Dentists typically recommend getting one or two professional whitening treatments per year. At-home whitening kits can be used for up to 14 consecutive days. People who have gotten professional whitening can maintain their results by using these kits a few times a year.

Darkening or relapse of the tooth shade is expected after whitening. Relapse of shade occurs almost immediately as the freshly whitened dehydrated tooth rehydrates. Repetitive prolonged exposure of the chemical is the only way to achieve optimal results.

However, it is essential to whiten your teeth safely and effectively to prevent damage and sensitivity. The recommended frequency for teeth whitening is no more than once a day, but preferably every other day, and you should take breaks in between whitening sessions.

No matter what you do, your teeth will always appear slightly off-white because that is their natural state. Why is that so? Because the structure of your teeth is composed of dentin and enamel, making them appear discolored in real life.

For example, if a stain develops underneath your tooth's semi-translucent enamel, or if it's the result of damage or infection within your tooth, then no amount of teeth-whitening solution will be able to erase them.

External and internal stains

These external stains cannot be removed simply by brushing, and are one of the most common causes of tooth discolouration. On the other hand, if you've suffered trauma or injury to your teeth, you might be left with an internal stain that can't be improved or removed by brushing.
