Hello!
This is Lucid Dental Clinic.
Today, we’d like to tell you about a way to boost your confidence with white teeth:
“Teeth whitening.”

What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a procedure that makes discolored or stained teeth
whiter and brighter.
Because of daily habits such as food, coffee, and smoking,
teeth gradually become yellowed.
To improve this, using whitening agents or
receiving professional treatment is what we call “teeth whitening.”
Teeth whitening is broadly divided into at-home whitening and
professional whitening.
There are whitening products that can be used easily at home,
but to maximize the effect and minimize side effects,
it is best to receive treatment at a specialized medical institution such as a Yeoksam Station dental clinic.

What are the precautions for teeth whitening?
There are things to be careful about before and after teeth whitening.
Following them well can make whitening more effective.
- Check your tooth condition before treatment
Before whitening, it is important to check whether you have cavities or gum disease.
At Yeoksam Station Dental Clinic, we carefully examine the condition of your teeth
and then decide whether whitening is appropriate.
- Avoid strongly pigmented foods
Foods with strong pigments such as coffee, black tea, wine, and curry
can reduce the whitening effect.
It is best to avoid them for a certain period after treatment.
- Proper oral hygiene management
To maintain clean teeth even after whitening, it is best to brush thoroughly
and combine this with floss and mouthwash.
- Temporary tooth sensitivity
After treatment, some people may experience temporary
tooth sensitivity.
However, this is a normal reaction.
If symptoms continue, it is best to take pain relievers.
- Food and drinks
Hot or cold foods and drinks can put stress on the teeth, so
it is best to avoid them as much as possible.

Lucid Dental Clinic teeth whitening procedure
Teeth whitening is carried out in the following steps.
- Consultation and diagnosis
First, we check the patient’s dental condition
and decide whether whitening is needed.
- Scaling and tooth surface preparation
Before whitening, plaque and tartar on the tooth surface are removed
to help the whitening agent be absorbed better.
- Applying the whitening agent and light exposure
After applying the whitening agent to the teeth, a special light is used
to maximize the effect.
This process takes about 15 to 20 minutes,
and may be repeated several times depending on the need.
- Post-treatment care guidance
After the procedure, we explain the care instructions along with precautions.
Teeth whitening is not only about cosmetic improvement,
but also plays an important role in maintaining clean and healthy teeth.
As your smile becomes brighter, your confidence
will naturally rise as well, right?
