How Teeth Whitening Works and Which Products to Choose

Introduction

 

White, shiny teeth are a symbol of health and attractiveness, but achieving and maintaining such a smile requires not only daily hygiene but also conscious choices in whitening methods. There are many products and procedures available that promise to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth, but not all are equally effective and safe. In this article, we’ll discuss how different teeth whitening methods work and which products from our store are worth choosing.

 

1. The Mechanism of Teeth Whitening

 

How Does Whitening Work?

 

Teeth whitening involves removing stains and discolorations from the surface of the teeth and from within the enamel. Whitening agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, are commonly used in whitening products:

 

• Hydrogen Peroxide: Acts as a strong oxidizing agent that breaks down staining compounds in the enamel.

• Carbamide Peroxide: Breaks down more slowly, beneficial for long-term whitening, often used in at-home gels.

 

Types of Stains

 

Tooth stains are classified into two main types:

 

• Extrinsic: Occur on the surface of the teeth due to the consumption of foods, drinks, and tobacco.

• Intrinsic: Caused by changes in the structure of the teeth, related to aging, trauma, or the use of certain medications.

 

2. Methods of Teeth Whitening

 

Professional Whitening in the Office

 

Professional whitening in a dental office is a fast and effective way to achieve white teeth. This process involves applying strong whitening agents and often using LED light to activate the substance:

 

• Advantages: Quick results, safe under specialist supervision.

• Disadvantages: Higher cost, possible sensitivity post-treatment.

When whitening teeth, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a dentist before starting any whitening process, especially if you have sensitive teeth or other health issues.
