The most common and popular cosmetic treatment in dentistry is teeth whitening/bleaching. Many of us want a brighter smile to get attractive looks. But we wonder which treatment is suitable for me and what are the side -effects of it? Sometimes, we want to get the esthetic treatment in dentistry just for some special occasions and some of us want brighter teeth for life-long. An answer to this question is none of the products last permanently. Indeed, longer effects of teeth whitening may vary to the products. In fact, it also depends on your lifestyle and oral hygiene. Smoking or tobacco chewing will not allow your teeth to look brighter for more days. Such stains will come again on to the surfaces of the teeth and the whitening effect will be declined. Whitening strips may help you to get white teeth for some days. While home bleaching effects may last for some months. The duration of effectiveness of professional whitening is generally 12 to 18 months. Moreover, you can use whitening toothpaste which holds hydrogen peroxide, mild abrasives and carbamide peroxide. You should use this toothpaste for 2 to 6 weeks and the results will last for 3 to 4 months. Such toothpastes only will remove the stains, it will not change the shade of your teeth.Proper maintenance of your oral hygiene and diet is also as important as the treatment. Twice brushing, flossing will keep your oral hygiene. You should avoid stained food like tea, coffee, coke, tobacco etc. There are multiple reasons for the teeth to get stained or discolored. But you can get a whiter smile with the whitening products. Whitening products have a wide range; you can choose wisely and safely. Of course, you should take advice from your doctor to choose a better material for you!
