Who doesn't admire a sparkling smile? It boosts confidence and bolsters oral health. In recent years, the request for teeth whitening or bleaching has surged exponentially because of the awareness of Oral Health. And one of the most repeated questions in India is; whether one can get exceptional teeth whitening procedures done at a nominal cost.



Bleaching is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes dental stains, making teeth look healthier and brighter. This is generally required by people who have lost the brightness of their teeth over time, primarily because of consuming tea, coffee, alcohol, smoking cigarettes, etc. Another reason people choose to go through this procedure is to enhance their appearance directly, boosting their confidence and enhancing their beauty with a dazzling smile. However, certain doubts occupy people's minds about teeth whitening.


Here, in this read, we will clear all your doubts surrounding teeth whitening so that you can make an informed decision.


Should I Consider DIY Teeth Whitening, Or do I need Professional Assistance?

There are many products available in the market over the counter for DIY teeth whitening. However, they may not offer you the desired results. You need to be aware of whether the product is suitable for your specific needs or not. Choosing the wrong product and not following the process correctly can worsen your dental condition, and in some cases, it can damage your teeth.


However, We at Perio Family first examine your dental condition and suggest the perfect treatment or products for your teeth.

Prime Reasons for staining and discolouration?

Stains on the teeth largely depend on lifestyle habits. Some routine habits that promote teeth discolouration are sipping coffee, tea, sodas, alcohol, etc. And other factors like abnormal development of tooth enamel and dentin, medications, ageing, genetics, trauma, and the environment. Post assessing the teeth thoroughly, We give suggestions as to what would work best for you.


Why Is Teeth whitening Procedure May Not Suitable for Some People?

Before going ahead with a teeth whitening procedure or using a product yourself, It is essential to consider certain things. The products available over the counter may not work for those with noticeable dental works like crowns etc.


Similarly, if somebody with tooth sensitivity considers self teeth whitening products, it can worsen their condition. However, the professional teeth whitening process involves proper protection for your gums and lips that lessens your sensitivity issue.


People with typical dental problems like tooth decay, gum disease, etc., should first opt to treat these issues before considering teeth whitening. We always recommend consulting professionals before progressing with any treatment so that you can achieve desired results without harm.


How Concentrated Bleaching Agents Impact Teeth Whitening Results?

Various products available in the market have distinct concentrations of bleaching agents that may or may not be suitable for you. However, we use customized trays per your requirement to fetch you desired results.


Are There Any Side Effects of Teeth Whitening Treatments?

Some people may experience tooth sensitivity when the peroxide in the whitener gets through the enamel to the fine layer of dentin, irritating the nerve of your tooth. In most cases, tooth sensitivity is temporary. You can delay treatment and then try again.


Overusing whiteners can damage tooth enamel or gums, so follow the prescribed directions and consult your dentist if you still lack clarity.


Bottom line

There are numerous natural procedures to whiten your teeth. Most of these procedures work by gently removing surface layer stains on your teeth.


However, most in-clinic treatments are much stronger than these natural remedies. They involve bleaching the teeth, which is more effective for severe tooth discolouration. Overuse of any whitening product can damage your teeth and lead to sensitivity. It is always recommended that you consult your dentist before going ahead with any procedure and understand what would work best for you.
