1. WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?
Teeth whitening is a method that uses oxidants to break down the color molecule chains in the dentin, helping to improve the color of the teeth, making the teeth whiter than the original color.
Teeth after bleaching will maintain their bright white color for an average of 6 months – 1 year and gradually decrease in whiteness after that. Depending on the bleaching method and post-bleaching care regimen, the maintenance time can be longer or shorter than the average time.
Teeth whitening results vary from person to person, depending on the cause and initial condition of the discoloration. The whiteness may fade over time, but will still be whiter than the original tooth color.
2. DOES TEETH WHITENING DAMAGE TOOTH ENAMEL?
Teeth whitening is currently popular and widely used to improve the color of teeth, making the smile brighter. However, many people are still hesitant when choosing this method because they do not know whether teeth whitening will damage tooth enamel or not?
According to research from the International Dental Association, teeth whitening is not harmful, does not affect tooth enamel and tooth structure if teeth whitening is done correctly, ensuring the time, dosage, concentration and quality of the bleaching agent when whitening.
In case of self-bleaching, it is also necessary to have a doctor’s prescription for the dosage. The bleaching agent must be of clear origin and have the appropriate concentration to avoid damaging teeth and gums.
Choosing a reputable dental clinic for teeth whitening is essential to protect your oral health. To ensure the process and quality of teeth whitening.
