Tooth Whitening
Tooth shade is very important for individuals in terms of dental esthetics. In some cases, ideal tooth color cannot be obtained even with professional cleaning procedures, such as scaling and polishing, which are performed to remove teeth stains and tartar. In this case, color of tooth can be restored to the desired shade with a correct whitening procedure. Studies show that tooth whitening is extremely effective and reliable if it is performed under supervision of a dentist. Teeth and gum are no means damaged. Bleaching is a cosmetic solution that implies eliminating color organic and inorganic materials, which deposit in porous enamel on surface of teeth, using tooth whitening gels. Whitening technique involves applying a specially prepared gel on teeth and accelerating the reaction with a light source or a laser source. Mechanism of whitening process is in form of oxidation-reduction reaction. Materials used for this purpose release oxygen. The substances that cause discoloration of teeth are replaced by colorless ones, resulting with whitening.
