Best Teeth Whitening in Delhi

Discoloured or stained teeth make you feel uncomfortable when you smile?

In the field of general dentistry, teeth whitening is commonly referred to as dental bleaching. This practice has been around for centuries, with ancient Romans using a mixture of urine and goat milk to achieve whiter teeth. The purpose of whitening is to restore the teeth's original color, while bleaching takes it a step further by brightening beyond the natural shade. As a result, it has become one of the most popular requests in cosmetic dentistry today. Various techniques are available such as brushing, bleaching strips, decolorizing gel, and laser bleaching. Some methods involve the use of carbamide peroxide which produces hydrogen peroxide when combined with water.

Teeth discoloration causes

Children's baby teeth are typically brighter than adult teeth. However, as we age, the mineral content of our teeth causes them to darken. This is because the enamel becomes less porous and lacks adequate phosphate. Additionally, teeth can become discolored from bacterial pigments or consumption of beverages such as tea, coffee, and red wine. Certain foods high in carotenoids or xanthonoids can also contribute to staining. Furthermore, certain medications like tetracycline may cause stains or reduce the shine of enamel on our teeth.

In order to maintain the desired color, 32 Facts Delhi Dental Solutions recommends repeated whitening procedures from time to time. A tooth's outermost layer is called enamel, and the color of the tooth is determined by the scattering and reflection of light off the enamel, which mixes with its thin dentin layer. A person's genes determine the thickness and smoothness of enamel, which allows the color of the dentin to show.

Everyday, a thin coating, also known as (pellicle), forms on the enamel and picks up stains. As a result of the pores in the enamel of the teeth, stains can be held back. Tobacco, dark-colored liquids such as tea, coffee, red wine, and aerated drinks are the most common causes of staining. The fact that you don't take proper care of your teeth can also cause staining.

The enamel in your teeth gets thinner and the dentin gets darker with age, so your teeth becomes less bright / dull.
