Teeth whitening is an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure that can lighten the natural color of your teeth and enhance your smile. However, it is not suitable for everyone.
How does teeth whitening work?
Whitening uses specialized products containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide, applied to the teeth to remove surface stains and alter the enamel’s color. Results vary depending on the original tooth color and type of stains.
Who can benefit from whitening?
- Adults with good oral health.
- People with teeth discolored by age, coffee, tea, tobacco, or certain medications.
- Patients without visible restorations (crowns or veneers) on front teeth, as these do not whiten.
Who should avoid whitening?
- Children and adolescents with developing teeth.
- People with untreated dental issues (cavities, gum disease).
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Tips for optimal results
- Maintain rigorous oral hygiene before and after the session.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks for a few days after treatment.
- Follow your dentist’s instructions for any follow-up sessions if needed.
