To treat discoloured teeth

To treat stained teeth on surface

In most cases, the natural colour of teeth is within a range of light grayish-yellow shades. Teeth naturally darken with age and their appearance can be affected by the accumulation of surface stains acquired from the use of tobacco products and the consumption of certain foods or drinks.

Whitening involves applying bleach solutions to the teeth. The bleach attacks the highly colored organic molecules that lodge between the crystals of tooth enamel (the outermost tooth covering) or in the dentin (the tooth material under the enamel). It's these organic particles that give the teeth a stained appearance. For surface stains, the solution is left on the teeth usually for 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the method used.

Generally speaking, teeth whitening is safe because the chemicals used to attack the organic molecules do not materially affect the mineral structure of the tooth itself.

Extrinsic staining is caused by substances that come in contact with the tooth.

Big culprits are tobacco, either smoked or chewed, and foods containing tannins such as red wine, coffee and tea.

No matter which whitening method you choose, you will probably find that the results fade over time. Whitening usually lasts from six months to two years, though longer-lasting results have been reported.

You can make the brightness last longer by avoiding the foods and habits mentioned above that cause staining. Some individuals may need a touch-up whitening treatment in the dentist's office or at home once or twice each year.
