4 Facts on Teeth Whitening:

• Teeth stains cannot be removed completely overnight – A misconception that dentists in Bahrain and many other countries of the world face is the belief of removing the stains on the teeth that have accumulated over the years in one or two teeth whitening sessions. Scientifically, it is impossible to do so. However, these sessions, provided they are performed and followed up on by well-skilled dentists, proved to have amazing results. They are one of the best methods followed in smile makeovers, and because of that, it remained on the top of patients’ demands here in Bahrain and other parts of the world. That’s because everyone wants to feel the confidence that comes with a bright smile!
• Teeth sensitivity after teeth whitening process – According to statistic in Bahrain and globally, some patients experience abnormal sensitivity following teeth whitening, but, it was also proven that it’s a normal thing and not phenomenon, and that’s due to several factors. This includes the fact that natural sensitive teeth occur in one out of every eight adults, according to global statistics. Also, the process cause temporary dehydration of teeth, making them more sensitive to temperature. This does not cross the barrier of 36 hours in most cases, as this temporary feeling usually vanishes within 12 hours after the process is completed. It is recommended that fluoride solutions are used before the whitening process to stimulate rehydration and help nourish the teeth after the process is done.
• Not everyone’s teeth can be completely “white” – Some social and personal habits that are common in Bahrain and other societies could lead to staining the teeth, such as the excessive consumption of coffee or tobacco consumption in all forms. Despite the efforts dedicated by the authorities in Bahrain and the World Health Organization to curb such habits, some of us just cannot get rid of it! In such situations, teeth whitening have been proven as an effective way to regain the white smile we all once had. But, we must acknowledge that in some cases, teeth whitening processes cannot magically remove all the stains, as we are born with some of them or they we could have them because of genetic reasons.
