What is teeth whitening?

Tooth whitening is a procedure that involves lightening the color of a person’s teeth. When teeth get yellowed over time for a variety of causes, whitening is often desired, and it can be accomplished by changing the intrinsic or extrinsic color of the tooth enamel.

What do teeth whitening involve?

The most common form of tooth whitening is bleaching by a professional. Your dental staff will be able to inform you whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure, and if you are, they will oversee it. To begin, they will take an impression of your mouth in order to make custom-made trays that perfectly suit your mouth. The whitening gel will then be placed within these trays, which will be inserted into your mouth.

Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is commonly the product’s “active component.” When the active ingredient is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel on the teeth, lightening the color.

Why do I need to have my teeth whitened?

There are a variety of reasons why you would want to whiten your teeth. Everyone is unique, and our teeth are no exception. Few people have pearly white teeth, and as we age, our teeth might darken.

Food and drinks like tea, coffee, red wine, and blackcurrant can also stain the surface of your teeth. Smoking might also leave stain on your teeth. The color of your teeth might also be affected by ‘calculus’ or tartar. Some people may have staining beneath the surface of their teeth, which can be caused by antibiotics or small fissures in the teeth that absorb stains.
