Teeth color and appearance cause many people to be self-conscious and sometimes insecure about smiling or even talking.

Teeth whiteningis a procedure that aims to give your teeth a lighter color, either to enhance the natural color or if turned yellow, brown, or if they are stained.

By visiting your dentist and making a consultation, you will know whether you are a good candidate for the procedure after you discuss the condition of your teeth generally.

If you have any preexisting conditions, the suitable type of treatment will be determined.

The treatment plan must be recommended by a dentist and carried out by either a dentist or a dental professional who is regulated for you to avoid complications and ensure excellent results.

The risks aligned with teeth whitening vary, first of all, sensitivity, especially if you have chosen in-office bleaching.

The sensitivity after bleaching could be from temperatures or pressure, the risk of high sensitivity increases for those with gum recession or people who suffer from issues with their teeth restoration procedures, or teeth cracks.

Another risk could be gum irritation, which most likely could be accompanied by using trays and gels, and it should stop after finishing the treatment.

But before opting for any method of teeth whitening, ask your dentist before getting the treatment about the best possible results and what is most suitable for you according to the condition of your teeth and overall teeth and gum health to ensure the best results are attained.

The difference between the two terms, bleaching and whitening, is intricate.

Whitening is about removing debris and stains or permanent marks from the tooth’s surface to restore its natural color eventually.

While bleaching aims at whitening teeth for the determined shade that would be lighter than the natural color of teeth.

Teeth bleaching depends on whitening agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, while whitening teeth could depend on Prophy paste or toothpaste.

It is vital to address the fact that not all teeth are susceptible to different whitening agents, in the same way; hence, the results vary from one person to another according to your teeth natural composition.

Even if you follow certain habits routinely that can affect the color of your teeth, such as smoking, you cannot expect to get the same results as someone who does not.

Even if you whiten your teeth, the final color after the procedure will not last as long as desired.

Keep in mind, the general rule you might want to follow is to have your teeth as close as possible to the whites of your eyes, because most dentists consider this to be the most natural-looking shade, and it remains in harmony with the rest of the face.

Teeth whitening begins by using the teeth whitening shade guide by your dentist; it is a simulation of prosthetic porcelain or plastic teeth.

First, determine the shade of your teeth before the treatment, and then decide which shade is best suited for you as a result, it is usually two or three shades lighter than the natural, untreated color of teeth.

Teeth whitening might do not work if you have dental crowns, veneers, or dentures.

And in these cases, you might want to do regular cleaning if there are stains because the composition of such restoration does not respond to the whitening materials.

There are many options to whiten a single tooth that has been root-filled. Still, the most efficient method in the case of root-filled teeth is the inside-outside method, the procedure will start by drilling a small hole into the discolored tooth from the back-side, and will get the whitening product to the center of the tooth which is called the pulp chamber.

The pulp chamber of the root canal tooth will restore the brightness and have no more stains or discoloration, and then will be sealed again to avoid leakage of the whitening agent.

Teeth whiteningis incredibly popular and demanded, which led to many misconceptions about it.

The validity of many teeth whitening products in the markets is questionable, one of them being the home whitening kits, which carry some risks to their users.

It is best to go to a dental professional only when choosing to get your teeth whitened.

Teeth whitening kits do not guarantee you are getting the right shade.

You will most likely misuse the mouth guard because the ready-made ones are not designed to fit everyone, and this will cause leakage in the bleaching gel, which is risky for your dental health; also, the amount of whitening product in the home whitening kits is most likely ineffective.

The in-office bleaching procedure takes about one hour, and, in some cases, up to ninety minutes, it depends on your teeth condition and how stained they are.

Teeth whitening might take you up to three visits to the dental center.

As for the strips and gels method, it requires more time to see the full results; and once you wore the trays with the applied gel it works on breaking down the discolored molecules and bringing the natural bright color of the teeth, it is applied and worn for several hours from three days and up to two weeks.

After whitening, Teeth will preserve the obtained color after the treatment if you take care of your teeth correctly from six months up to one year.

Still, if you are a smoker and consume sugar-filled drinks, coffee, or any other products that affect your teeth’ color, the results will not last as long as one month.

The general dental health maintenance tips are applicable if you have chosen to whiten your teeth; these include avoiding colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and wine, especially the week following the teeth whitening treatment.

Quitting smoking is not only beneficial for your dental health, the appearance of teeth, and their color, but also for your health in general, so if you are determined to keep your teeth white after the treatment, benefit from that and do yourself a favor by quitting smoking altogether.

Following ethical hygiene rules (brushing, flossing regularly),using potassium nitrate-rich toothpaste for people who have highly sensitive teeth. And most importantly, regularly visiting the dentist at least twice a year.
