Teeth whitening and oral hygiene in Rome
Dental Practice in Rome
When talking about white teeth and teeth whitening treatments, there is often a lot of confusion. It is one thing to clean stained or yellowed teeth, another to whiten them.
Cleaning teeth, aided by a very abrasive toothpaste, can help remove stains and restore the natural colour of teeth. It must be emphasised, however, that this colour is not as white as milk. Having teeth whiter than their natural colour is not impossible and above all, thanks to the advances made by cosmetic dentistry, has no contraindications.
Contrary to what one might think, tooth colour does not come from the enamel, but from the dentine. Over the years, it was recognised that the best products for teeth whitening were those based on peroxides; these penetrate the enamel down to the dentine and oxidise the coloured substances, giving the teeth a shine.

Brushing techniques
Learning to brush your teeth correctly is the first step to take to reduce the risks of dental caries and gum infections. To brush your teeth correctly, you must dedicate 20 seconds to each quadrant (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left), both in the morning and in the evening. Start with the inner and outer surfaces, brushing at a 45 degree angle with short, half-tooth length movements towards the gum line. Make sure you reach the back teeth.
Next, move on to the chewing surfaces. Hold the toothbrush horizontally and brush forwards and backwards over these surfaces. Once you reach the inner surfaces of the front teeth, turn the toothbrush upright and gently brush above and below with the tip of the bristles. Brush your tongue in back-to-front movements to remove food debris along with odour-causing bacteria and thus freshen your breath. For orthodontic
consultations in Rome, contact our practice now.
