Why do teeth become discolored?

Stains on the teeth are a result of certain factors. The most common causes include taking beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as smoking since it deposits particles on the enamel. Due to aging, the enamel gets worn out and thus gets thinner exposing the yellow dentin layer. Neglecting dental care results in the formation of deposits of plaque and tartar which further stain the teeth. Some drugs like tetracycline antibiotics will affect the formation of internal tooth structure if taken during the formation of teeth. Blows to the teeth can also affect blood circulation or there may be internal injuries that will over time change the color of the affected tooth. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/367521982_Modern_concepts_of_teeth_whitening_-_a_narrative_review

When you bleach your teeth you need to maintain that whiteness to the maximum and to prevent any sensitivity. For starters, one should avoid foods and beverages with certain shades like coffee, red juice, or any product with a dark tinge for two days at the most. Your teeth are most susceptible to staining right after the treatment. It is suggested that one should quit smoking or the use of tobacco products since they cause yellowing of the teeth thus reducing the whiteness of the teeth.

Do not neglect your teeth to rot, be sure to clean them well and maintain good oral hygiene. Clean your mouth by drinking water, brushing your teeth, and flossing esp. after having a meal. To maintain your teeth white for a longer period it will be very useful in achieving this. Sensitivity after whitening may cause a lot of discomfort; therefore, you should ensure to use sensitive teeth toothpaste and floss daily. Others are medicines also; the use of certain prescription drugs can result in discoloration. If you are taking any prescription medicines, ask your dentist if you can use non-staining anti-bacterial medications. They can recommend procedures that will not change the color of your teeth to white. When you follow the above steps, then you will be able to maintain that bright and healthy smile for the longest time possible.

Is teeth whitening painful?

No, the teeth whitening procedure is not painful and you don’t feel any pain during or after the process.

There is normally a tingling sensation that is normally felt in the teeth or slight sensitivity that may be felt at the time of the whitening process or immediately after the process is done. This minor sensitivity usually persists for a few days and it can be easily relieved by using a toothpaste with sensitivity formula or as per the dentist’s recommendation.
