Polishing removes the fluoride-rich layer and actually harms the tooth. Experts now believe that routine polishing is not good for teeth.

The Best Whitening Agent

Over-the-counter methods, on the other hand, use "7-10% hydrogen peroxide or a derivative called carbamide peroxide. You might see instant results with this product, but they will be slight." He explains that the longer the active peroxide stays on the teeth, the better the results.

If you opt for an at-home teeth whitening kit, you can generally expect your results to last for about four to six months with touch-ups as needed. However, if you choose to get your teeth professionally whitened at the dentist's office, your results could last up to a year or even longer with proper care.

If your goal is to get a bright white smile, teeth whitening can be a safe option. But it's important to talk to a dentist first about your options and do your research. Research shows that hydrogen peroxide products might damage proteins in your teeth's dentin layer.

How do celebrities get their teeth so white? ›

For celebrity-level whiteness, cosmetic dentists will usually use one of three different procedures: professional whitening treatments, veneers, or crowns.

Whitening rinses are another option that people with yellow teeth or stained teeth turn to. Whitening rinses contain oxygen sources such as hydrogen peroxide which reacts with the compounds of stained teeth to help remove the stain. These whitening rinses should be used based on the instructions given on the product.

One of the most common side effects is tooth sensitivity, which can occur during or after treatment. Overuse or misuse of teeth whitening products can also lead to enamel damage, gum irritation, and discoloration. Additionally, some types of tooth discoloration may not respond well to teeth whitening treatments.

However, while plaque needs to be removed, it shouldn't be done at home. It should be done by a dental professional, a dental hygienist or dentist. Although plaque scrapers are widely available in shops, it's not a good idea to use them yourself.

Additionally, instead of removing plaque, when these tools are not used correctly, you can push it underneath the gum line, which can cause gumline cavities. Unless you are a trained dental hygienist or dentist, using these tools is highly likely to increase the risk of infections, gum recession and even tooth loss.

When dental plaque is not removed effectively, it can build up on the teeth and gums. Over time, this can become hard, and is then referred to as tartar or calculus. Performing a DIY 'scale and polish' must never be done. Such cleaning must only ever be carried out by a professional (I don't even scale my own teeth!)

While it may be tempting to try and remove tartar on your own, it is not recommended to scrape it off using sharp objects such as dental picks or metal tools. Improper tartar removal can damage the enamel and gums, leading to further oral health issues.
