About Teeth Whitening
Improving the brightness of your teeth can be achieved through teeth whitening or bleaching. There are various options to choose from, including whitening toothpastes, rinses, strips, gels, professional treatments, and take-home kits. Dentists offer the most effective and safe teeth whitening methods, using professional-grade systems with stronger whitening agents applied under their supervision. While over-the-counter products may work well for individuals with good oral health, they could pose risks if there are underlying dental problems.
How does a teeth whitening work?
There are two main types of whitening products: peroxide-based bleaching agents and whitening toothpastes. Peroxide-based systems, such as those using carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, work by breaking down discolored molecules through a chemical reaction to eliminate deep stains and discoloration. The strength of the bleaching agent used determines how effective and safe the treatment will be.
