Internal Tooth Whitening



When dental stains are unsightly and we opt for tooth whitening at the dentist's office, one of the most effective treatment options is the internal teeth bleaching.

The treatment consists in lightening the color of our teeth by placing a whitening gel to the inside of the bone , so it would not be effective for some stains, including those caused by metal filled or damaged blood vessels.

Thus in case of the internal teeth whitening dentist cuts a hole, usually in the back of the tooth, so it does not see with the naked eye and bleach are placed in the hollow area, which subsequently sealed with a temporary filling.

The product is left on for a week or less, so that the gel filling and are completely dry and then we go back to the dentist. If we are satisfied with the new tone, our dentist will fill the hole with a tooth colored filling. However some time, the color is not clear enough and one need to repeat the process.

Sometimes internal bleaching needs combined with other whitening techniques like LASER teeth bleaching, Teeth whitening gel, whitening strips etc., to achieve the desired effect.

How I Get White Teeth



Getting pearly white teeth is the strong desire of many and I include my name too in the list. There are several ways by which one can get the perfect white teeth. But maintaining the whiteness for a long time is also a need. I think my teeth are quite white (but a little less than the whiteness of my eyeballs). Today I will share with you how I get this whiteness.


  1. After every six to eight months I consider using teeth whitening treatments. I hate spending huge, so I choose using at-home products. And trust me the results are pretty good! I use whitening strips before bedtime. However you can choose to use gels or pastes too.
  2. Once a week I brush with a paste of baking soda and fresh cut lime juice. It helps in maintaining the whiteness of the teeth.
  3. I love eating banana a lot; it really adds lot to the good health. And I rub my teeth with the front side of the peel. Though there are many who say this is nothing but a myth, but I don’t agree.
  4. I quit smoking 2 years back, and drink hardly 2 cups of tea or coffee a day. I don’t think it harms much. But it is always better if you can STOP it all together. I tried, but…..couldn’t help drinking 2 cups!
  5. I have loads of natural colored drinks, but prefer sipping with a long straw, so that the liquid directly goes into my stomach.
