Understanding the Difference: Whitening Toothpaste vs. Bleaching
In cosmetic dentistry, “teeth whitening” and “bleaching” are often used interchangeably to describe treatments that brighten teeth, but they actually refer to different processes.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), “bleaching” involves products that contain active whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These chemicals penetrate the tooth enamel to remove deep stains and can lighten teeth beyond their natural shade. In contrast, “whitening” refers to non-bleaching methods that target surface stains caused by food, drinks, or tobacco, improving brightness without altering the tooth’s natural color.
How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
Some people opt for over-the-counter teeth whitening products because of cost or lack of insurance, but this approach is not recommended. Teeth whitening is a precise procedure best performed by a professional to guarantee both safety and effectiveness.
In-office whitening uses a high-strength hydrogen peroxide gel, often activated with a special light or laser for optimal results. A protective barrier shields your gums and lips, ensuring the gel treats only your teeth. Your dentist may also create custom trays for at-home touch-ups, helping maintain long-lasting, brilliant results while avoiding the risks associated with DIY whitening methods.
