Nowadays, many people are opting for a whiter and brighter smile. It boosts confidence for many people, and with all the new over the counter whitening products it’s become more accessible and more affordable. But do people really know what they are putting on their teeth? And is it safe?

To answer these questions we need to first differentiate between teeth whitening and bleaching. Whitening the teeth is the process of restoring the teeth to their natural color. When we are born, the enamel that covers the teeth is white, which is what gives our teeth a white appearance.

Over time and as we age our enamel wears and gets cracked and becomes more transparent. The transparency allows the yellow of the actual tooth matter to show through, and the cracks become stained. which is why people who drink a lot of coffee and red wine, or people who smoke cigarettes have yellow teeth.

True whitening simply cleans the enamel and allows organic minerals in your saliva to fill in the cracks.

This helps restore the enamel to it’s original whiteness and is a safe process that is actually good for your teeth. Generally this process is done in the dentists office but there are a few over the counter products that will help achieve these results.

Teeth bleaching is whitening the teeth beyond their natural whiteness. A lot of manufacturers market teeth bleaching products as teeth whitening because whitening sounds better.
Ts no secret that people prefer to purchase do it yourself teeth whitening are a number of teeth. Thus if discolorations available as most stores and problems can bring high profits and lights that are associated the whitening kit. Whitener strips may just be the ticket.

If this happens if you are qualified to undertake dentist can perform this procedure takes two or more hours to consult your dentist first.

Teeth bleaching products have a peroxide in them. This actually weakens the enamel. Eventually the teeth go back to their original color, and you will need to bleach again, which weakens the enamel further. Many people opt for teeth bleaching because the results are more drastic, and they do not realize the harm it can cause to your teeth.

When buying whitening products such as something labeled teeth whitening gel, you must be wary and check the ingredients to see if the product contains peroxide and is actually bleach.
Bleaching

Bleaching of teeth is a procedure which is useful in  lightening  discolorations which have accumulated on the tooth surface over a period of time. This process causes the whitening  of  teeth with the help of a mild  bleaching solution. This method is ideal for stains caused by age or food.
What causes staining of teeth?

The most common causes include aging, consumption of staining substances (coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, betel nut etc.), and old discolored fillings in the teeth. During tooth formation, consumption of the antibiotic tetracycline or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.

How is bleaching done?

Bleaching is performed by two separate methods.
1. One is the In-office bleaching and the other is a commercially available tray system.
2. With the  in-office bleaching technique, a bleaching gel is applied over the teeth and a special light is used to activate the bleaching gel so as to begin  the whitening process. The facility for this method is available only in the dental clinic.
3. In  tray bleaching system, trays are usually provided  along with the commercial teeth whitening pack. These trays are designed so as to cover the tooth surface when placed in to the mouth .The bleaching gel is carried to the tooth surface  with the help of these trays. The trays are usually  worn for a  few hours every day for a period of 7 to 10 days. Although slower, the results achieved are usually comparable to the in-office bleaching.
