Still, if you might feel like your smile is lacking some sparkle or is more yellow than it used to be, you\u2019re not alone. When the\u00a0American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry\u00a0asked people what they\u2019d most like to improve about their smile, the most common response was whiter teeth. The\u00a0American Association of Orthodontistsalso found that nearly 90% of patients requested tooth whitening.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about teeth whitening? Get the facts first. Here are five of the most commonly asked questions about the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Did My Teeth Change Color?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over time, your teeth can go from white to not-so-bright for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food and Drink<\/strong><br \/>\nCoffee, tea and red wine are some major staining culprits. What do they have in common? Intense color pigments called chromogens that attach to the white, outer part of your tooth (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/az-topics\/t\/tooth\">enamel<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tobacco Use<\/strong><br \/>\nTwo chemicals found in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/az-topics\/s\/smoking-and-tobacco\">tobacco<\/a>\u00a0create stubborn stains: Tar and nicotine. Tar is naturally dark. Nicotine is colorless until it\u2019s mixed with oxygen. Then, it turns into a yellowish, surface-staining substance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age<\/strong><br \/>\nBelow the hard, white outer shell of your teeth (enamel) is a softer area called\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/az-topics\/t\/tooth\">dentin<\/a>. Over time, the outer enamel layer gets thinner with brushing and more of the yellowish dentin shows through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trauma<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve been hit in the mouth, your tooth may change color because it reacts to an injury by laying down more dentin, which is a darker layer under the enamel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4459 size-project-masonry-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-580x335.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-580x335.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-860x496.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.ortacadis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-cosmetic-dentistry1-1160x669.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Medications<\/strong><br \/>\nTooth darkening can be a side effect of certain antihistamines, antipsychotics and high blood pressure medications. Young children who are exposed to antibiotics like tetracycline and doxycycline when their teeth are forming (either in the womb or as a baby) may have discoloration of their adult teeth later in life.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/az-topics\/c\/cancer-during-treatment\">Chemotherapy<\/a>\u00a0and head and neck radiation can also darken teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does Teeth Whitening Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teeth whitening is a simple process. Whitening products contain one of two tooth bleaches (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide). These bleaches break stains into smaller pieces, which makes the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does Whitening Work on All Teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, which is why it\u2019s important to talk to your dentist before deciding to whiten your teeth, as whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellow teeth will probably bleach well, brown teeth may not respond as well and teeth with gray tones may not bleach at all. Whitening will not work on caps,\u00a0veneers,\u00a0crowns\u00a0or\u00a0fillings. It also won\u2019t be effective if your tooth discoloration is caused by\u00a0medications\u00a0or a\u00a0tooth injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Are My Whitening Options?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Talk to your dentist before starting. If you are a candidate, there are four ways to put the shine back in your smile:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stain Removal Toothpastes<\/strong><br \/>\nAll toothpastes help remove surface stain through the action of mild abrasives that scrub the teeth. Look for whitening toothpastes that have earned the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/ada-seal-products\">ADA Seal of Acceptance<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0stain removal\u00a0(it will tell you on the package). These toothpastes have additional polishing agents that are safe for your teeth and provide stain removal effectiveness. Unlike bleaches, these types of ADA-Accepted products do not change the color of teeth because they can only remove stains on the surface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In-Office Bleaching\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThis procedure is called\u00a0chairside bleaching\u00a0and usually requires only one office visit. The dentist will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect your gums. Bleach is then applied to the teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At-Home Bleaching from Your Dentist<\/strong><br \/>\nYour dentist can provide you with a custom-made tray for at-home whitening. In this case, the dentist will give you instructions on how to place the bleaching solution in the tray and for what length of time. This may be a preferred option if you feel more comfortable whitening in your own home at a slower pace, but still with the guidance of a dentist. Out-of-office bleaching can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over-the-Counter Bleaching Products<\/strong><br \/>\nYou may see different options online or in your local grocery store, such as toothpastes or strips that whiten by bleaching your teeth. The concentration of the bleaching agent in these products is lower than what your dentist would use in the office. If you are thinking about using an over-the-counter bleaching kit, discuss options with your dentist and look for one with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. That means it has been tested to be safe and effective for teeth whitening.\u00a0Get a list of all ADA-Accepted at-home bleaching products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are There Any Side Effects from Teeth Whitening?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people who use teeth whiteners may experience\u00a0tooth sensitivity. That happens when the peroxide in the whitener gets through the enamel to the soft layer of dentin and irritates the nerve of your tooth. In most cases the sensitivity is temporary. You can delay treatment, then try again.<\/p>\n<p>Overuse of whiteners can also damage the tooth enamel or gums, so be sure to follow directions and talk to your dentist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whitening: 5 Things to Know About Getting a Brighter Smile Brushing\u00a0and\u00a0flossing\u00a0are everyday ways to keep your teeth bright, white and healthy.
