Teeth whitening is a procedure that brightens your smile and removes surface stains. Teeth whitening is the process of treating yellowed teeth, stained teeth from tobacco use, or discolored teeth from drinking too much dark tea, coffee, or wine. It is safe, economical, and effective.
If your teeth are stained, a smile makeover from Teeth and Co. might be just what you need.
What is the process for teeth whitening?
Understanding the various teeth-whitening products’ functions, such as those of mouthwash, toothpaste, trays, gels, and strips, can be difficult. All of these things, though, are based on the same fundamental principles.
The active ingredient in almost all teeth-whitening products is a peroxide; carbamide or hydrogen peroxide are the most common types. Peroxides are made up of oxygen molecules that undergo a reaction when they come into contact with discolored teeth.
The chemical “bonds” that hold discolored molecules together are broken when peroxides interact with them. They are able to effectively “bleach” the teeth by removing the surface stains from the tooth enamel!
What Problems Can Whitening Teeth Help With?
Most tooth discolorations can be treated with teeth whitening, including:
- Yellowing caused by getting older
- Tobacco smoke causes teeth to discolor.
- Teeth can be stained by tannin-containing foods and beverages such as wine, coffee, tea, and berries.
- Stains and discoloration caused by poor dental hygiene
External, or extrinsic, stains can only be eliminated by teeth whitening. Teeth that have internal stains, or intrinsic stains, cannot be whitened. For additional information on the various cosmetic dentistry procedures available to treat hidden tooth stains, get in touch with Dr. Neal Rosenberg.
