Bleaching
Tooth bleaching is the most common and inexpensive method applicable today to treat discolored teeth. They are generally recommendable for people who have healthy gums and unrestored teeth.
The bleaching agents which are currently used to oxidize the teeth are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. These oxidizing agents penetrate through the porosities of the enamel and break the stains.
Bleaching Technique
Bleaching can be done by two techniques- in-office and at home.
Bleaching at Home
At-home bleaching is available over the counter or supplied by dental professionals. This process involves whitening toothpaste, strips and gels, and many more bleaching products to display an effect.
Bleaching in Office
In-office bleaching is performed by experts and dental professionals. The beaching agent used here is stronger which intensifies the whitening process.
