the hydrogen peroxide on once for 15 minutes. I wipe it off with the gauze or the suction I put it on again for another 15 minutes. I wipe that off afterwards with gauze and the and or the suction And then I put on the carbonyl peroxide for 15 to 20 minutes depending on what the patient needs If I can tell that the patient's uncomfortable then I make it 15 minutes, right? The cheek retractors are the most uncomfortable part for people from what I have noticed I've never had any complaints about sensitivity. I've just had kind of complaints about yeah I didn't really like those cheek retractors. They didn't really feel very nice But afterwards they're so happy with how things look they don't mind and I do use a light by the way I did not use a light initially, but I do now. I do feel like it makes a difference A hygienist told me the light is just mainly for Not for boosting the results, but for just making it work quicker But before I didn't want to spend money on a light, but now I do feel like it makes a big difference I will show you guys It's kind of heavy. No, it's not heavy, but I think I'm just tired. So this is the light right here Let me turn it on for a second See you guys don't look right at it so I use that light also from amazon, which I can leave the link for you guys for that on the bottom to Use whichever light you want. Um, the wicked way pro company does sell a light But it's thousands of dollars. So I got an led light off of amazon I don't know if it's the same light, but it seems to work for me for I think I spent maybe 150 So that's a big difference right between a couple thousand or a thousand big difference 150 compared to 1500 I will take the one for 150. So that's all I do you guys A couple other little tips actually let me show you guys that nice before and after photo again Since I don't have to show you guys anything else There you go. So another couple um tips are When you're done have the patient take out Their own cheek retractors because they will be sore where those cheek retractors were Have them take them out and you might be wondering why because it's it's more comfortable for them because they kind of know What feels better to them if that makes sense if you take them out. Yes, that's fine There's nothing wrong with that but they will be more uncomfortable And I also let the patient rinse their mouth with with water And a cup at the sink afterwards. I could rinse for them But at that point they're they're usually just They're just excited to get up and under the chair because they've been laying back for like 45 minutes If I did a cleaning too, then they've been laying back for almost two hours So they just like to get up and rinse themselves Um, I let them know that they can look in the near obviously They love that and I tell them too that their teeth do actually tend to look lighter the next day because If your mouth has been open for that length of time, the teeth are almost Dehydrated so they don't look as white as they could the next day So and I let them know too that if they are sensitive or a little bit sensitive to use like a sense line toothpaste There's other toothpaste that I I recommend too for people who might not like the sense line, but that's kind of up to you Do you guys have any questions about that? I'm just trying to think if I forgot anything But yeah, that's a system that I use and those little things Like using the spray or the promise and the water first will really really help I don't use the ginger bowl barrier on the gums because that gets expensive. So I use like a Vaseline product and that works just as well. You can save up this fortune And always keep it in a dark place by the way, like this is the day that it came and I just kind of keep it in there Keep it in a dark place because I'm sure if it's some Under the light too long it probably starts to expire quicker. Who knows right? Um, but yeah, so that's pretty much it you guys do you guys have any questions and let me know I hope you guys like my office. I will give you guys another tour once things are cleaned up. I feel like it's kind of messy But thank you guys so much. It's so nice to talk to everybody again, and I'll see you guys very soon
