What is Teeth Whitening?

    Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at brightening the color of the teeth, removing yellow and brown stains caused by food, beverages, tobacco, or aging. This method helps you achieve a whiter, more natural smile and a brighter appearance.


    Common Teeth Whitening Methods:

    At-Home Whitening: Your dentist will provide you with a tray and whitening gel for you to perform the treatment at home.

    In-Office Whitening: The dentist will use specialized lights to activate the whitening agents, resulting in faster whitening of the teeth.

    Considerations to Keep in Mind Before Teeth Whitening

    To ensure safety before whitening your teeth, you should pay attention to the following issues:

    Teeth whitening results are not long-lasting

    After undergoing teeth whitening, your teeth will remain bright for approximately 6 months to 1 year. After this period, they may become yellow or dull again due to the effects of food, beverages, and general care.

    Although modern technology is used in teeth whitening today, unwanted side effects such as sensitivity, discomfort, or pain can still occur due to tooth sensitivity. If the discomfort is too intense, you should discuss it with your dentist to receive appropriate pain relief medication.

    Frequent teeth whitening can lead to prolonged sensitivity and weaken your teeth. It is best to have your teeth whitened 1 to 2 times a year as recommended by your dentist.

    If the teeth are too severely discolored or heavily stained by tetracycline before whitening, they may not be able to be whitened effectively.
