Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that reduces stains and discoloration to enhance the appearance of your smile. It typically involves the application of a bleaching agent, usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrates tooth enamel to break down stain molecules. The process can be done professionally at a dental office or at home using advised kits. Whitening results vary depending on the initial tooth color and type of stain. While generally safe, overuse or improper application can cause tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Consulting a dentist ensures safe, effective whitening tailored to your needs.
