<\/p>\nTeeth whitening is one of the most sought-after dental treatments today. Many people want their teeth to look whiter this time around. However, despite a growing number of people who get their teeth whitened, some people are hesitant to do it. The popularity of the treatment has brought misconceptions too! Today, we will explain these misconceptions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Myth 1: You can have Crowns, Venners and Fillings Whitened?<\/strong><\/p>\n Anything that isn\u2019t natural cannot be whitened and won\u2019t respond to the whitening process. Therefore, it\u2019s not true that you can have veneers, crowns and filling whitened.<\/p>\n Myth 2: Acidic fruits can whiten the teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the most popular myths today. However, it is a myth because there is no scientific evidence to back it up. Also, keep in mind that acidic fruits can be damaging to the tooth enamel, which means that they could do more harm than good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Myth 3: It can remove all stains and discoloration?<\/strong><\/p>\n Actually not all stains and discoloration can be removed via a teeth whitening procedure. There are a lot of factors that affect this, such as genetics, age and stain level. As we age, the tooth enamel breaks down and older teeth can take on a yellowish appearance due ti underlying dentin. In turn, this will make teeth whitening more difficult.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Myth 4: The teeth whitening effect remains forever?<\/strong><\/p>\n It is not true. Daily meals leave dental plaque and eventually color the teeth yellowish. It happens even if you lead a healthy lifestyle. In fact it is not always possible to completely abandon coloring food, coffee, wines, juices and other staining food.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Myth 5: Teeth whitening will hurt tooth enamel?<\/strong><\/p>\n There is no evidence at all that tooth whitening will in any way damage tooth enamel. Your tooth may be slightly temperature sensitive for a few days depending on the level of whitening you get. This may have led to misconceptions about teeth whitening, but there will be no damage to your enamel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Myth 6: Teeth Whitening causes extreme sensitivity?<\/strong><\/p>\n On the whole, teeth whitening shouldn\u2019t hurt, so if it\u2019s stinging, burning or irritating your mouth in any other way, you should stop that particular treatment immediately. But, a little bit of sensitivity isn\u2019t uncommon.<\/p>\n Teeth whitening is one of the most sought-after dental treatments today.
