Hello, this is Yonsei JW Dental Clinic,
If you have bright and healthy teeth, you can regain your natural beautiful smile, and your confidence will grow even more. This is one of the reasons why there is increasing interest in orthodontics and aesthetic dental treatments. If your teeth color is not appealing, it can affect your interpersonal relationships in social settings.
Many people consider teeth whitening as a solution to this issue, so today, let's briefly take a look at whitening.
There are various factors that affect tooth color. These days, many cases of tooth discoloration are caused by the increased consumption of coffee and smoking. Some people are also born with naturally yellow teeth. Whitening is not only necessary for discoloration but can also be needed due to cavities. Teeth whitening can be done professionally by a dentist or at home by yourself.
In cases where the tooth has turned dark due to a cavity causing nerve damage, or when the nerve has died due to a strong impact, or when long-term use of antibiotics (like tetracycline antibiotics) has caused discoloration, non-vital tooth whitening is recommended. Non-vital tooth whitening involves first removing the dead nerve through root canal treatment, then injecting a whitening agent into the empty space inside the tooth to whiten it.
Most cases of external staining are caused by nicotine from smoking, or from food and drinks like coffee, tea, and wine. In these cases, professional whitening can brighten your teeth in just one day using high-concentration whitening agents and special lights without damaging your teeth. Combining professional whitening with at-home whitening can enhance the whitening effect even further.

In the case of at-home whitening, it is essential to use it under the guidance of a professional, as misuse can lead to serious side effects.
Even after teeth whitening, discoloration can occur again depending on your diet and oral care habits, so thorough aftercare is necessary. It is recommended to have regular dental check-ups and scaling to maintain the results.

Teeth Whitening Q&A
Q: Is teeth whitening a safe procedure?
The teeth whitening agents used to brighten teeth have been approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, ensuring their safety. While you may experience temporary sensitivity during the whitening process, this occurs when the whitening agent stimulates the nerves in the tissue where blood vessels and nerves are distributed. It is not harmful to the teeth, and the sensitivity typically subsides within 1-2 days, so there’s no need to worry.
Q: Can all yellowed teeth be whitened with teeth whitening?
Most tooth discoloration is caused by external factors. Teeth can darken due to frequent consumption of highly pigmented foods or smoking. Discoloration caused by these pigment deposits can be brightened through teeth whitening treatments. However, if the teeth are naturally yellow or discolored due to systemic diseases, non-vital tooth whitening is recommended. In these cases, the whitening effect may be somewhat reduced.
