Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the use of bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten the color of your teeth. These agents work by breaking down stains on the enamel, often caused by coffee, tea, smoking, or food. While it is effective for surface stains, it may not address discoloration from certain medications or genetics. Whitening treatments can be done at home with over-the-counter products or in-office by a dentist using stronger bleaching solutions. Although safe when done professionally, whitening may cause tooth sensitivity in some individuals, so it’s essential to follow expert guidance.
Teeth whitening results typically last from six months to two years, depending on lifestyle habits like smoking or drinking coffee. To maintain a bright smile, it's important to avoid stain-causing foods and beverages, and regular touch-ups may be recommended. Your dentist can offer guidance on how often to refresh your treatment.
Yes, teeth whitening is safe when performed under the supervision of a dental professional. Over-the-counter products can cause damage to your enamel if misused or overused. Professional whitening ensures the proper concentration of bleaching agents and minimizes the risk of tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
Some individuals may experience mild tooth sensitivity during or after whitening treatments. This is typically temporary and resolves within a few days. Your dentist can provide solutions to manage sensitivity, such as fluoride treatments or using a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth.
Teeth discoloration can be caused by several factors, including age, diet, tobacco use, and certain medications. Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and wine are common culprits. Additionally, genetics and poor dental hygiene can lead to a duller appearance over time. Professional whitening can help restore your teeth’s natural brightness.
