English
● Teeth whitening is a dental cosmetic procedure used for improving the colour of the teeth. In this process, teeth are bleached by the use of bleaching gels, lasers or whitening systems like zoom and flash.
● The main component of bleaching gel is hydrogen peroxide and its percentage varies according to the product. The percentage of hydrogen peroxide in-home products is 10% while the ones used at the dental office have 25% hydrogen peroxide.
● The hydrogen peroxide breaks down after the chemical reaction and oxygen molecules are released which enters the tooth surface and causes oxidation of stains. Oxidation of stains results in the removal of stains from the tooth surface.
● An advanced in-office teeth whitening system also uses special lights or lasers to increase the efficacy of the bleaching process.
● Lamp or laser activation of hydrogen peroxide results in painless, sensitivity-free and long-lasting teeth whitening.
● Stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine and coloured cold drinks
● Stains caused by smoking cigarettes and tobacco chewing
● Staining of teeth due to poor oral hygiene
● Whitening of the natural yellow shade of teeth for a smile makeover
● Discolouration of teeth due to trauma or excessive fluoride content in water
● Discolouration of teeth due to abnormalities of the tooth enamel
Visit to the dental office is recommended when :
● When you start noticing the stains even after regular brushing. Maintaining good oral hygiene.
● You have tried in-home bleach and over the counter methods like whitening toothpaste with low to no effect on stains.
