Teeth Whitening in Turkey
Teeth whitening in Turkey is a procedure for whitening enamel if it has become yellow or stained due to external influences. Usually, doctors do teeth whitening with a laser and a special gel. The laser is used to activate certain particles in the gel, which is first applied to the teeth, which creates the effect of whitening the teeth.
Most often, in one dental procedure performed by experienced doctors of the TurDent clinic, you can whiten your teeth by five tones immediately after treatment. If the doctor is experienced and did everything right, then within the next 48 hours, the teeth will become whiter by several tonnes. With proper care of the oral cavity, the whitening effect after laser whitening with a gel is maintained for many years to come. We are talking about such terms as up to seven years. However, of course, for the sake of such a result, it is worth listening to all the recommendations of our doctors for caring for the oral cavity.
What are the Side Effects of Teeth Whitening?
There are several officially reported side effects of teeth whitening treatment protocols. It is worth noting that the dentist, before starting the dental procedure, must definitely inform you about how the treatment will take place, and what side effects may occur during and after the procedure.
It is important for the patient to know and understand all such points since the patient’s sensations during the operation affect its conduct, how much the doctor uses the gel on the teeth, and how long the laser affects the teeth. Obviously, there are certain norms declared by the treatment protocols, however, most often dentists are oriented and listen to the wishes and feelings of patients.
Among the main side effects are the following:
- Increased tooth sensitivity during and after the procedure
- Feeling of coldness or tingling during the procedure on the teeth.
Feeling of increased sensitivity on the teeth after the procedure can be reduced by using special pastes or rinses. We recommend that you consult with your doctor before choosing any oral care product if you are experiencing tooth sensitivity.
Contraindications for Teeth Whitening
Before starting the whitening procedure, the doctor will examine your mouth and decide if this treatment is right for you. First of all, the dentist makes a decision based on the contraindications of this dental procedure.
Here are some of them:
- You are under 18
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have caries
- Your enamel is damaged
- You are allergic to medications used during the procedure
- You have large fillings or dental crowns on your visible teeth when smiling
As for the last contraindication, it is worth making additional explanations. Crowns and fillings cannot be stained. The laser affects the gel in such a way that whitening can only be done successfully on natural tooth enamel. The gel whitens teeth due to chemical reactions that occur between it, laser, and enamel. Unfortunately, they will not affect the chemical components of crowns or fillings.
What are the Indications for Teeth Whitening?
As with any dental procedure, teeth whitening also has its indications. Once you have declared your desire for a whiter smile, the doctor must consider all the options that modern dentistry has to offer in order to satisfy your request. If teeth whitening is the ideal procedure for you, you can get it already at the first visit to the dentist at the TurDent clinic.
So that you know what you can expect, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the indications for teeth whitening:
- Patient has tartar
- Stains on the enamel due to products that stain the enamel
- Darkening of teeth with age
- Dental plaque on the enamel
It is obvious that if daily, good care for the oral cavity, then this dental procedure can be avoided in principle. Dental plaque and tartar appear on human enamel only as a result of improper and irregular care of the oral cavity. Also, if you avoid excessive consumption of products such as coffee, tea, nicotine and alcohol, the likelihood of darkening of the teeth will decrease by many percent.
All you need to do this is to set aside at least 10 minutes every day for caring for your oral cavity. This will save not only the health of your teeth but also the beauty of your smile.
