Teeth whitening is the process of removing stains and discolouration from teeth and improving their colour through a bleaching process to make them look “whiter”.
For heavily stained teeth, a procedure as simple as a scale and polish from a dental hygienist can significantly improve their appearance.
Most cosmetic dental practices offer a combination of immediate, in-surgery teeth whitening and professional take-home tooth-whitening kits with custom-made trays. Both procedures are based on a bleaching process that uses a peroxide-based compound of varying strength (3%-30% peroxide). The higher the concentration of peroxide in the compound, the more powerful the bleaching compound is. While this makes it more effective at whitening the teeth, it also has greater potential to cause damage to the surrounding gum tissue and your lips.

Smile Design Wheel: A simplified protocol for smile design |
|
Modern trends in cosmetic dentistry and media coverage of smile
makeovers have increased public awareness of dental aesthetics. People
now know that smile aesthetics plays a key role in their sense of
well-being, social acceptance, success at work and in relationships,
and self-confidence. The aesthetic expectations and demands of dental
patients have increased substantially. Now, a glowing, healthy and
vibrant smile is no longer available only to millionaires and movie
stars. Therefore, many dentists are incorporating various smile design
protocols in their daily practices to meet the increasing aesthetic
demands of their patients.

Botox and dermal fillers: the ‘next big thing’ in dentistry |
Esthetic dentistry has been an absolute boom over the last 30 years when it comes to such innovative techniques as teeth whitening and minimally invasive veneers, such as Aurum Ceramics Cristal Veneers and many others. Once the teeth look good, what about the peri-oral areas around the mouth? If the teeth look good but we ignore the rest of the face, then we have really limited what we have done in esthetic dentistry. It is time to give serious consideration to extending the oral-systemic connection to the esthetic realms of the face, which dentists are more familiar with than any other health-care practitioner.

80% от бактериите в устата се намират върху зъбите. Миенето на зъбите и почистването им с конец отстранява само част от бактериите в устата. Всъщност много бактерии живеят по повърхността на езика и бузите. Те водят до натрупването на плака, която може да причини кариеси и заболявания на венците. Тези микроорганизми са също и основната причина за лош дъх. За да поддържа човек личната си хигиена, той трябва да почиства езика си в продължение на 10 сек. два пъти дневно. Четката за зъби трябва да се сменя на всеки три месеца.

What Is A Dental Abscess? What Causes Dental Abscesses? |
A dental abscess, or tooth abscess, is an accumulation of pus that
forms inside the teeth or gums. The abscess typically originates from a
bacterial infection, often one that has accumulated in the soft pulp of
the tooth.
Bacteria exist in plaque, a by-product of food, saliva and bacteria in
the mouth which sticks to the teeth and damages them, as well as the
gums. If the plaque is not removed by regular and proper tooth brushing
and flossing the bacteria may spread within the soft tissue inside the
tooth or gums, eventually resulting in an abscess.
