In our society today, many people are becoming

Mass media shows people the importance of having
white teeth because it could make you look more
attractive. You often see in the television ads,

faces of celebrities who often flash out their
wonderful and bright smiles which makes you think
that you also want to be as attractive as
them.Whenever you talk to someone what do you
notice first?

The way they smile? How white are their teeth?
Thats because nowadays, having white teeth
doesnt boost your esthetic appearance, but it
also boosts your self-confidence and self-worth
as well. People with brighter smiles often leave
a good lasting first impression,

thus making them more noticeable during college
interviews and eventually in job interviews as
they progress in life. A set of whiter teeth also
helps you attract a potential love interest and a
life partner later in life.Teeth whitening is a
cosmetic dental procedure that
6
lightens and removes stain or discoloration in
your teeth. Sometimes people undergo this
treatment just to for the sake of achieving
brighter smiles like the ones worn by their
favorite celebrities. Normally, your teeth are
milky white in color however as you age, the
enamel of your tooth wears out because of daily
use.

The enamel then becomes translucent and overtime,
your teeth become darker or appear to be
yellowish in color. There are other factors that
affect the color of your teeth. Foods and
beverages with high sugar and acidic content and
staining properties such as tannins and
8
polyphenols can discolor teeth with frequent use.
Bad habits such as smoking and chewing tobacco
can also stain your teeth.Together with your
dentist, you may want to discuss what kind of
whitening procedure is best suited for you.

Teeth whitening may be achieved through the use
of over-the-counter teeth whitening products such
as toothpastes, strips, gels and even mouth
rinses. These products contain hydrogen peroxide
to whiten the teeth. Your dentist may also
prescribe you teeth whitening trays to whiten
your teeth.

The tray is a custom fit mouth guard where a
concentrated whitening gel is placed and applied
on the teeth. The tray is left for a duration as
instructed by your dentist. The duration depends
on the extent of discoloration or how white you
want your teeth to be.
11
Another professionally assisted teeth whitening
procedure is the in-office whitening. This
procedure is done in clinics and often takes
several visits to achieve the desired whitening
results.You and your dentist will have to decide
how white you want your teeth to be.

Normally, your dentist will prescribe you to have
just a few shades lighter than your original
teeth color so that it will still look natural.
