Intrinsic and extrinsic stains of the teeth
There are different types of stains that affect the appearance of your teeth. These are known as intrinsic straight stains and extrinsic stains. Intrinsic staining of the teeth requires further dental treatment. Intrinsic stains are stains that affect the dentin of the teeth. They occur as a result of a physical injury to the tooth or as a result of decay and disease. They can also occur as a result of an underlying health condition or certain medications. Intrinsic stains are more difficult to address but there are effective ways of doing so including the use of veneers to disguise the imperfections within the teeth.
Teeth whitening in Macleod is used to address extrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains affect the enamel of the teeth. Extrinsic stains are those that are caused by poor oral hygiene, avoiding the dentist for long periods of time, allowing plaque and tartar to buildup on the surface of the teeth as well as environmental factors such as certain food and drinks that may be highly coloured. They can be caused as a result of lifestyle choices such as smoking. All these factors cause stain molecules to build up on the surface of the teeth and prevent the white of the enamel from shining through.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening at the Dental Retreat in Macleod works by breaking up the stain molecules on the surface of the teeth to restore the white and shine of your enamel. Teeth whitening can either be carried out at the dental practice or you can find out about a home treatment kit which the dentist can prescribe for you. Professional teeth whitening kits are safe and effective to use. There are many different teeth whitening treatments available in pharmacies and supermarkets however professional teeth whitening kits contain the active ingredients carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide in different concentrations and are a highly effective method of breaking down stain molecules on your teeth for successful teeth whitening.
We can discuss which treatment is the most suitable for you by carrying out a smile assessment and by undergoing a professional scale and polish or hygiene appointment you can remove excess plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth to help enhance their teeth whitening effects further. Speak to us at the dental retreat today to find out more about how teeth whitening works and how you can undergo teeth whitening to transform the appearance of your smile.
