What is Teeth Whitening? How is it applied?

For many people, having a white and healthy smile is important. In the aesthetic perception of people, the white appearance of the teeth creates a healthy perception. As a result, it is important to teeth whitening applications. In this article, we have compiled what you need to know about teeth whitening. All the details you need to know about teeth whitening are waiting for you in the rest of our article.

What is Teeth Whitening?

In daily life, yellowing and darkening of the teeth can be seen with the effect of various factors such as coffee, tea and cigarettes. This color change can cause undesirable images. In such cases, the treatment method that helps the teeth appear whiter is called teeth whitening.

Why Do Teeth Turn Yellow?

Yellowing of teeth occurs in two ways. We can list them as follows:

  • External Discoloration: In case of external chemical exposure to the tooth surface due to consumption of tea, coffee, cigarettes, food-coloured foods and beverages, yellowing or darkening of the teeth may occur. Teeth whitening techniques targeting the tooth surface are more effective in such problems.
  • Color Change from the Inside: The destruction of the tissues in the tooth or the presence of health problems that cause loss of function cause discoloration. It can be seen in conditions such as febrile diseases, trauma to the tooth, drug use, infection, caries and aging, which are generally experienced during the growth and development period of the teeth. This type of discoloration requires professional-grade teeth whitening techniques.

Teeth whitening methods are divided into two:

  • Teeth whitening performed in the office environment: It is a fast and effective teeth whitening system that lightens the tooth color by at least 3 to 4 shades in a short time with the help of whitening gel and light.
  • Teeth whitening at home: A gel is put into the plaques prepared specifically for the person with the measurement taken from the mouth. With these gels, whitening is achieved in an average of 5 to 7 days. For this, the person needs to wear the plastic mouthpieces for 4 to 8 hours a day. In this way, it is possible to lighten the gum color.

Who Can Have Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening can be applied to people who do not have any tooth or gum disease. However, people who want a whitening procedure should first be examined. In addition, patients with advanced dental caries in the mouth should be treated first. In addition, teeth whitening cannot be applied to people who have not completed their growth and development, as well as pregnant and lactating mothers.

How Long Does the Effect of Teeth Whitening Process Last?

The permanence of the result obtained from the teeth whitening process varies depending on the patient’s tooth structure. Still, it can remain stable for 6 months to 2 years. This period may vary depending on the patient’s lifestyle and diet. For example, after teeth whitening for at least two weeks, foods and drinks that can stain the teeth should be avoided.

What Should Be Considered After Teeth Whitening?

There are some factors that should be considered after teeth whitening. We can list these elements as follows:

  • Temporary sensitivity of the teeth may occur. For this reason, cold and hot food and beverages should be avoided during the first few days.
  • Painkillers can be used in case of pain.
  • Smoking should not be used on the first day.
  • Foods and beverages containing coloring substances such as tea, coffee, cigarettes, sour cherries and tomato paste should be avoided for at least 3 to 4 days.
  • Using whitening paste as toothpaste will further prolong the effect of whitening. What should be noted is; Toothpaste does not contain abrasives.
  • Teeth should be brushed twice a day and regular dental check-ups at 6-month intervals should not be interrupted.
