Title: Teeth Whitening Treatment


1
Teeth Whitening Treatment
2
What Is It?
  • Teeth Whitening Treatment lightens teeth and
    helps to remove stains and discoloration.
    Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic
    dental procedures because it can greatly improve
    how your teeth look. Most dentists perform tooth
    whitening.

3
What its used for?
  • The color of natural teeth is created by the
    reflection and scattering of light off the
    enamel, combined with the color of the dentin
    under it. Your genes affect the thickness and
    smoothness of the enamel. Thinner enamel allows
    more of the color of the dentin to show through.
    Having smoother or rougher enamel also affects
    the reflection of light and therefore the color.

4
Reasons
  • The most common reasons for teeth to get yellow
    or stained are
  • Using tobacco
  • Drinking dark-colored liquids such as coffee,
    cola, tea and red wine
  • Not taking good care of your teeth
  • Aging makes teeth less bright as the enamel gets
    thinner and the dentin becomes darker.

5
How its Done?
  • There are two main types of whitening procedures.
    Vital whitening is performed on teeth that have
    live nerves. Non-vital whitening is done on a
    tooth that has had root-canal treatment and no
    longer has a live nerve.

6
Can yellow teeth be whitened?
  • Additionally, plaque build-up on your teeth
    can cause them to look yellow. This type of
    stain can usually be treated with regular
    cleaning and whitening remedies. However,
    sometimes teeth look yellow because the hard
    enamel has eroded away, revealing the dentin
    underneath.

7
What not to do after Teeth Whitening?
  • Avoid any dark staining drinks
  • like Tea, Coffee, Red Wine,
  • colored soft or alcoholic drinks
  • and fruit juice.
  • Avoid all dark staining foods like Bolognese, soy
    sauce, red meat, chocolate and all fruit except
    bananas.

8
Does Teeth Whitening weaken teeth?
  • Prolonged use of home whitening products
    may weaken the surface of the enamel, making it
    more vulnerable to acid damage or wear.
    Once teeth have been whitened, you don't have to
    keep on whitening them, but the effects will
    gradually fade over time.

9
Advantages
  • Teeth whitening boosts your self confidence.
  • It enhances your appearance.
  • It minimizes the look of
  • wrinkles.
  • Teeth whitening doesn't
  • Break the bank.
