Whitening Of Teeth

What is teeth whitening ?
Teeth whitening is a process that involves removing stains from the surface of the teeth and restoring the natural color of the teeth. A dentist does whitening as a one-time procedure. It is one of the most commonly used and effective cosmetic procedures. With the advent of the latest dental technology, we have advanced whitening treatment procedures that provide reliable and long-lasting results. Almost everyone who uses a teeth whitening solution experiences a slight to major difference in the brightness and whiteness of their smile. That said, it's not a permanent solution to discoloration and requires maintenance or touch-ups for a long-lasting effect. There are many teeth whitening systems and products, including toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and whitening products obtained from a dentist. Healthy, People with loose teeth and gums are suitable for teeth whitening. People with yellow teeth have a better answer. However, this cosmetic technique isn't for everyone.

what is involved in teeth whitening?
Professional whitening is the most common method of teeth whitening. Your dental team will be able to tell if you are suitable for treatment. To protect the gums, the dentist will first apply a rubber or gel protector. They will then apply a whitening product to your teeth, using a specially made tray that fits over your mouth like a mouthguard. Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is usually the active ingredient in the formula. As the active ingredient breaks down, oxygen enters the tooth enamel and the tooth becomes lighter in colour.

How Long Will a Tooth Whitening Procedure Take?

The time needed for the procedure depends on the type of whitener that is recommended for you to use, as well as your habits that may affect the procedure. We often forget that these treatments remove stains gradually rather than immediately. To get the maximum result, it's best to depend on professional dental procedures that produce results that last two to three years.

But the effect of these procedures can be extended by keeping good oral habits, using certain products, and making sure to go for a regular dental checkup.

Here are some things you can do:

For about two to six weeks, you can use dentist-recommended whitening toothpaste and brush twice a day.
You can use a certified whitening mouthwash which usually takes about three months to produce visible results.
Whitening strips are the most compelling in-house treatments that last up to six months

Will There Be Side Effects From Teeth Whitening Procedures?
Yes, they do have side effects, as they contain various active ingredients that can cause oral problems with prolonged use.
:Gum burns and Irritation
:Gum whitening
:Gastrointestinal Irritation or distress
:Tooth enamel or dentin damage
:Enamel thinning
Even though there are many DIY teeth whitening processes, it is best to visit a dentist for a consultation if you are looking for a procedure with a long-lasting effect.
