Teeth whitening is a process that aims to make one’s natural teeth appear brighter and whiter. Teeth whitening is one of the most preferred methods to eliminate patient’s aesthetic dental anxiety. The whitening is durable to three years, but this period may vary depending on smoking, tea, coffee, alcohol consumption.
Factors such as lifelong physiological discoloration, discoloration after amalgam fillings, antibiotic use in infancy, antibiotic use during pregnancy, staining of the tooth surface due to consumption of coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine and long-term mouthwash cause yellowing.
