How to whiten yellow gums

Yellow gums are a problem that many people have, and this problem usually exists at the same time as yellow teeth. If you want to make your teeth look better, you can take some medical methods to change your yellow teeth. So, in today's clinical medicine, what methods can make yellow teeth whiter? Let me introduce the specific method to you below!

1. Use tooth powder

There are many tooth powders on the market now, you can try buying some and using them at home. After one week of use, there will be obvious results. If your teeth are yellowish in color, you may need to go to a dentist for help.

2. Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is mainly used to remove dental calculus, which can easily lead to the accumulation of dental plaque, causing gingivitis and periodontal disease. During the treatment, the calculus on the tooth neck and adjacent surfaces is removed, and the teeth will also appear whiter. Thick stains can also be mostly removed by ultrasonic cleaning. However, staining is difficult to remove where there are pits, grooves, or adjacent surfaces on the teeth.

3. Active tooth bleaching

Use a personal teeth whitening tray, put in 10% carbonate hydrogen peroxide, and put it firmly on the teeth. As the drug takes effect for a longer time, the color of the teeth will gradually fade and whiten. This method is simple to operate and consumers can do it themselves at home. They can decide the number of teeth to be bleached, the number of times to be bleached, and the duration of each bleaching session. However, its treatment course is relatively long, about 2 weeks, to achieve the whitening effect that most patients want. In addition, the drug itself can cause some damage to teeth and soft tissues, so it is best to do it under the guidance of a dentist.

4. Laser Teeth Whitening

By using a higher concentration of bleach (H2O2) and strengthening the bleaching effect of hydrogen peroxide through special substances, the organic pigments in the teeth are bleached into a hydrophilic and pigment-free structure, achieving a safe whitening effect. A treatment lasts 3 hours and can achieve the effect of whitening teeth in a short time. Although hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth, it will more or less damage the teeth themselves and the soft tissues around the teeth. The discomfort of teeth and soft tissues after whitening will return to normal in about a week.
