How to Whiten Teeth

Tooth whitening is one of the restorative treatment applications. These procedures are divided into two as home or clinic methods. With the method applied at home, a plaque is prepared according to the mouth structure of the person. It is recommended to use a special material by placing a special material into this plate for a certain period of time according to the needs of the person. 

In clinical practice, a stronger material is applied to the teeth by the dentist. It may need to be repeated at certain intervals depending on the person's eating habits. However, if the conditions to be considered by the physician are followed, the first whitening will not be as yellow and brown tones as before it was done.
