The procedure may be carried out by a dentist in an office setting or by the patient at home under the supervision of a doctor. The workplace setting is another place where it is used. To achieve effective bleaching, hydrogen peroxide is used with high concentrations of carbamide peroxide.
How are teeth whitened? What techniques are used?
For teeth whitening, there are two techniques. These are home bleaching (bleaching) care and office (hospital/office) bleaching types. Method for office whitening It is the most effective teeth-whitening method used by dentists in offices and takes 45 to 55 minutes. A particular gel and laser beam source are used, and it is done under a doctor's supervision. Depending on the tooth structure, the color is brightened by 2-4 tones. The patient must frequently practice oral and dental hygiene after the surgery.
Home bleaching:
This safe method of teeth whitening is carried out at the patient's house by pouring gel into molds that have been made using the patient's measurements.
Internal bleaching :
also known as devitalization, non-vitalization, or root canal treatment. It is a method of internal tooth whitening. First, a root canal procedure is used to remove the pulp. The tooth is filled with sodium perborate. Discolorations are removed using sodium perborate, which also whitens teeth. After the procedure, there may be a brief period of tooth sensitivity, but it will pass in a few days. Depending on daily oral hygiene and eating habits, the treatment's longevity varies.
Why Do Teeth Turn Yellow?
Teeth can be yellow for several causes. The need to brush teeth twice daily with the proper technique should be emphasized from an early age. Oral and dental health is a long-term effort. As a result of the cumulative use of liquids like tea, coffee, and cola, teeth gradually lose their white color. With each brushing, part of the food and drink residues on the tooth enamel are eliminated, but residues are still present. The usage of tobacco products and cigarettes is another factor. In general, smoking interferes with oral hygiene and causes tartar to build up between the teeth, especially where the toothbrush cannot reach. Plaques clump together to form dental calculus (tartar).
What is Teeth Whitening? How Does Teeth Whitening Happen?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure. Yellowing of the teeth is seen in the enamel layer. The enamel layer is the hardest, richest in minerals, and is like a protective sheath for the lower layers of the tooth. There are no nerve cells in this layer, and it is a calcium-rich layer. The whitened layer of the tooth is enamel. Yellowing of teeth is caused by external (extrinsic) discolorations and internal (intrinsic) discolorations. Extrinsic discoloration usually develops due to poor oral-dental care, abundant consumption of (chromogenic) foods and beverages that cause discoloration, and tobacco use (cigarettes, pipes, cigars, etc.). These stains usually appear as a thin film on the tooth enamel. Substances that cause tooth yellowing, mostly because of the reaction between sugar and amino acids, accumulate on the tooth enamel.
Internal discolorations are seen due to aging, consumption of too much-fluoridated water, and the use of drugs that prevent calcification in teeth (or prevent homogeneous calcification) such as tetracycline.
Additionally, proteins found in saliva's structure adhere to calcium bridges to form plaques. Brushing with any toothpaste is sufficient during the early phases of color change. But with time, stains that are not fully eliminated by brushing develop a darker shade, altering the color of the teeth and resulting in permanent yellowing. Aging, drinking excessive amounts of fluoridated water, and using medications like tetracycline that stop tooth calcification (or homogenous calcification) can all cause internal discolorations.
Is every tooth white?
People who are dissatisfied with the color of their teeth either utilize items with purported "whitening" capabilities or see a dentist and request that they "whiten my teeth." In this case, the dentist's assessment is critical. The dentist assesses the reason for the color changes and the patient's expectations before communicating with the patient with a realistic assessment of the degree of whitening. In the presence of treatments, such as old coatings and fillings in the mouth, or at an older age, having white teeth is not possible.
Can You Combine Teeth Whitening Techniques?
Depending on the person's demands, teeth whitening can be scheduled utilizing a combination of sessions and procedures. The patient is instructed not to eat extremely hot or cold foods and not to drink anything that can stain between whitening treatments.
