DENTAL WHITENING-BLEACHING
Teeth whitening is the process of lightening teeth that have changed color for various reasons by applying bleaching agents to the surface of the teeth. In order for whitening to be successful, first of all, the cause of the coloration must be understood. Tooth color darkens over time or with external factors such as smoking, tea, coffee consumption. That’s why it’s important to consult your dentist. There are types of whitening that can be done in the clinic or at home.In the clinical environment, whitening can be done with the gel and activating light applied by the dentist to the teeth. In home bleaching, the bleaching process is performed in 7-10 days on average with the gels placed in the plates prepared with the measurements taken from the patient. Some sensitivity can be observed in whitening depending on the structure of the tooth. After teeth whitening, it is necessary to avoid foods and drinks that may cause discoloration.
