Teeth Whitening
Consuming foods and beverages that will discolor and stain the teeth, such as coffee and tea, or smoking causes yellowing and stains on the teeth, which have negative effects on people. It is not possible to remove these yellowing and stains by brushing your teeth.

Teeth whitening can be applied by two methods;
The first of these is office whitening, that is, the teeth whitening method offered by the physician to his patient in his clinic or office.
Office type teeth whitening is a procedure performed by protecting the gums with a special solution applied on the teeth. This can be a laser with a special beam source or a high-source beam source, depending on the physician's preference. This is the process of whitening teeth with a beam source.
This application takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Some people may need more than one session.
At the end of the in-office teeth whitening process, the person's teeth become a few shades whiter.
Teeth whitening is a method of removing stains inside the teeth with special solutions and special techniques. So, teeth cleaning and teeth whitening are completely different treatments.
Tooth cleaning is done to remove existing stains on the teeth.
Teeth whitening is the process of removing the materials inside the teeth that have turned yellow over the years or in individuals whose teeth have been genetically yellow.
The second method of teeth whitening is the home teeth whitening method.
In the home whitening method, the physician first sits down with the person and evaluates whether the teeth are suitable for whitening or not. A special measurement is taken from the person, and according to this measurement, a plate is prepared that fits perfectly in the mouth and does not extend to the gums. Along with this plate, a special brand determined by the physician that will be used at home is used. The important issue here is to use a proper and high-quality brand, Turkish Dental Association and World Food Institute. It must be an approved brand. In other words, never use products you buy from markets or from outside to whiten your teeth. Although these products seem to whiten teeth at first, they damage teeth.
Thanks to the special plates prepared for home whitening, the doctor explains to the patient in detail how to use them. By wearing the prepared plate for approximately 3-4 hours a day, teeth become whiter in a few days.
There is actually no big difference between home-type teeth whitening and office-type teeth whitening systems. There are only time differences. For this reason, the patient needs to decide which method he wants to whiten his teeth. Decisions can also be made according to some people's habits. For example, if a person uses a lot of coffee, tea and cigarettes, people with these habits will need more teeth whitening, so they may prefer the home teeth whitening method. It is necessary to decide depending on the person's usage habits.
For teeth whitening, products or methods that you are not familiar with (such as baking soda, bleach, etc.) should not be used. Because tooth enamel is a very special tissue and although it is a very hard tissue, it can wear out. The enamel is the layer that covers the surface of the teeth and underneath it is the weaker dentin layer. When it reaches the dentin layer, sensitivities and problems begin
