What is the process of teeth whitening?
A number of individuals suffer from discoloration of their teeth, which manifests itself either as yellowing or darkening over time. In response to this problem, they are looking for teeth whitening as a suitable and effective solution.
Teeth whitening involves lightening dark teeth by means of a laser directed at the enamel layer or by applying certain chemical agents, which can be used either in a dental facility or at home.
What different teeth whitening methods are available?
Teeth whitening is carried out in clinics and dental centers using a range of methods, including professional and home techniques, each of which has different levels of safety:
- Laser bleaching is the most optimal method, since it does not provoke allergic reactions inside the enamel layer or erosion of the outer surface of the teeth.
- Alternatively, an optical zoom device can be used, in which the treating dentist uses the zoom device to emit light on the tooth surface, which ultimately leads to discoloration and lightening of the teeth.
- Chemical bleaching (specifically using hydrogen peroxide) is the least safe method, as it may lead to certain complications such as increased sensitivity of the teeth.
- There is the option of teeth whitening at home, in which the patient follows a specific prescription or uses whitening toothpaste to achieve the desired color. However, this method has its drawbacks, such as the long duration it requires and the possibility of enamel erosion if not used correctly.
Laser teeth whitening
- Teeth whitening through the use of a laser has become widely popular all over the world. Previously, she was limited only to artists and celebrities, which earned her the nickname “Hollywood smile”. However, now anyone can take part in this interesting and successful medical procedure, which effectively eliminates tooth discoloration by going from a yellow layer to a shiny white one, resulting in snow-white teeth.
- Laser teeth whitening is the perfect solution for individuals with sensitive teeth, as it not only reduces pain and inflammation, but also prevents bleeding gums. Moreover, this whitening technique is safer for both gums and teeth, and provides many advantages.
- One of the outstanding advantages of laser teeth whitening is the time it saves while delivering realistic results. Unlike other methods, it does not require a long operation and is considered the most modern method in the field of teeth whitening, characterized by high levels of safety.
- The procedure of laser teeth whitening is now popular. It involves a specialist dentist who applies a protective substance to the gums, followed by the application of bleaching agents, which contain an essential element known as hydrogen peroxide.
- This special component does not pose any harm to human health. Once the agents are applied, a laser device is used to start the teeth whitening process. The whole procedure usually lasts from thirty minutes to an hour and is completely painless. The laser device is aimed directly at the teeth, which ensures that patients do not experience any discomfort.
- The effects and appearance of laser teeth whitening can last for one to three years, provided that individuals adhere to the instructions provided. After this period of time, individuals will be honored with a stunning Hollywood smile.
Is Teeth Whitening a permanent solution?
No, teeth whitening is not a permanent solution because its effects usually last for one to two years.
To maintain the desired color tone, the teeth whitening procedure can be repeated at different intervals.
What is the effectiveness of teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is widely practiced in cosmetic dentistry and leads to varying results depending on the color of the individual’s teeth and external factors.
In general, it is known that the whitening process lightens teeth by 4 to 8 degrees.
Causes of tooth discoloration and why do they turn yellow ?
The dark color of the teeth can be attributed to issues related to the development of enamel. Genetic factors, the use of certain medications during pregnancy, excessive use of toothpaste at an early age are the main reasons behind this type of yellowing.
External factors, such as smoking, excessive consumption of coffee and air conditioners, as well as certain foods such as beets that lead to the accumulation of pigments on the surface of the teeth, also contribute to yellowing of the teeth
Are there any natural remedies for teeth whitening?
Some individuals choose natural remedies to whiten their teeth, including apple cider vinegar, banana peels, a teaspoon of baking soda, bleaching products, and even salt to change their color and lighten their appearance.
However, it is not recommended to rely on these remedies because they can cause erosion and erosion of the outer layers of the teeth, increased tooth sensitivity, acid erosion and enamel decay.
Is it safe to undergo teeth whitening during pregnancy or lactation?
Under normal circumstances, the mother and fetus do not face any risks when it comes to teeth whitening during pregnancy. However, it is recommended to postpone the bleaching process until after childbirth to ensure the health of the mother during pregnancy and for the duration of bleaching treatment.
Is teeth whitening suitable for every patient?
After conducting a clinical examination and reviewing the patient’s medical history, the dentist will determine the most appropriate method of teeth whitening.
It is important to note that some cases do not respond well to the bleaching process, such as gray teeth, enamel erosion and more complex cases of tooth discoloration.
Things to avoid when trying to whiten your teeth:
- – Individuals under the age of 16 should refrain from bleaching procedures.
- – Those who have sensitive teeth should be careful.
- – Individuals who are allergic to any of the ingredients contained in the bleaching agents should avoid trying to whiten their teeth.
- – Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid teeth whitening.
- – Patients with inflammation or gum disease should postpone any whitening treatments.
- – If the root of the tooth is visible, bleaching should be avoided.
