TEETH WHITENING
For various reasons, the process of clarifying the color of the darkened teeth is called tooth whitening. The substances such as hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, in the bleaching gel react with the hard tooth texture, to provide oxidation (opening of the tooth, bleaching).
Whitening treatment is a preferred type of treatment for young and adult patients. This application can be applied to healthy mouths, otherwise it may develop tooth sensitivity. For this reason, the dentist can perform bleaching after removing caries, abrasions and gum discomfort.
Bleaching is known to be particularly successful in individuals with yellow-toned teeth. The whitening rate depends on the tone of our teeth before the bleaching procedure is applied and varies from person to person.
Before tooth whitening, caries need to be treated. The reason for this is that the bleaching solution can pass through the carious areas and reach the inner parts of the tooth. If this happens, the sensitivity in the tooth increases. Whitening also does not work on roots that do not have enamel. The extracted gums cause the roots to appear. Whitening does not work in crowns or coatings.
