What is Teeth Whitening? 

Healthy and white teeth are of great aesthetic importance today. Teeth whitening is the process of removing colored organic and inorganic substances on the surface of the teeth with tooth whitening gels. Teeth whitening is used when teeth are discolored due to internal or external reasons. 

Why Do Teeth Lose Their Whiteness? 

Structural disorders that occur during childhood, some antibiotics exposed to during infancy or while in the womb, foods and beverages consumed in daily life (coloring substances such as cigarettes, tea and coffee), and the amount of fluoride in drinking water can cause discoloration of teeth. 

Why Do Teeth Lose Their Whiteness? 

After the food residues accumulated on the teeth, stains caused by tea, coffee, cigarette use and brushing habits are removed, and the tartar and plaque are cleaned in the office, the teeth are prepared for the teeth whitening process. The gums are isolated, medicine is applied to the teeth, and the blue light used in irradiated fillings is applied to them to increase the effectiveness of the medicine. The process is terminated when the desired whiteness is achieved after repeated sessions. If the tooth color is desired to be close to white and lighter by a few shades, only laser or home whitening may be sufficient. However, if there is a lot of discoloration on the teeth due to smoking, coffee or tea, the combined teeth whitening method is more effective. In order to decide on the appropriate teeth whitening method for the person, a doctor's examination is required.  

Who Can Have Teeth Whitening? 

Before the whitening procedure, the person must undergo a dentist examination. Those with advanced cavities and gum disease in their mouth should have the whitening process applied after having their treatment done by their dentist. Apart from this, teeth whitening is not recommended for people who have not completed their growth and development, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Teeth whitening treatment does not give the same results for everyone; How much the tooth color will be lightened may vary depending on the structure of the tooth. 

How Long Does the Effect of Whitening Last? 

The whitening process varies depending on the person's tooth structure and himself and remains constant for approximately 6 months to 2 years. After the procedure, substances that stain the teeth should be avoided for at least two weeks.
