In order to understand how this process works to
whiten the teeth, it is essential to know about
the anatomy of teeth.

• The human teeth basically comprise three
  different layers. These include the pulp layer,
  dentin, and enamel. The enamel is an extremely
  hard, outermost protective layer of the tooth
  that you can see. It is the layer that you brush
  daily. Underneath the enamel, the dentin layer is
  present which is a bit porous and less hard than
  enamel. Beneath this layer is the pulp layer and
  the pores in the dentin provide passageways
  towards it. This innermost layer contains the
  nerves and blood vessels.
• When you have stained teeth, the stains are
  usually on the enamel. Sometimes, the dentin may
  also get stained. Enamel, being the outer layer
  is always visible while the dentin can also be
  seen if the enamel is worn down. You might not
  know that the colour of dentin is naturally
  yellow and this can be the reason that your
  teeth appear to be stained when the layer is
  visible because of thin enamel.
• The types of teeth stains are divided into two
  types based on the layer which is stained.
• Extrinsic Stains
• As the name indicates, these are the stains
  present on the enamel layer. The factors causing
  these stains are all external including high
  consumption of beverages and pigmented edibles,
  smoking and bad oral hygiene. Moreover, the
  intake of some antibiotics can also result in
  staining teeth.
• Intrinsic Stains
• The stains that damage the dentin layer of teeth
  are termed as intrinsic. The factors causing
  these are mostly uncontrollable including age,
  genetics, and developmental abnormalities before
  tooth eruption. Moreover, excessive fluoride and
  the use of some antibiotics can also cause
  staining of the dentin layer.
• The experts say that the majority of the stains
  are actually comprised of such compounds that
  are colourless. These compounds have a natural
  potential to convert into chromogens that are
  pigmented. These compounds, when accumulate on
  the teeth, cause staining and show some kind of
  colour because of pigment production.
• You might be surprised to know that teeth stains
  are of different colours. Interestingly, the
  colour of your teeth stains reveals a lot about
  your eating and drinking habits.
• For instance,
• The yellow stains of nicotine and dark tar stains
  are caused by smoking
• Brownish Yellow spots on the teeth show you drink
  too much dark colas, tea or coffee
• Yellowish stains often result when the enamel
  thins down and dentin starts to become visible.

• Blue-Green or Yellow-Green stains that occur in a
  striped pattern in the horizontal direction are
  often caused because of the intake of antibiotics
  such as doxycycline and tetracycline
• Greyish-black, blue or green stains are caused
  because of metallic restorations
• Brown spots or lines and chalky white patches are
  caused because of excessive fluoride

How Teeth Whitening Work The process of teeth
whitening fights these stains via a chemical
procedure known as oxidation. The whitening
agent used by the dentists usually contains
carbamide or hydrogen peroxide as the active
ingredient. When the carbamide peroxide comes in
contact with the teeth, it breaks up into
Hydrogen Peroxide. During the process of teeth
whitening, Hydrogen Peroxide is oxidized and
results in easy breaking of chemical bonds found
in chromogens. Consequently, the molecules of
the chromogens are scattered which results in the
lightening of stains on the teeth. Here it is
important to mention that the result of the teeth
whitening process is not the same for every
individual. Some may get crystal white teeth
while for some, the result may not be as good as
they want. The impact of the whitening process
depends on your natural teeth colour. To your
surprise, white is not the only natural colour
for teeth. Depending upon the genetics, the
teeth can have different underlying colour tones.
