Teeth Whitening

White teeth can help boost confidence and make you look younger. However, it can be difficult to keep your teeth white as they get discolored due to foods and drinks such as red wine, coffee, and harmful habits such as smoking. To help restore your pearly whites to their original color, you can go to the dentist or work on some remedies from home. One of the ways to achieve this is through teeth whitening. It is commonly known as teeth bleaching/whitening treatment. Many teeth whitening products and systems can be used at home on healthy teeth that have not undergone any prior restoration. Yellowing teeth respond best to these treatments.

Whitening Strips and Whitening Gels

Teeth whitening can be done with strips and gels which have peroxide in them. If you are using this treatment at home, it is best to carefully follow the product’s instructions to get the desired results or discuss it with your dentist. You can expect to see a difference in the first few days to weeks.

Whitening Toothpaste

Typically, toothpaste contains mild abrasives meant to aid in removing surface stains from the teeth. However, whitening toothpaste contains abrasives and other chemical agents that provide additional stain removal.

They contain hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide that can whiten teeth by two to eight shades.

Tooth Whitening for Sensitive Teeth

It is possible to whiten your teeth even if you have sensitive teeth. However, you may need to take extra precautions before taking any steps with whitening products. You should see the dentist before attempting any solutions at home.

The doctor will examine you and determine if there are other problems before you do the tooth whitening.

Also, the dentist can help you by giving a desensitization treatment if you simply have sensitive teeth, or prescribe an anti-sensitivity toothpaste to use prior to whitening. After this, the dentist will tell you if it is right to proceed with tooth whitening.

A More Confident Smile

There aren’t any direct health benefits of whitening teeth. However, there are other advantages. For instance, if you whiten your pearly whites, there is a chance that you will pay more attention to your dental health as it will be part of your hygiene routine. Additionally, white teeth help to boost your confidence and raise your self-esteem.

By choosing to carry out teeth whitening, you choose a healthier, more confident version of yourself.

As you whiten your pearls, ensure you continue to brush and floss every day and take healthy foods that contain calcium to prevent enamel erosion.
