Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to make your natural teeth appear brighter and whiter. Here’s how it works:

Types of Teeth Stains:
Intrinsic Stains: These are inside your tooth enamel and can result from factors like antibiotic use, high fluoride exposure, or genetic predisposition.
Extrinsic Stains: These occur on the outside of your tooth due to environmental exposure (e.g., coffee, food colorings, smoking).
Teeth Whitening Options:
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Products:
Whitening Toothpaste: Contains whitening ingredients.
Whitening Mouthwash: Helps reduce surface stains.
Professional Treatments:
In-Office Whitening: Done by a dentist using stronger bleaching agents.
At-Home Whitening Kits: Custom trays with peroxide-based gels.
UV Light Therapy: Enhances the whitening process.
Safety Considerations:
Hydrogen Peroxide and Carbamide Peroxide are common bleaching agents.
Follow instructions carefully to avoid sensitivity or gum irritation.
Consult your dentist if you experience any discomfort.
Remember, teeth whitening can enhance your smile, but it’s essential to do it safely and under professional guidance

Teeth scaling, also known as a deep cleaning, is a dental procedure that goes beyond a regular teeth cleaning. Let’s explore the details:

What Is Teeth Scaling?
Definition: Teeth scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
Purpose: It helps treat chronic periodontal disease (gum disease) by cleaning bacteria from areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach.
Procedure: It is often performed along with root planing, which smooths the tooth roots to encourage gum reattachment.
When Do You Need Teeth Scaling?
Your dentist recommends it if you show signs of chronic periodontal disease, such as:
Bleeding gums
Inflammation
Bad breath
Shifting teeth
Loose teeth
Changes in bite
Chronic periodontal disease affects nearly half of U.S. adults over 30.
The Procedure:
Outpatient: Done at the dentist’s office.
Anesthetic: Local anesthetic may be used for comfort.
Steps:
Scaling: Plaque removal from teeth and pockets.
Root Planing: Smoothing tooth roots to aid gum reattachment.
Additional Treatment: Antimicrobial agents or oral antibiotics may be recommended.
Recovery:
Usually takes a few days.
Follow your dentist’s instructions for optimal healing.
Remember, teeth scaling helps maintain oral health and prevent complications from gum disease. Regular dental visits are essential for overall well-being
