Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Our teeth are an important constituent of our aesthetic appearance and smile. It is not enough for the teeth to be set in type without any gaps and properly, we would also like their colour to be white and shiny on account of the mouth age to look young. Therefore it is important to have healthy and white teeth.

It is completely normal to have yellowness and stains on teeth in the process of time based upon your diet and other habits if you are not one of those lucky people who are born with naturally snow-white teeth. In line with this purpose, teeth bleaching treatment is one of the most frequently used aesthetic and hygienic methods that we turn up to within the scope of dentistry.

Teeth bleaching provides people who feel obliged to hide their teeth while smiling or laughing due to their yellow or stained teeth feel more comfortable in their social life and help them bring their confidence back along with being an extremely practical procedure with regards to oral health and smile aesthetics.

Why Do Teeth Go Yellow?

Such as our hair colour, our teeth colour is our genotype and our inborn trait. There are people that even though they brush their teeth on a regular basis and even abstain from the thing that might leave a stain and still complain about their teeth turning yellow, as there are people who have genetically white teeth without taking good care.

The saliva in respect to its chemical structure and some of our hormones have an influence over the colour of the teeth. And what’s more, conditions such as breast milk, disease or traumas that have an influence on the colour of the teeth might induce the teeth to go yellow at an early stage.

Though usually remaining incapable, brushing the teeth twice a day is a must of ensuring oral and dental health. More particularly if the below conditions that make way for stains on the teeth and induce them to become yellow are present:

  • Smoking
  • Tea and coffee addiction
  • Sugar consumption
  • Sacchariferous and fizzy drinks
  • Antibiotic use

Ideal Whiteness of Teeth

It is particularly considered important for the smile aesthetics to have whiter teeth. The kind of white teeth that we once considered as not being healthy, have nowadays become quite popular under the favour of popular smile designs such as the “Hollywood Smile” as we became more accustomed to seeing extreme white teeth.

Then what is the ideal teeth whiteness and how should it be done?

  • The whiteness of teeth colour should also match the colour of the gingiva and lip colour.
  • We can achieve a more aesthetic smile image with natural-looking white teeth rather than teeth that are extremely white and that look unnatural.
  • The colour of the light-transmitting ending part of the teeth with the ideal whiteness is by comparison more light coloured.

The aim of the dentists is to obtain a tone that is a couple of shades lighter than the existing teeth colour of the person after a determination process. We should not overdo teeth bleaching both for a more natural look and for whitening the teeth without harming them.

What is Teeth Bleaching?

In accordance with the purpose of removing the stains on the teeth enamel and dentin tissue of the teeth and whitening the colour of the teeth, bleaching is an aesthetic dentistry treatment that is performed by a dentist in a clinical environment.

It overshadows the aesthetic image of the teeth to have teeth stains and yellow teeth that might develop due to smoking, consuming tea and coffee or as side effects of some medication both inherently or afterwards. Stained and yellow teeth discomfort the person and leave a negative impression on other people.

With teeth bleaching, your aesthetic and hygienic anxieties considering your teeth colour are cleared off without harming the structure of the teeth, your teeth colour gets lighter, stains are removed, in the end, you get to have a whiter and shinier smile.

What are the Methods of Teeth Bleaching?

It is a professional procedure that should be practised by a doctor of dental medicine, however, there are some alternative home solutions such as teeth whitening pen, teeth whitening gel, teeth whitening tape etc.

How is Teeth Bleaching Done?

It is examined by the dentist how far can the teeth be bleached in a way to presume the teeth and the gingival health during the examination process before the bleaching procedure. Teeth whitening procedure is performed in those below two methods also in compliance with the expectations of the patient:

  • Bleaching Method

Bleaching is an effective teeth whitening method in dentistry. This method which we mention as the bleaching method is a clinical teeth whitening method that is applied in order to remove deeper stains and the effective colour variables on the inner layers of teeth.

Through the instrumentality of gels that include forms of peroxide and chemicals in pasty consistence, the teeth are cleaned and tinted. These are laser light supported applications. The effects can be observed instantly.

  • Apparatus/Tray Method 

Again this method that is known as tray or domestic type teeth whitening is a method that should be run dentist-controlled yet it is applied at home.

Dental impressions of the patient are taken and a dental plate is made personally. For 30-45 minutes, the dental plate that is filled with whitening gel stays in the patient’s mouth and that provides the whitening of the teeth. This method can be preferred to remove the yellowness of low degree and tiny and external stains.

Things to Take into Account After Teeth Bleaching Procedure 

The dentist may prescribe some medications or special paste in order to intensify the tooth enamel or eliminate gingival sensitivity in accordance with the structure of the teeth and the condition of the gingival after the procedure.

Since the procedure might cause albeit a low abrasion, a certain kind of sensitivity is comprised and as consequence, the teeth become more open to getting stained. Both in order to prevent this and intensify the tooth enamel, it is highly important to use the prescribed paste and perform the suggestions exactly.

  • Discontinue smoking, do not smoke for at least two days after the procedure
  • Do not consume drinks that might cause stains such as coffee, tea or wine for at least 48 hours.
  • Do not consume sacchariferous and fizzy drinks.
  • Stay away from sweet and coloured foods.
  • Do not consume too hot and too cold foods and drinks
  • As scratch brushing may harm your teeth, brush your teeth with slow and gentle moves.

What is the Permanence of Teeth Bleaching?

It determines the lifespan of your teeth whitening to comply with the warnings of your dentist and protect your teeth from getting stained after the teeth whitening procedure.

We can say that permanence of the teeth whitening process totally depends on which amount of care has the patient taken if the kind of teeth yellowing caused by saliva or oral secretion is not in question.

If we are to give an average permanence time, the number of patients that make use of this procedure, which lasts from 6 months to 2 years, for a longer time are of considerable amount. The primary reasons that shorten the lifespan of teeth bleaching are excessive smoking and tea and coffee addiction.

Is Teeth Bleaching Harmful?

The teeth bleaching procedure that is performed in clinical environments must be in a way that does not harm the teeth and the gingival.

If there are conditions such as gingival recession, abscess on the roots of the teeth that have not been noticed and gingival sensitivity and these are not treated before the teeth bleaching process, some problems such as tingling on the teeth and gingival sensitivity.

The teeth bleaching process that is performed by competent doctors of dental medicine has no side effects and it does not harm the teeth after being performed in a way to protect the health of the teeth and the gingival and the oral health is substituted.

It is an expected and completely normal condition to have short-termed and low severity sensitivity. This condition vanishes in a couple of days.
