Teeth whitening is a bleaching procedure that is used to remove the yellow color from teeth. Bleaching the enamel may also make it whiter and shinier. Teeth whitening treatments contain chemicals such as carbamide and hydrogen peroxide, which can only be used by dental specialists. Some of the home remedies for whitening teeth include oil pulling, brushing with baking soda, using hydrogen peroxide, and utilizing activated charcoal. One should not rely solely on home remedies to address tooth discoloration. If the symptoms do not improve with home remedies, then they should seek the opinion of a skilled doctor about teeth whitening procedures.

What is LED teeth whitening and how does it work?

Expert opinion from Dr. Alan Thomas Charly
MBBS · 1 years of experience · India

LED teeth whitening, also known as light-activated teeth whitening, is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a specialized LED light to enhance the effects of a tooth whitening gel or solution. The process typically involves coating the teeth with a gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide and is activated by an LED light. Stains and discolourations on the tooth's surface are chemically broken down more quickly by the energy of the light. This procedure aids tooth whitening and produces a whiter, more attractive smile. The procedure is noted for its efficiency and quickness in lightening teeth. It is often finished in only one office visit.
