About Teeth Whitening
Enhancing the whiteness of your teeth can be done through teeth whitening or bleaching. There are multiple choices available, such as whitening toothpastes, rinses, strips, gels, professional treatments, and take-home kits. Dentists provide the most reliable and efficient teeth whitening techniques, utilizing professional-grade systems with stronger whitening agents applied under professional guidance. While over-the-counter products may be effective for those with healthy teeth and gums, they could potentially be harmful if there are underlying dental issues.
How does a teeth whitening work?
Two primary types of whitening products are available: peroxide-based bleaching agents and whitening toothpastes. Peroxide-based systems, which utilize carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, work by breaking down discolored molecules through a chemical reaction to remove deep stains and discoloration. The concentration of the bleaching agent determines the effectiveness and safety of these treatments.
