What is Teeth Whitening?
The first noticeable part of the tooth structure is the tooth enamel.
The dentin layer underthe enamel is responsible forthe color changes that occur on the enamel surface, which can be aesthetically disturbing . Tooth enamel, whose natural color is white, reflects the color of the dentin layer under it with its translucent feature.
Over time, the teeth turn yellow or brown under the influence of tobacco products and coloring foods. Such coloring products are made from pulp. They reach the dentin layer, causing further yellowing of the naturally yellow dentin . The color change observed on the enamel surface is actually a reflection of the dentin.
