Dental Bleaching for Fluorosis Stains – A Confident New Smile

 

Mr. Nitesh Katarmal, an NRI from Australia, visited our clinic with a long-standing concern — brown stains on his teeth. He shared that the discoloration had been present since childhood. Growing up, he consumed borewell water in his native village in Kachchh, an area known as a fluoride belt. On examination, this was diagnosed as a moderate case of dental fluorosis.

👉 What is Dental Fluorosis?

Dental fluorosis is one of the common endemic conditions in India, especially in fluoride-rich areas like Kachchh. It affects not only teeth but also the musculoskeletal system in severe cases. On teeth, it appears as yellowish to brownish stains and, depending on severity, may even cause pitting and surface irregularities. These stains are intrinsic (deep within the tooth) and cannot be removed by regular brushing.

😔 Such discoloration often impacts a person’s confidence and willingness to smile, making them hide one of their best expressions of happiness.

💎 For Mr. Nitesh, we performed a professional teeth whitening (dental bleaching) procedure under strict rubber dam isolation to protect the gums and soft tissues. The entire procedure was completed in just one painless visit, leaving him with a brighter, more confident smile.

Now, Mr. Nitesh can smile freely without hesitation — proof that a healthy, beautiful smile knows no borders! 🌍
