Bleaching (Tooth Whitening)

• Whitening is a light-assisted procedure performed in the dentist’s office under his or her supervision. A bleaching chemical with a higher concentration is utilized. Higher concentrations are used for speedier whitening services. The results are visible right away. In 3-7 days, two treatments are applied. It takes 30 minutes for each session.
• Home whitening is a method of whitening teeth performed at home using translucent plaques custom-made by a dentist for the patient’s mouth. A bleaching chemical with a lesser concentration is used. It is used every night for a week, and the results are obtained later because to the reduced concentration. If the whitening agent is to be used during the day, it should be applied for 8 hours; if it is to be applied at night, it should be applied for 8 hours, If you’re going to use it at night, leave it on for four hours. It’s best to use it at night because saliva production is lower and it doesn’t interfere with everyday activities. Office-type whitening is faster, but the concentration is more likely to induce high sensitivity.
