• First, the gums are protected with a barrier.
• The trained dentist then applies recommended whitening agents to your stained teeth. The dentist knows the amount of whitening agent to be used. The whitening agent is usually some form of peroxide.
• This applied whitening agent is left on the surface. It is left for some time to permit oxidizing to take place so that stains are removed. The oxidizing is affected by light. The time to be left is decided by the dentist depending on the intensity of the stains. The dental area is then rinsed thoroughly.
• Your dentist would repeat this process for 3-4 times again depending on the intensity or type of the of the stain on the same day.
