What is teeth whitening?
Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that can remove stains and discoloration from your teeth, leaving you with a brighter, more youthful smile. This popular treatment involves the use of a special whitening agent that is applied to the surface of the teeth. The whitening agent breaks down the stains and discoloration, leaving your teeth looking brighter and more attractive.
Can yellow teeth become white again?
Yes, yellow teeth can become white with the help of teeth whitening treatments. Teeth can become discolored or yellowed over time due to a variety of factors, including aging, certain foods and drinks, tobacco use, and poor oral hygiene.
Teeth whitening treatments work by using a bleaching agent, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to remove stains and discoloration from the surface of the teeth. These treatments can be done at home with over-the-counter whitening products or in a dental office with professional treatments.
The effectiveness of teeth whitening treatments can vary depending on the severity of the discoloration, the type of treatment used, and the individual’s teeth and oral health. In some cases, teeth may not become completely white, but can still be significantly lighter and brighter than they were before treatment.
It’s important to note that teeth whitening treatments may not be suitable for everyone, and it’s important to talk to your dentist before starting any whitening treatment. Some people may have underlying dental problems that need to be addressed before whitening, and some teeth may not respond well to whitening treatments. Additionally, overuse or misuse of whitening treatments can damage the teeth and cause sensitivity or other problems.
How Long Do Whitening Effects Last?
The length of time that teeth whitening effects last varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors, such as the type of whitening treatment used, the individual’s oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle choices.
Here are some general guidelines:
Professional in-office teeth whitening
The effects of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to two years. The length of time the effects last will depend on the individual and their oral hygiene habits.
At-home teeth whitening
The effects of at-home whitening treatments can last anywhere from one to three months. This is because the bleaching agents used in at-home treatments are typically weaker than those used in professional treatments.
Lifestyle choices
Certain lifestyle choices can impact the longevity of tooth whitening effects. For example, consuming staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine can cause the teeth to become discolored more quickly. Smoking and using tobacco products can also cause teeth to become discolored more quickly.
Oral hygiene habits
Maintaining good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist for regular cleanings can help to prolong the effects of tooth whitening treatments.
Overall, the length of time that teeth whitening effects last varies, but taking good care of your teeth and avoiding lifestyle choices that can cause staining can help to prolong the results.
At home teeth whitening
Pros of DIY teeth whitening:
- Convenience: One of the biggest advantages of teeth whitening products is that it can be done at your own convenience, without having to schedule an appointment with a dentist.
- Cost-effective: Home kits are generally less expensive than professional whitening treatments at a dental office.
- Comfort: Some people prefer home whitening products because they can do it in the comfort of their own home and at their own pace.
Cons of DIY teeth whitening:
- Lower concentration of bleaching agent: Home teeth whitening kits may have a lower concentration of the bleaching agent than the professional treatments used at a dental office. Often, they reduce surface stains.
- Risk of misuse>: If not used correctly, home teeth whitening kits can cause damage to the gums or teeth.
- Limited effectiveness: Home teeth whitening kits may not be as effective as professional teeth whitening treatments, especially for more severe discoloration.
Oral health
Every dental appointment is an opportunity to be checked for oral cancer, gum disease and tooth decay.
Does whitening damage teeth?
Whitening treatments can potentially damage teeth if they are not used correctly or if they are overused. However, when used properly, most teeth whitening treatments are safe and effective.
The most common side effect of teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity, which can occur during and after treatment. This sensitivity is usually temporary and should go away within a few days. Other potential side effects of teeth whitening include gum irritation or damage to existing dental work, such as fillings or crowns.
Overusing teeth whitening treatments or using them incorrectly can lead to more serious problems. For example, using a highly concentrated whitening solution for an extended period of time can damage the enamel on your teeth and cause them to become more sensitive. It can also damage the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth, leading to long-term problems.
To prevent damage to your teeth, it’s important to follow the instructions provided with your chosen teeth whitening product, and to avoid using it too frequently or for too long. It’s also a good idea to talk to your dentist before starting any teeth whitening treatment, especially if you have existing dental problems or concerns about the safety of the treatment.

Testimonials
My dentist, who I had seen my entire life, recently retired and Dr Tchamba took over his Sacramento office. I could not have asked for a better new dentist! He made what could have been a difficult transition so easy! He is very skilled, as well as excellent at explaining things and very gentle and patient. I recommend him highly!
