Teeth Whitening
Like cleaning, whitening is a relatively discomfort-less process. Some people
are sensitive to the whitening agents used, but otherwise it’s an easy procedure
that most dental offices can do.
At home teeth whitening kits involve a lot of extra time and effort. You need to
buy kits and spend a lot of time.
At a dentistry, bleaching is quicker and safer because it is performed by
professionals.
Most often, dentists use a special hydrogen peroxide gel and a special light
source to whiten faster.
Why teeth whitening?
The outermost and strongest layer of the tooth is enamel. Over time, the color
of this enamel will change. The color changes may be due to
- Normal aging and wearing
- Fluorosis (mild)
- Drug-induced stains
- Extrinsic or surfaces stains due to tea, coffee, wine and smoking.
