Hydrogen Peroxide, the active ingredient in most whitening gels has been safely used for many years which has also been used in the treatment of gums and teeth.
The whitening process is effective on most discolored teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the tooth.
Bleaching is one of the most common procedures of dental cosmetics. It brightens teeth that are discolored, stained, or have been darkened because of injury or drinking habits. Any tooth, even those that have had root canal surgery, can receive bleaching treatment. This can be done by a dentist in the dental clinic.
There are two Type of Tooth Stains:
INTRINSIC STAINS (Internal stains):
This means the stain occurs from within the tooth. This type of stain cannot be removed by brushing and flossing and sometimes bleaching may not be effective. Some causes of intrinsic staining are injury to the tooth, certain medications (such as tetracycline) taken during tooth formation stage or an excess fluoride ingested during the formation of teeth.
EXTRINSIC STAINS (External stains):
This is staining of the tooth surface. Some sources of extrinsic stains coffee, tea , sodas, cigarettes, cigars, paan masala ,tobacco chewing, or foods that contain a lot of spices. This type of staining can sometimes be removed by good tooth brushing habits or by professional oral prophylaxis (scaling).
Occasionally people experience temporary discomfort during the bleaching treatment, such as tooth sensitivity. These symptoms are transient and disappear within a few days to a week after completion of the treatment. We do recommend the regimen to be followed before and after the whitening therapy to decrease the sensitivity post operatively. It is important that the manufacturer's directions are followed precisely. Overall, tooth bleaching under professional supervision is an effective method for whitening the teeth.
Bleaching is used to enhance your smile by brightening your existing natural teeth. Bleaching will not make crowns, Veneers/Laminates, bonding or existing fillings lighter. If you bleach and have these type of restorations in your smile line you may want to have these changed after you bleach. When you start to bleach we typically have you bleach your upper and lower teeth .
