Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening, also known as bleaching, is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures used to enhance the brightness of your smile. The concept of teeth whitening dates back to the ancient Egyptians, who used a mixture of ground pumice and wine vinegar applied with a simple toothbrush to improve the appearance of their teeth.
There are many reasons why people may require teeth whitening. Tooth discoloration can occur due to ageing, frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and other dark-coloured beverages, tobacco use, certain medications, excessive fluoride exposure, and the use of tetracycline antibiotics during childhood. All of these factors can contribute to your smile losing its natural whiteness and brightness over time.
Teeth whitening is a safe, simple, and effective procedure when performed under professional supervision. Whitening products generally contain one of two bleaching agents — Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide. These bleaching agents break down stains into smaller particles, making the colour less concentrated and leaving your teeth looking noticeably brighter and whiter.
The most common reasons for teeth becoming yellow or stained include:
- Using tobacco products.
- Poor oral hygiene and not taking proper care of your teeth.
- Drinking dark-coloured beverages such as coffee, cola, tea, and red wine.
