The Science Behind Teeth Whitening


Posted on 1/23/2023 by Evan
The Science Behind Teeth WhiteningMany people's hearts are won over by a smile that is bright and shining. Let us take a trip through the interesting process that makes your beautiful whites shine.

How Does Teeth-Whitening Work?


The main goal of teeth whitening is to get rid of spots and discoloration caused by things like the passing of time, living choices, and eating and drinking certain foods and drinks. Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which are the main ingredients in most teeth-whitening goods, are at the center of this change.

As soon as these brightening agents touch the surface of your teeth, they set out on their determined mission, breaking through the impenetrable fortress of enamel, and sinking into the dentin below. Here, the true nature of tooth marks is put to the test. The oxygen substances start the molecular process of oxidation, which breaks down the bad molecules into tiny pieces that are no longer as dangerous. As a result, the obvious signs of spots disappear, leaving behind a face that shines brightly.

An alternative method is to directly apply a whitening gel and then use a special light or laser to start the chemical dance that speeds up the whitening process and leads to the best results. It's important to remember, though, that teeth whitening is not a permanent solution, even though it can make a big difference. How long the results of whitening last depends on the person's habits and lifestyle. Your improved whiteness will last longer if you take good care of your teeth and stay away from things that can stain them.

In conclusion, with the help of a dentist, teeth-whitening treatments can give you a bright smile that will make you feel good about yourself and leave an image that will last. Regardless of one's age, one may get high-quality dental treatment at a low price at our dental clinic.
