Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening, also known as tooth bleaching, is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the color of the teeth and removing stains and discoloration. It is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments, offering a relatively quick and non-invasive way to enhance the appearance of the smile.

Here's an overview of teeth whitening:

• Candidates for Teeth Whitening:
  
• Teeth whitening is generally suitable for individuals with healthy teeth and gums who are looking to address extrinsic stains caused by factors such as aging, tobacco use, consumption of staining foods and beverages, or poor oral hygiene.
• It may not be effective for intrinsic stains, which are discolorations that occur within the tooth structure and may require other cosmetic dental treatments such as veneers or bonding.
• Aftercare:
  
• After teeth whitening, patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, which usually resolves on its own.
• It's essential to avoid consuming staining foods and beverages (such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries) immediately after whitening to maintain results.
• Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, can help prolong the effects of teeth whitening.
