Teeth Whitening Treatment
Teeth whitening refers to one of a number of techniques including chemical whitening, mild acid whitening, and abrasive teeth brightening that are performed to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing brown and yellow staining.
To whiten stained or otherwise discolored teeth, a dentist uses one of the many special bleaches that have been developed for this purpose, varying the strength of the bleaching agent according to the condition and sensitivity of the teeth.
Repeat applications of the bleach are necessary, usually in three or four weekly visits to the dental office. When the whitening is complete, the dentist seals the teeth to preserve their new white color for a long time.
