Teeth Whitening Jarrow

Let’s face it, probably the first place we look when we speak is the mouth of our interlocutor, so part of our attention is directed to the smile. Because of this, over time dental treatments have been developed that seek to correct and perfect the appearance of the teeth and also improve facial aesthetics. 

Among these treatments we can mention tooth whitening, a procedure that seeks to eliminate pigmentation and modify the colour of the teeth to achieve a lighter shade. And by perfecting the aesthetics of the mouth, it also improves the aesthetics of the entire face.

What is tooth whitening?

It is a treatment that is carried out with the aim of eliminating pigmentation and dental stains. This procedure has been booming in recent years and is one of the most requested in dental surgeries. 

It is carried out using non-abrasive whitening substances that are biocompatible with dental tissue. When performed correctly, it reduces the colour of teeth by several shades, making them appear whiter.

Is it right for me?

-Tooth whitening is indicated for pigmentations and stains as a result of drinking beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine and dark soft drinks.

-Stains due to smoking.

-Stains due to the use of medications such as tetracycline.

-Normal darkening due to aging. 

-Stains due to knocks or fractures to the teeth or root canal treatment (appear dull, dark grey or bluish).

-Prolonged use of the oral antiseptic Chlorhexidine.

It should be borne in mind that teeth are naturally not completely white, but have a whitish colour with a subtle yellow or grey tinge, and this depends to a large extent on the thickness of the dentine (the layer underneath the enamel).

How long will my teeth stay whiter?

The effects of whitening can last from several months to years, much will depend on the care taken by the patient in the maintenance stage. For which we recommend:

-Avoid harmful habits such as smoking, which not only darkens the teeth but also affects the health of the gums.

-Moderate the consumption of drinks that pigment the enamel, such as coffee, red wine or dark soft drinks.

-Brush your teeth properly: at least before going to bed and after every meal, preferably with a soft-bristled brush and without forcing too hard.

-Visit your dentist regularly for preventive procedures such as dental cleanings.

 

Benefits

-Removing stains, achieving a lighter shade and balancing the colour of all teeth considerably improves the aesthetics of the smile and facial aesthetics. 

This in turn has a positive impact on the patient’s self-esteem, as having pigmented teeth can be an inhibiting element for some people, making them feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, so they avoid laughing or put their hand to their mouth when speaking to hide them. At the same time, this dissatisfaction has an impact on the image they project to others, which can have a negative influence on their interpersonal relationships.

-It is a non-invasive procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of teeth.

-Fast results are achieved, usually only 1 or 2 sessions are needed for the whitening to be effective.

Process

As mentioned above, biocompatible, non-abrasive whitening substances are used on tooth enamel to remove pigmentation. There is currently a wide range of tooth whitening procedures, the main ones being:

 

In-office procedure

First and foremost, your oral health must be in excellent condition. Your teeth and gums must be free from decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

The whitening process typically involves the application of a bleaching agent to the front surfaces of your teeth. This agent, often hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is applied after isolating and protecting your gums and other soft tissues.

For accelerated results, some dentists may use light or power bleaching. This technique involves applying the whitening gel and then exposing your teeth to a light source (LED or halogen) for a short period.

While professional teeth whitening is generally painless, some individuals may experience sensitivity in their teeth or gums. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to minimize discomfort and achieve optimal results. 

 

Take-home kits

This procedure consists of using a custom-made tray at home to apply a whitening agent (carbamide peroxide) to the teeth for a set period of time. This tray is perfectly adapted to the teeth, ensuring optimal results and minimising discomfort.

There are other over-the-counter products on the market for whitening teeth at home, such as toothpastes and strips, but professional whitening products contain a higher concentration of whitening agent, which allows for more noticeable results.

It is extremely important that whitening is carried out under the supervision of a dentist and only when prescribed by a dentist. This is because a protocol must be followed consisting of clinical evaluation, diagnosis and planning of the procedure, which varies according to the condition of each patient. Also to avoid adverse reactions, and because it is necessary to have their recommendation and clinical eye as to the correct shade for our teeth.

 

It is also important to mention that these two types of whitening are often used simultaneously to achieve better and faster results.
