How Do Stains Occur?

Regardless of your oral hygiene standards, the porcelain-like enamel that protects your teeth will deteriorate in quality over time. As this happens, the yellow dentin that lives below is revealed. Teeth whitening procedures will eliminate all the agents that have stained your teeth.

Some of these staining agents are:

• Smoking - Everyone is aware the Nicotine discolors teeth
• Eating and drinking habits can stain teeth while acidic foods eat away at enamel. Some of these agents include: coffee, tea, soda pop, red wine, oranges, sugar, and carrots
• Aging naturally casts a shadow over your teeth
• Grinding can crack your teeth and leave them more prone to staining agents

Kinds Of Stains

The above stains fall into two categories: Surface stains and intrinsic stains. Some teeth whitening procedures will eliminate both stains, while others will just address surface stains.

Surface stains occur on the surface of your teeth. They are also known as entrinsic stains. All whitening techniques successfully eliminate surface stains. They are caused by common exposure to staining agents, such as:

• Tobacco
• Dark beverages

On the other hand, intrinsic stains form inside your teeth and are more difficult to remove. By using a take home bleaching kit, you can successfully eliminate the intrinsic stains that have formed from aging and trauma.

Ensuring A Successful Teeth Whitening Procedure

The first step in a successful teeth whitening procedure is a consultation with your cosmetic dentist. During this initial meeting, your dentist will examine your oral health to make certain that you can withstand having your teeth whitened and to determine the best method for your particular case.

Following your teeth whitening, it's common for people to experience a slight discomfort such as a minor tooth ache or gum sensitivity. Often, Advil or Tylenol will suffice in addressing this pain. It's vital that you don't eat colored foods or drink colored beverages that may stain your teeth within the initial twenty-four hours.

If you choose to whiten your teeth, your cosmetic dentist will inform you of the proper pre and post bleaching care. It's important to adhere to their instructions to guarantee the success of your teeth whitening procedure.
