For a beautiful and effective smile, healthy and white teeth are crucial. However, in some cases, structural disorders, antibiotics used during childhood or in the womb, foods consumed, drinks, fluoride levels in drinking water, old prostheses, crowns, fillings, and aging can cause discoloration in teeth.
Teeth whitening is a procedure to lighten the discolored and yellowed enamel layer by several shades, customized for each individual, and to eliminate stains.
The teeth whitening procedure should be performed under the supervision of a dentist. Whitening gels applied to the outer surface of the discolored tooth react with a special light. This allows the teeth to whiten very quickly and effectively. In a procedure performed this way, an average of 3-4 shades of tooth color are lightened in a single session.
Teeth whitening is a highly safe procedure that can be applied to almost everyone. This procedure will not cause any harm if performed in reliable clinics and under the supervision of a dentist. The whitening procedure is not recommended for individuals whose growth and development are still ongoing, and it should be performed carefully for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
