As the name suggests, teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the color of teeth and improve their appearance. It involves the use of various techniques and products to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth's surface caused by factors such as age, smoking, and consumption of tea, coffee, and red wine. People go for teeth whitening to enhance their smile, boost their self-confidence, and improve their overall appearance.
Sensitivity after teeth whitening is absolutely normal
During this stage, the dentist will examine your teeth to determine if you're a good candidate for teeth whitening. They may also discuss your goals for treatment and answer any questions you have about the process.
Before the actual treatment, your dentist will take steps to protect your gums and other soft tissues in your mouth to prevent sensitivity during the whitening process. They may also recommend avoiding certain foods and drinks before and after treatment to help maintain the results.
The actual teeth whitening treatment typically involves applying a bleaching solution to the teeth and then activating it with a special light. The length of the treatment may vary depending on the severity of the staining and the desired level of whiteness.
Once the treatment is complete, your dentist will provide instructions on how to maintain the results. This may include avoiding certain foods and drinks, using a special toothpaste, and scheduling regular touch-up appointments.
