Teeth Whitening Although there are internal discolorations that occur in the teeth due to reasons such as antibiotics used congenitally or later in some teeth, food and beverages consumed daily remove the natural whiteness of our teeth in factors such as fruit juice, tea, coffee, wine or factors that cause external discoloration of the teeth as a result of smoking. In this context, tooth whitening can be applied as office whitening applied by the physician in the office environment and as the whitening to be applied at home by the patient with gels containing transparent and lower whitening agents thanks to the plaque given to the patient with the measurements taken from the patient. How to Have Ideal Tooth Whitening? Having the ideal whiteness is actually not a difficult treatment. In this context, the teeth whitening process is quite different in the polishing process that takes place after the tartar cleaning process. During the teeth whitening process, the tooth's own color tone can be lightened by 2-3 tons. In addition, there are products such as whitening toothpaste mouthwash, which is not under the control of a doctor and is also called as over the counter, which patients can get from pharmacies. However, the effect of these products is very low compared to the whitening process under the control of the physician. After the whitening performed under the control of the physician, it would be a better choice to use with the advice of the physician. Office Type Teeth Whitening Office type whitening is the most effective method among all bleaching systems. Since the whitening agents used in the examination have higher proxide rates, whitening is faster and its permanence is longer. In addition, in order to obtain a more effective result before the tooth whitening procedure, it is necessary to clean the tartar before whitening. Before and after the sessions, photographs are taken from the patient and the color of the tooth is determined. The number of sessions to be performed is usually two or three, depending on the coloration in the tooth. Since we do not want to damage the gums before the procedure, it is covered with a barrier as a protective. The tooth whitening gel is then applied to the teeth. Whitening gel is applied to the teeth in 2 or 3 periods in approximately 15-minute periods. Between the sessions, the patient is requested to stay away from coloring foods, coffee, tea and similar beverages and to minimize smoking. Sensitivities may occur between whitening sessions. However, these sensitivities are eliminated with the desensitizing toothpastes to be used. Home Type Teeth Whitening Process In the bleaching system, which we call the home type, a color is detected again and a transparent plaque suitable for the patient is designed thanks to the measurement taken from the patient before the treatment. The tubes containing transparent plaque whitening agents are given to the patient and how they will be applied to their teeth is explained in detail by whom. The patient applies the drug 2 times a day, or 2 weeks a week, or only one or two weeks at night, in accordance with the dentist's recommendation. Necessary changes are made by monitoring how the treatment goes in the weekly controls. It is appropriate for the dentist and the patient to decide together how to apply whitening. What is the Success Rate in Whitening Process? How Long Does Tooth Whitening Continue? Although it varies from person to person depending on various factors, the whiteness of the teeth continues between 3 months and 3 or 4 years. While the life span of white people who have gained more tea, coffee and smoking is shorter, the life span of white people can be much longer in other individuals. Regular checks are provided every 6 months without returning the teeth to their previous colors, and if necessary, repeating the whitening process every 6 months or a year, ensures that the white has a longer life and the duration of the second whitening can be shortened and economically advantageous.
