Types of teeth whitening

There is also tray whitening that is done at home with custom trays that are filled with teeth whitener and can be worn day or night, depending on the concentration of the gel.
Internal whitening
Internal teeth whitening is a technique used only on teeth that are severely stained due to trauma or root canal treatment (endodontics).
Unlike external whitening, which acts on the entire mouth, internal whitening is performed specifically on a single tooth and concentrates on the internal structures of the tooth, in the pulp chamber. This procedure lightens the inner layer of the tooth, that is, the dentin.
It is important to keep in mind that to carry out internal whitening, it is necessary that the dental structure is in good condition.
