Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2005bleaching v.s. whitening (better now?)
I have just across an appearance by a local 'cosmetic' dentist. He mentions that bleaching and whitening are different. He says that: Bleaching puts in an artificial colour. Whitening just dissolves the unnatural yellow pigment leaving you a natural white behind. I take it that whitening is the use of carbamide peroxide and/or hydrogen peroxide gels. So how does one bleach teeth than? I.e. introduce an artificial colour? As far as I have been concerned, these terms were synonymous and interchangeable. P.S. so Whamatus... is that better??? >I have just across an appearance by a local 'cosmetic' dentist. He mentions >that bleaching and whitening are different.

Artificial colors are *removed* by bleaching. i.e. coffee, tea, tobacco, marinara, etc... >As far as I have been concerned, these terms were synonymous and >interchangeable. Yes they are.
