Teeth whitening has become an increasingly popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of one's smile by lightening the color of the teeth. The procedure is designed to remove stains and discoloration caused by various factors such as food and beverages, smoking, aging, and certain medications.

There are several methods available for teeth whitening, ranging from professional treatments performed by dentists to over-the-counter products for at-home use. Professional teeth whitening treatments often involve the application of a bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrates the enamel to break down stains and brighten the teeth. These treatments may be performed in-office using specialized equipment such as lasers or LED lights to accelerate the whitening process, or through custom-fitted trays worn at home.

While over-the-counter whitening products such as whitening toothpaste, strips, and gels are widely available and convenient, they may not produce the same level of results as professional treatments. Professional teeth whitening procedures are typically more effective and can achieve noticeable results in a shorter amount of time.

It's important to note that teeth whitening may not be suitable for everyone, especially individuals with certain dental conditions or sensitivity issues. Consulting with a dentist is recommended to determine the most appropriate whitening method and ensure optimal results while maintaining oral health. With proper care and maintenance, teeth whitening can significantly improve the brightness of a smile and boost self-confidence.

The natural color of teeth is within a range of light greyish-yellow shades (Canadian Dental Association). Teeth discolor can be intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic is on the outside of the teeth and Intrinsic discoloration is from within the tooth. Intrinsic discoloration can be caused because of medication use, childhood illness, infection, tooth trauma, or aging.  Clients with intrinsic discoloration should see a professional dentist.  Teeth naturally darken with age. Tobacco products, food and drink all affect the shades of teeth (Canadian Dental Association ). Coffee, tea, red wine, foods with dyes, and tobacco can contribute to this type of staining. These stains are extrinsic. Lastly, skin tone affects the perception of the color of teeth. (Hume Street Dental Care).
