work and how effective is it? |
All toothpaste is designed to remove stains from the
tooth surface using soft abrasives. There is whitening toothpaste with soft
polishing/chemical agents that further remove stains. Whitening toothpaste can
remove only surface stains and does not contain bleach.

In contrast, non-prescription professional whitening
products contain hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching agent) that helps remove stains
on the surface and deep in the tooth. Whitening toothpaste for home use is not
as effective for achieving whitening results that your dentist gives by
vigorous whitening or whitening to the stool.

I want to change the shape of my teeth. What options
are available?
There is a wide range of options for changing the shape
of the teeth, lengthening the teeth, closing the spaces between the teeth, or
restoring cracked/broken teeth. These options include gluing, crowns,
reshaping, and veneers.
Dentistry
In this procedure, a tooth-colored resin (made of
durable plastic) is applied to the tooth surface and hardened with the help of
a special lumen that "sticks" to the tooth.
Crown of teeth
These "capsules" in the shape of teeth are
placed on the teeth. When the crowns are cemented in place, they cover the
entire visible part of the tooth that sits above the gum line.
Remodeling
Tooth reshaping or shaping (also known as enamel
plastics, odontoblasts, thinning, or stripping) is a procedure in which small
amounts of tooth enamel are removed to change the length, surface, or shape of
the tooth.
Veneers
These are sometimes called porcelain veneers / dental
porcelain laminates. These are ultra-thin custom shells made of tooth-colored
materials designed to mask the surface of the front teeth. They are glued to
the front surface of the teeth.

All of these options differ in terms of cost,
"chair time" required to complete the procedure, stain resistance
characteristics, durability, and the best cosmetic approach to solving the
problem. Consult your dentist to find out which one is right for you.
What are dental sealants? Who can get them? How long
will they last?
The thin plastic coating painted on the chewing
surfaces of the teeth, such as posterior teeth (molars, premolars) to protect
against caries, is called a sealant. The liquid sealant, which is painted on
the quick connections in the recesses and grooves of the teeth to form a shield
over the tooth enamel to protect it.
Children often have seals on their permanent teeth
(molars and premolars) after their teeth appear. In this way, dental sealants
will be able to protect their teeth during the period when they are more
susceptible to caries, from 6 to 14 years. However, adults can also benefit
from sealants, even if they do not have fillings or caries.
Although sealants can prevent tooth decay for a long
time, they should always be examined for wear or cracking during regular visits
to the dentist.
