Everyone likes to flaunt their smile. Bright and sparkling white teeth give you more confidence to show off your smile. Having stained or discolored teeth will make you uncomfortable, revealing your teeth with a grin, making you look unpleasant and unhappy.
One can always maintain a bright smile with good oral hygiene.
However, over time discoloration of teeth is natural.
This can happen due to:
Teeth Whitening is a simple bleaching process to remove your teeth' stains and make it few shades brighter as preferred. Always consult a dentist deciding on teeth whitening options.
Some of the teeth whitening methods are as follows:
Consult your dentist to ensure you are a good candidate for whitening, as teeth whitening won't be effective on brown or grey-colored teeth. Also, it won't make dental restorations like crowns whiten, which can result in different colored teeth in your mouth.
During the process, the dentist will insert a lip retractor into your mouth, protect the gums and tongue from the bleaching chemicals and apply the gel to the teeth hardening it using high-powered light. Also, a compound called potassium nitrate is applied to the tooth to prevent tooth sensitivity.
After that, a gel containing 15% to 35% hydrogen peroxide is applied. It can penetrate and break apart the stain compounds. A high-powered light is used to speed up the process. Depending on the number of shades of whitening needed, multiple applications and the removal of the gel are made.
