Teeth whitening
Tooth whitening is a process of lightening the color of teeth. It's used to erase stains that come from coffee, tea, red wine, cigarette smoke and chewing tobacco. It will lighten teeth that have darkened because of age or are naturally yellow or dark. The effects generally last for five years depending on personal habits.
There are four tooth bleaching methods to choose from, each providing varying degrees of effectiveness: Dentist In-Office Power Bleaching, Dentist Supervised Home Bleaching, Laser Bleaching, and Over The Counter Bleaching Systems. Bleaching should be done under a dentist's supervision.
Today, nearly 85 percent of U.S. dentists offer bleaching services. Tooth bleaching has been proven successful for 90 percent of patients. But for very sensitive teeth, periodontal disease, or teeth with worn enamel, your dentist may discourage bleaching.
