5. Tooth Whitening

This treatment is useful for removing stains that appear because of the consumption to tea, coffee, cigarettes, and wine. It carries whitening out using bleaching gel, which is usually hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. The gel breaks down releasing oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel and dentin and disintegrate the stains. The time required for results to appear depends upon the source of the stain and varies from a few hours to a few weeks.
