Work Whitening is the process of removing the discoloration in the structure of the teeth for various reasons or lightening the tooth’s own color a few more tones. There are different methods to whiten teeth. The most important of these is the office type whitening applied by the dentist, and the other is the home type whitening system applied at home with the recommendation of the dentist.
Office type whitening is the most effective method among all whitening systems. Since the bleaching agents used in the bleaching process performed during the examination are more effective, the whitening is faster and its permanence is longer. In the bleaching system, which we call home type, a transparent plaque suitable for the patient is produced thanks to the measurement taken from the patient before the treatment. Slower-acting bleaching agents are used in home teeth whitening. The prepared transparent plaque and tubes containing the whitening agent are given to the patient and the physician explains how to apply it to his teeth. The patient applies the drug in accordance with the recommendations of the dentist. With weekly controls, the progress of the treatment is monitored and necessary changes are made.
Root canal treated teeth lose their vitality. These teeth may turn yellow over time or there may be discoloration depending on the material placed inside the tooth. In such discolorations, the bleaching agent placed in the pulp chamber is kept on the tooth for a few days. The process is repeated until the desired color tone is achieved. All whitening gels can cause more or less sensitivity. This may vary from person to person and depending on the condition of the teeth. In case of sensitivity, topical gels applied by the dentist will reduce the sensitivity. After whitening, the color of the teeth never returns to its original color. However, depending on the structure of the teeth, the nutritional habits of the person and how much attention is paid to the post-procedure recommendations, some discoloration may be seen in the teeth after 2-3 years. It is necessary to stay away from tea, coffee, cigarettes, cola, red wine, acidic drinks and colored foods for 1 week after bleaching. Because the effect of the whitening continues in the dentin canals during this period.
