One of today's aesthetic problems is the color of the teeth. Who wouldn't want whiter teeth? It is one of the first conditions that people who want to have teeth whitening do not have sensitivity to cold and hot. If the stains on the teeth are due to drug use or congenital stains, the result after bleaching may not be of the desired size. Nutritional stains (tea, cigarette, coffee, chocolate, red drinks, etc.) achieve good results with teeth whitening. These coloring foods should not be consumed in the first 3 days of bleaching. The bleaching process is not at the upper level of the tooth as it is thought, but it is a process that concerns the yellow layer (dentin) inside the tooth. Whitening drugs applied in the office lighten the color of dentine in the tooth. The upper layer of the tooth is colorless like glass and reflects the color of this layer inside. Brushing by abrading to whiten the teeth is in vain. It cleans only superficial stains. Whitening whitens the yellow layer inside the tooth. The application is completed by applying 3 times a day with the sessions for 15 minutes.
It should be repeated 6 months or once a year. It is also supported by home whitening applied at home. Drug drops can be sprayed into a personalized plaque and interim bleaching can be done at home once every 3 months. If there is excessive sensitivity during the process, the process will not continue. In order for the whiteness to be permanent, regular bleaching is required for 3 years.
The degree of whitening of the teeth varies from person to person, primarily depending on their initial color. While yellow-toned teeth can easily bleach 2-6 shades; Teeth with a green or gray shade are more difficult to whiten.
After carefully protecting the gums and surrounding tissues such as tongue and lips, bleaching treatment should be started. The intensity of the drug used and the duration of use should be adjusted correctly.
During or after the tooth whitening procedure, patients may occasionally complain of mild sensitivity. The important thing is that the steps required by the treatment are performed completely and correctly.
When tooth whitening is performed by dentists, it is a harmless and very effective method.
