TEETH WHITENING
Teeth whitening, is one of the most common laser’s applications that ranks among the most popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry. Teeth whitening is a safe procedure that contributes to the change of the colour on both healthy and denervated teeth and while it improves significantly their aesthetic appearance.
This procedure can be operated by the patient at home, at the dental office during a session or by combining both ways. Basically, the procedure is about removing the discolouration from the external teeth surface. The discolouration is created gradually on the teeth’s surface due to the daily use or habbits that constitute of colourants, such as smoking, sodas, wine, tea and coffee.
Apart from the external discolouration at the daily clinical operation, there some internal discolouration as well that has made its appearance, mostly caused by the continuous presence of the external discolouration at the tooth’s surface due to the extended exposure to fluorine during childhood, the consuption of antibiotics which are consisted of tetracycline and due to other factors such as age, hormonal disorders, medication, etc. The most common internal discolour is the one that appears on denervated teeth.
