What is the difference in a teeth cleaning and a dentist bleaching your teeth?
Teeth cleaning removes the tartar from your teeth whereas bleaching your teeth removes the stains from the enamel and below.





A cleaning is like scraping dirt off of a white shirt. a bleaching gets the stains that are left.
Reply:cleaning gets the crud off, bleaching turns your teeth whiter by removing stains
Reply:Cleaning only removes the dirt and loose plaque.





Bleaching is a staining process that actually changes the colour of the teeth using chemicals.





It is more expensive than just cleaning teeth and the process is more cosmetic
Reply:I%26#039;m not a dentist so hopefully someone who is will weigh in with a better answer, but a cleaning is really to remove plague and tartar while a bleaching is a purely cosmetic procedure. It does nothing to help the health of your teeth and gums.
Reply:Exactly what you are asking. Cleaning, cleans your teeth, bleaching whitens them
Reply:A cleaning scrapes off the scale of plaque that collect on your teeth. Bleaching just whitens the tooth surface, but has not effect on the scales of plaque. You need to do both.

Reply:In bleaching the gel is a acid which opens up microscopic inperfections, tine pores if you will, in the enamel. This lets out stains such as tanins, tarter, and any other crud inside the tooth. This is why we tell you don%26#039;t go out and drink Red wine after 1 hour of bleaching. It can make things worse. we give you special toothpastes designed to close the pore thereby %26quot;locking%26quot; in the whiteness.





A cleaning is a cleaning, polishing and debridement. If your teeth are getting whiter at your cleanings, you need serious oral hygiene instructions





Ask your dentist.
