Can Yellowed Teeth Become White Again?

Hello. This is Lucid Dental Clinic.

Today, for those who are worried about yellowed teeth,

we would like to talk about 'teeth whitening.'

Teeth that show when you smile have a big impact on

first impressions.

But if your teeth look yellow in the mirror,

it can be hard to smile confidently.

Everyday habits such as coffee, tea, wine, and smoking

cause tooth color to gradually change over time.

One method that can be considered in these cases is 'teeth whitening.'

What is teeth whitening? Teeth whitening is a method of restoring the teeth's original brightness without removing or damaging the teeth, using whitening agents.

Rather than simply removing stains,

it helps improve the color to a brighter shade by breaking down discoloration agents that have penetrated deep into the teeth.

However, depending on the condition of each person's teeth, consultation and diagnosis before treatment are essential.

What are the benefits of Lucid teeth whitening? Lucid teeth whitening is considered one of the treatments that can offer high satisfaction in many aspects.

▪ Whitening effect: The teeth become brighter without shaving or damaging them. ▪ Fast: Positive results can be expected in a relatively short time. ▪ Customized: It can be adjusted according to the degree of discoloration in each person’s teeth. ▪ Aesthetic satisfaction: Many people regain a natural smile thanks to brighter teeth.

Because of these factors, more and more people have been showing interest in Lucid teeth whitening.

So, in what cases is teeth whitening needed? Tooth staining can occur for various reasons, but if any of the following apply, it may be worth considering teeth whitening through a consultation.

▪ If you frequently drink beverages with strong pigments such as coffee or black tea ▪ If your teeth have turned yellow due to smoking ▪ If you need to improve your image ahead of a special occasion such as wedding photography, a photo shoot, or a job interview

However, if you have cavities or gum disease, treatment for those conditions should come first.

This is because the procedure may be limited depending on your oral health condition.

After teeth whitening, to maintain the effect for longer and reduce side effects, it is good to follow the precautions below.
