Dental teeth whitening

Dental teeth whitening is, quite simply put, professional teeth bleaching, which wipes the stains and yellow off your teeth and helps give you a Hollywood white smile. It has been around for some time now and is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. While dental teeth whitening blurs the boundaries between general and cosmetic dentistry, at Coral Dental Care, Salem, we view dental teeth whitening as a cosmetic dental procedure because typically, patients opt to go to a teeth whitening dentist to improve their smile and not to get rid of a dental problem.

Teeth darkening, its causes, and remedies

Teeth darken with age primarily because of changes in the mineral structure of teeth. However, dietary habits, tobacco, liquids consumed, dental hygiene maintained, etc. can also accelerate or decelerate the yellowing and staining. Smoking, chewing tobacco, bacteria, acidic and spicy food, medications, caffeine, darker beverages, etc. accelerate the procedure. Tooth enamel becomes less porous with time, which also accelerates the yellowing. Traditionally, dental teeth whitening materials like hydrogen peroxide would be used to bleach the darkened teeth. However, teeth bleaching dentists at Coral Dental Care, Salem, with the aid of cosmetic dental procedures use much more sophisticated processes to ensure you have that perfect smile.

The treatment procedure

Dental teeth whitening at Coral Dental Care, Salem, is performed the traditional way with hydrogen peroxide as well as with advanced dental procedures like internal bleaching to help rid your teeth of discolouration and stains. In traditional dental teeth bleaching, carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide are used as the bleaching agents. If the bleaching gel contains carbamide peroxide, it breaks down in the mouth to form hydrogen peroxide. Each tooth is fully and evenly exposed to the bleaching gel with the help of plastic trays. The more sophisticated internal bleaching procedures in professional teeth bleaching brighten teeth from the inside out. This procedure helps whiten the teeth by removing fluids and blood that may have crept in the teeth through micro-cavities.
