Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that aims to
achieve a lighter, more aesthetically pleasing shade by removing
permanent discoloration on the tooth surface. Each individual's
natural tooth color may vary; genetics, age, food intake, and
lifestyle can all alter this color over time. Teeth discolored
by external factors such as tea, coffee, cigarettes, and wine
can be restored to their former, bright appearance through
whitening.
Teeth whitening can be applied to individuals who are free of
cavities, have healthy gums, and have permanent teeth.
Performing this procedure after basic oral care procedures, such
as tartar removal, produces more effective results. A dental
examination is essential before whitening.

Whitening procedures are generally applied using two different
techniques:

What Should You Pay Attention to After Teeth Whitening?
Stain-causing foods such as tea, coffee, wine and cigarettes
should be avoided for the first 48 hours after the
procedure.
Acidic drinks should be avoided.
Teeth should be brushed regularly and flossed.
Care gels or desensitizing products recommended by the
physician can be used.
