The history behind Teeth Whitening

Are you thinking teeth whitening is a relatively new thing? Well, not Teeth whitening processes have been around for a lot longer than most people realize. Although teeth bleaching officially started sometime in the late 1980s. It’s said that dentists stumbled upon the technique a couple decades earlier–BY ACCIDENT!

Peroxide was used in gel form. as an antiseptic treatment for gums. It didn’t take long to see that a side effect of that treatment was that it whitened the teeth. Mass marketing of tooth-whitening products began soon after.

Even before modern times, teeth whitening was desirable. White teeth were a mark of beauty and a sign of wealth for Ancient Egyptians who created a whitening paste using ground pumice stone mixed with wine vinegar.

It is said that Ancient Romans whitened their teeth using urine as a bleaching agent. (Glad we found new ways to remove stains!)

Drinking coffee, dark colored sodas, and tea, as well as wine, leave discoloration as reminders.  People who smoke or take certain medications such as tetracycline notice marks and stains.
