The tooth whitening<\/strong> is one of the most popular treatments in dental clinics come summer. It is a fast, affordable and effective cosmetic dental treatment, which undoubtedly contributes to its popularity. That is why in the last few weeks we have been asked a very specific question quite often: \"What is the best way to treat your teeth?I am prone to tooth sensitivity, should I have my teeth whitened?<\/em>\". The answer to this question cannot be a simple yes or no, because it is somewhat more complex. Let us start at the beginning.<\/p>\n Tooth whitening is a chemical process by means of which, thanks to the application of certain products, the shade of the teeth is lightened to a greater or lesser extent. Specifically, the clinical products used in a whitening treatment are\u00a0dental clinic\u00a0<\/a>and our approach to brightening patients' smiles and delivering long-lasting results are based on the\u00a0hydrogen peroxide<\/strong> or\u00a0carbamide<\/strong> in different concentrations. A simple but effective way of explaining this would be to imagine that the peroxide molecules 'penetrate' the stains on the tooth and separate them, making them smaller and less noticeable.<\/p>\n Thanks to this, up to 8 shades whiter are achieved thanks to the treatment, but, as we always clarify to patients, up to the natural shade of your own tooth, never going beyond that. We could say that it is a process similar to 'cleaning' the surface of the tooth, and this is what makes it look whiter, but it does not achieve a shade that our tooth cannot reach naturally.<\/p>\n This treatment consists of two phases: clinical\u00a0<\/strong>y\u00a0outpatient clinic<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWhat does tooth whitening consist of?<\/h2>\n
