What Are the Advantages of Teeth Whitening

Getting your teeth whitened leaves a positive impact not only on your oral health but also social, professional and interpersonal relations. Whiter teeth also make individuals confident and attractive.

A research by Cleaner Smile says, “ It takes only 3 seconds to deliver a first impression and the first thing that people notice is your smile.”

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, “48% of people believe that a smile creates a memorable experience and is remembered after meeting someone.”

Teeth whitening is much in vogue as a smile makeover treatment because it is easier and affordable to carry out. This treatment can be carried out in one or two visits. For further maintenance, patients can use at-home teeth whitening products.

Reasons Your Smile Is Dimming
There are certain things you must do to keep your teeth free from stains. To get the most out of your teeth whitening treatment, you must work on your eating, drinking and other lifestyle habits.

The brightness of your smile fades away on consuming:

Coffee: The reports by USA Today says, “Approx. 80-85% of adults in the US drink coffee. It is one of the most consumed beverages.” Staining by coffee is caused when the dark-colored liquid easily gets absorbed by the porous outer layer of teeth. This results in stains.

Tea: Tea is available in different varieties and each has its own potential to stain teeth. The darker the color of teeth, the more are chances of staining. Tea also has the stain causing ingredients, which is known as tannin. Sipping a cup of chamomile may also lead to stains. The only difference is black tea stains yellow and green tea stains them gray. So, if you are a green tea lover, always go for one of high-quality. The lower the quality, the worse stain it will cause.

Red Wine: Red wine contains tannins, chromogens and a lot of acid. It also has a similar effect on your teeth. The higher the frequency in which you will drink wine, the more severe are chances of staining.

Smoking: One of the most common effects of smoking is staining on the teeth. It is caused due to nicotine and tar in tobacco. It makes your teeth stained in a short span. It is observed that people who smoke quite often complaint of having their teeth turned brown after years of smoking.

Teeth whitening is done both ways, i.e. using bleach and without using bleach. The products used for teeth whitening contain powerful bleaching agents, such as peroxide. It helps in whitening the natural tooth color in both the deep and outer layers of teeth. Non-bleaching whitening products have agents that function via chemical processes to eliminate surface stains only.

At-home teeth-whitening kits are also popular and help you in getting back your confident smile.
