Teeth Whitening is one of the effective
ways to get more whiter teeth. Whitening process will not damage the
surface or enamel of teeth. The process will lighten the natural
colour of teeth to become more brighter and whiter.
Normally teeth whitening is needed when
we get older. It is natural fading of teeth colour. Teeth
enamel absorbs stains from food items. The stains can be from
tea, coffee, juices, red wine etc. and other food items that have
strong colours that can affect the colour of teeth. Also teeth can be
stained from other habits like smoking, drinking etc.
Some people's teeth will have grey
shades, it may be because of other diseases or other problems with their
teeth. These can be removed to get whiter healthier teeth. The
teeth whitening procedures should be done only with the consultation
of a Dentist.
There are different methods to do Teeth
Bleaching or Whitening,

Bleaching is a process in which your dentist will assist you for
teeth whitening. The dentist will examine your teeth &
analyse your dental history first. Then he will discuss about the
treatment procedures and will give you a report whether you can have
teeth whitening. According to the condition of the patient, dentist
will start the procedure. This procedure will take only half to one
hour. Starts with carefully painting a light-cured protective layer
on gums & papilla. After that a bleaching agent carbamide
peroxide or hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth.
In this process, first time patient should consult the dentist and he will provide you with
the necessary steps to follow to whiten the teeth at home. This
process is time consuming because it takes 2-3 weeks to see the
effect on the teeth. The patient will be given some trays which is
like gum shields to protect the gums. After putting these trays you
will have to apply whitening gel, this should be applied routinely for 2-3
weeks for better results.
Light Accelerated Bleaching or commonly
known Laser Bleaching uses light energy to accelerate the
process of bleaching. There are different types of lights that is
used for this purpose. Halogen, Led, Plasma Arc etc. Halogen light is
more effective and gives better results than other lights. The
process starts with covering the soft-tissue with resin based light
curable barrier. Then a whitening gel called Hydrogen peroxide is
applied and exposed to light energy for 10-15 minutes.

your teeth, for example with teeth whitening toothpaste but it is
