The color and thickness of the dentin largely determine the color of the tooth. This color is hereditary, but other factors also play a role. For example, diet and oral hygiene affect the color of the teeth. Teeth can be temporarily whitened with bleaching treatments. However, this does not apply to all discolorations. It is important to discuss your wishes with the practitioner.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”When might bleaching be necessary?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1662125949436{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”]

In some cases, however, it may be ethically desirable to bleach. If the discolorations on the teeth are uniform, bleaching may be a solution. It is important to first have your dentist look at the current color of your teeth to determine the cause of the discoloration. It is also important that you have no cavities and that your oral hygiene is good.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Responsible home bleaching under supervision” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:30px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”]

During your first appointment, impressions will be made of your upper and lower jaw. A bleaching tray is then made in the dental laboratory. At the next appointment, you will receive this, along with instructions on the bleaching process. You will also receive the bleaching gel to take home. You can then start bleaching at home. The bleaching molds can be reused.[\/vc_column_text]

[vc_column_text]Bleaching can cause temporary sensitivity to cold and heat on the teeth. This pain will disappear a few days after stopping bleaching. If you experience a lot of discomfort, you can come in for a fluoride treatment.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

[vc_column_text]When you have bleached your teeth, it is best to avoid foods with dyes. Try not to drink coffee, tea, or red wine and do not smoke for up to 48 hours after bleaching.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

[vc_column_text]Although teeth whitening is the solution to get rid of yellow teeth, there are also a number of disadvantages and risks to consider. Teeth can become more sensitive after treatment. In addition, the enamel can become more permeable, causing the teeth to discolor faster than before the treatment.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>
