FAQ
Extrinsic Teeth Stains: These stains occur on the surface of the tooth. It is usually due to pigments from foods and drinks that adhere to the tooth enamel. Extrinsic tooth stains are often caused by tobacco use or consumption of tea, coffee, wine, and spices like turmeric.
Intrinsic Teeth Stains: These stains develop below the tooth’s surface and accumulate within the tooth enamel. Examples are chronic exposure to high level of fluoride during childhood, long-term intake of certain antibiotics during childhood, etc.
In-office whitening involves undergoing the whitening procedure at the dental clinic under the supervision of a dental professional. Alternatively, you can choose to receive a custom tray from the dentist along with a prescribed whitening gel, allowing you to perform the whitening procedure in the comfort of your own home.
During in-office whitening, the concentration of the whitening gel used by dental professionals is significantly higher than that of home whitening. This results in more effective whitening within a shorter period of time. On the other hand, if you opt for at-home whitening, you can control the results by gradually continuing the whitening process.
If you’re seeking quicker whitening results, in-office whitening is the way to go. On the other hand, if you value the flexibility of whitening your teeth at your convenience—whether during your daily routine or at night—home whitening might be the better choice.
During the in-office whitening procedure, isolation material will be applied to the gums to prevent the gel from coming into contact with them. Subsequently, a high-intensity blue light will be directed at the gel to enhance the whitening effect. This light may emit a minimal amount of warmth. One might experience slight warmth from the light, but there should be no sensation of pain in the teeth during the whitening process.
Following the whitening process, it is advisable to avoid consuming cold drinks for the initial 24 hours, as some individuals might encounter tooth sensitivity. However, this sensitivity should typically subside within 48 hours.
