The term ‘teeth whitening’ strictly speaking is a misnomer. This is because the natural color of teeth is never perfectly white. It is a combination of white and yellow in varying proportions. Broadly, the procedure aims at restoring the natural white color of the teeth.
Bleaching can be done by the dentist in the dental clinic or at home by various commercially available bleaching kits. However, before directly jumping to the home bleaching, it is important that a dentist be consulted. This is important since home bleaching products may not be effective or indicated for every individual. Generally, the first bleaching is done at the dental office, with the follow-up being done by the home bleaching products. However, from a safety point of view and for best results both home and office bleaching should be monitored by the dentist.
What are the reasons for yellow and discolored teeth?
Teeth present with 2 types of stains:
Extrinsic Stains: These stains are caused by
- Tea and coffee
- Cigarettes
- Pan masala and other tobacco products
- Spicy food containing lots of red chilies and turmeric
Since these stains are of exogenous origin, they can be removed by bleaching.
Intrinsic stains: These stains are of developmental origin being incorporated within the structure of the tooth. These stains are caused by factors which operate at the time when the tooth is being formed. Common factors responsible for intrinsic staining include
- Drinking of water with high fluoride content
- Ingestion of Tetracycline medication
- Injury to the tooth
Bleaching does effect these stains too but the effect varies depending on the severity of the clinical condition.
What are the benefits of teeth whitening?
