FAQs About Tooth Whitening
Understanding Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth by removing stains from the enamel and dentin. A popular method involves using carbamide peroxide with a custom-fitted mouthguard.
Causes of Tooth Discoloration
Tooth discoloration can arise from various sources, which can be categorized as either external or internal:
- External Stains: These come from substances such as tobacco, coffee, tea, and certain juices like grape and apple.
- Internal Stains: These result from factors such as excessive fluoride during tooth formation, aging, dental trauma, nerve degeneration, and antibiotics like tetracycline.
Professional whitening treatments, including custom tray bleaching, are effective in addressing both types of stains. Over-the-counter products, like whitening toothpastes, typically focus only on external stains.
Who is a Candidate for Tooth Whitening?
Most individuals can benefit from tooth whitening. However, the effectiveness may vary, especially for those with tetracycline stains or dental restorations like veneers, crowns, or fillings, which do not lighten in the same way as natural teeth.
Tooth Whitening for Pregnant or Nursing Women
It is generally advised that pregnant or nursing women avoid tooth whitening procedures, as there are no definitive studies on their safety during these times.
Uneven Whitening
Some areas of your teeth may whiten more quickly than others, particularly the sides and biting edges, due to thicker enamel. With continued treatment, overall whiteness should even out.
Safety of Tooth Whitening
Custom-fit tray bleaching with carbamide peroxide is the most preferred and safe method when supervised by a dental professional. It does not harm your teeth or gums and doesn't cause enamel damage or tooth weakening. Temporary tooth sensitivity is a common side effect that resolves when the treatment is paused.
For any additional questions or concerns, consult your dentist. Being well-informed can boost your confidence in choosing the right tooth whitening procedure.
