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 trustworthy teeth whitening methods, using professional-grade systems with higher concentrations of whitening agents applied under expert supervision. While over-the-counter products can work well for individuals with healthy teeth and gums, they may be harmful 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, using carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, are meant to remove deep stains and discoloration by breaking down discolored molecules through a chemical reaction. The effectiveness and safety of these treatments depend on the concentration of the bleaching agent.
