Differences between tooth whitening and tooth cleaning

Tooth whitening and tooth cleaning appear to be the same thing with the same objectives. Although, apparently any bleaching treatment may sound like the same as that of a cleaning solution, in reality, they are miles apart.

To understand the differences, one would have to look into the procedures and the objectives of tooth whitening and tooth cleaning.

Tooth whitening is a treatment that is aimed at regaining the lustrous white color of your teeth. Most people in the world are born with amazing white set of teeth. Over the years of eating, smoking and wining, our teeth lose their natural color. In some cases, the color may be an indication of some dental problems.

Irrespective of the cause of tooth discoloration, people look for a solution that can get them the same old white set of teeth. Bleachers are used to remove the stains, tartars and any pigmentation that may have been embedded in the minutest pores of your teeth. Some tooth whitening solutions use laser treatments for the same. As a result, you can get white, shiny looking teeth after the treatment.

On the other hand, tooth cleaning does not have any objective of trying to make cosmetic changes on your teeth. The primary focus of any tooth cleaning program is to better your dental health. It involves treating any germs that may be there in your teeth and mouth and it removes all stains and pigments that may have got docketed into your gums or posterior teeth.

Tooth cleaning treatments are also used as preventive measures to avoid periodontal disease and a horde of other dental problems. In short, tooth cleaning programs are for the better health of your teeth and are also the first stage of treatment for a wide variety of dental ailments.

Looking at all the aspects of tooth whitening and tooth cleaning, hopefully you have got a clear idea of what their differences are. The only times your dentist at the clinic would use the two procedures in conjunction are when either you ask for it or if a dentist has to treat some of your dental ailments prior to going for tooth whitening.
