Whitening lightens the natural colour of the tooth using a peroxide gel. It is different from a cleaning. Scaling removes surface stains from tea, coffee and tobacco, while whitening changes the colour underneath. Many people who ask for whitening actually need a cleaning, and we will tell you so rather than charge the larger fee.
In-clinic whitening is done in a single appointment under our supervision, with your gums protected. Take-home kits use trays made for your teeth and a gentler gel over a couple of weeks. They reach a similar result, just more slowly.
One thing to know before you start: whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings. If you have a crown on a front tooth, whitening the teeth around it will make it look darker. That is exactly why colour matching comes after whitening, never before.
Teeth whitening: what is involved
- 1
Check first
Whitening teeth with decay or swollen gums hurts and can cause damage. We examine your teeth before we whiten.
- 2
Cleaning
Surface stain is removed first, so the gel works on the tooth and not on the deposits.
- 3
Whitening
Your gums are covered and protected, and the gel is applied in cycles. Or we make trays for you to use at home.
- 4
Aftercare
Avoid strongly coloured food and drink, such as tea and coffee, for 48 hours. This is when the teeth pick up stains most easily.
Yellow or brown patches in Jodhpur: is it fluorosis?
Not all discoloured teeth are stained. In western Rajasthan, including Jodhpur district, groundwater often carries high natural fluoride, and children who drink it while their teeth are forming can develop dental fluorosis: white flecks, yellow-brown patches or pitting that are part of the enamel itself. India's National Programme for Prevention and Control of Fluorosis lists Rajasthan among the most affected states.
Fluorosis does not brush off and does not respond well to whitening on its own; whitening can even make the white flecks stand out more. Mild fluorosis often improves with micro-abrasion or resin infiltration, which treat the surface patches directly. Deeper brown staining is usually covered with bonding or veneers. The dentist can tell fluorosis from ordinary staining in a few minutes at the check-up.
Home remedies for yellow teeth: what helps and what harms
Most searches for whiter teeth end at a home remedy, and some of the popular ones damage teeth. Enamel does not grow back, so it is worth knowing which is which.
- Lemon, vinegar or fruit-acid rubs: harmful. Acid dissolves enamel, and thinner enamel shows the yellow layer underneath more.
- Charcoal powder and rough manjan: harmful with regular use. They are abrasive and wear enamel away.
- Baking soda: mildly abrasive. Occasional use removes some surface stain but does not change the tooth's colour.
- Whitening toothpaste: safe, removes surface stain only. It will not whiten the tooth itself.
- What actually works: a professional cleaning for stains, and dentist-supervised peroxide whitening for the natural colour.
Teeth whitening in Jodhpur — common questions
How much does teeth whitening cost in Jodhpur?
The cost of teeth whitening in Jodhpur depends on whether you choose in-clinic whitening in one visit or a take-home kit with custom trays, and on whether a cleaning is needed first. Pain-Off Dental Care in Sardarpura checks your teeth before quoting, because many patients need only a cleaning, which costs less.
Is teeth whitening safe? Does it damage enamel?
Teeth whitening done under a dentist's supervision, at the correct gel strength and with the gums protected, does not damage enamel. Strong gels bought online and used without supervision, or used too often, can. Teeth with decay or gum disease should be treated before whitening, which is why a check-up comes first.
Why are my teeth yellow? (Dant peele kyon hote hain?)
Teeth turn yellow for three main reasons: surface stains from tea, coffee, paan, gutkha and tobacco; the natural darkening of the inner tooth layer with age; and, common in Rajasthan, dental fluorosis from high-fluoride groundwater. Stains respond to cleaning and whitening. Fluorosis usually needs different treatment, such as micro-abrasion or bonding.
How do I make yellow teeth white? (Peele dant safed kaise karein?)
To make yellow teeth white safely, start with a professional cleaning, which removes tea and tobacco stains, then use dentist-supervised peroxide whitening to lighten the tooth itself. Avoid lemon, vinegar and charcoal remedies, which wear away enamel and can make teeth look more yellow over time.
What is the difference between teeth cleaning and teeth whitening?
Teeth cleaning, or scaling and polishing, removes tartar and surface stains from tea, coffee and tobacco. Teeth whitening uses a peroxide gel to lighten the natural colour of the tooth underneath. Many people asking for whitening only need a cleaning, and Pain-Off Dental Care will tell you if that is the case.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Professional teeth whitening usually lasts six months to two years, depending on how much tea, coffee, paan and tobacco you have afterwards. Avoid strongly coloured food and drink for 48 hours after treatment. If you have custom trays, occasional top-ups at home keep the shade.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Teeth whitening does not hurt for most people, but some sensitivity to cold for a day or two afterwards is common and settles on its own. If your teeth are already sensitive, the dentist can use a gentler gel, shorter sessions or a desensitising toothpaste beforehand.
Can gutkha and tobacco stains be removed?
Most gutkha, paan and tobacco stains can be removed with a professional cleaning and polishing, and whitening lightens what remains. The stains come back quickly if the habit continues. Long-term gutkha use also harms the gums and the lining of the mouth, so a dentist should check for white or red patches at the same visit.
Will whitening work on my crowns and fillings?
No, teeth whitening changes the colour of natural teeth only, not crowns, veneers or fillings. If you have them on front teeth, whiten first and then replace or match them to the new shade. Pain-Off Dental Care includes that in the cost upfront so it is not a surprise.
Do you offer laser teeth whitening, and how long does it take?
Yes, Pain-Off Dental Care in Jodhpur offers in-clinic laser teeth whitening, done in one visit of about 60 to 90 minutes, including a short cleaning and protecting the gums. A take-home kit with custom trays is the alternative: two short visits, then about two weeks of wearing the trays at home.
हिंदी में
दांत सफेद करना
दांतों का असली रंग हल्का किया जाता है — सफाई से कहीं आगे।
क्या दांत सफेद कराने से नुकसान होता है?
डॉक्टर की निगरानी में सही मात्रा में कराने पर इनेमल को नुकसान नहीं होता। ऑनलाइन मिलने वाली तेज़ दवाइयों को बार-बार खुद लगाने से नुकसान हो सकता है।
सफेदी कितने दिन रहती है?
छह महीने से दो साल तक — यह चाय, कॉफी और तंबाकू पर निर्भर करता है। कैप और फिलिंग का रंग नहीं बदलता, इसलिए आगे के दांतों पर कैप हो तो योजना पहले बनानी पड़ती है।
