Tooth whitening or tooth bleaching is the process of lightening the color of human teeth. Whitening is often desirable when teeth become yellow over time for a number of reasons, and can be achieved by changing the intrinsic or extrinsic color of the tooth enamel.

What is meant by teeth whitening?

Tooth whitening is any process that lightens the color of a tooth. Whitening may be accomplished by the physical removal of the stain or a chemical reaction to lighten the tooth color. Although teeth whitening cannot turn the teeth brilliant white, it can be a very effective way of lightening the existing color, without causing any damage to the tooth’s surface.
