Bleaching Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening and cleaning is the removal of plaque accumulated on the surfaces of the teeth from the outside and the inside, and cleaning the teeth mainly removes the lime accumulated on them, and removes the plaque layer and external surface pigments only, that is, it restores the teeth to their original color only, but does not change their color or whiten them.

Causes of tooth discoloration?

A change in the color of the teeth occurs as a result of a number of factors, namely:

• Increase the number of drinks that help to stain the teeth, such as tea and coffee
  Failure to take proper care of your teeth, which leads to tartar, plaque and other deposits forming
• Some diseases that affect the enamel layer
• Cigarette smoking
• Teeth enamel thinning due to aging
• Taking antibiotics
• Excessive use of fluoride toothpaste, especially if this habit began in childhood.
• Hereditary causes
• Eating unhealthy food
• Dry mouth: because the lack of saliva leads to less protection of the enamel
• Breathing through the mouth and not breathing through the nose, which leads to dehydration of saliva.

The importance of cleaning teeth at the doctor

• Improves oral health, keeps it clean, and protects against the formation of gum
• infections.
• Protect teeth from loosening and falling off.
• Contribute to removing discoloration that occurs on the teeth due to food and drink deposits.
• Prevent tooth decay.
• Removal of soft or hard layers of bacterial plaque.
• Eliminate harmful bacteria that are stuck in plaque.

The damage of not cleaning the teeth

• Tooth decay due to the accumulation of tartar
• Tartar periodontitis disease that forms above the gum line is very harmful to it, because bacteria may irritate and damage the gums, over time, this may gradually lead to gingivitis.
• Gum bleeding during brushing the teeth as a result of the formation of pockets between the gums and the teeth that are filled with bacteria, and this is called periodontitis, so the immune system sends antibodies to fight the inflammation, and it mixes with the bacteria to form a substance that harms the bones and tissues that carry the teeth
