Teeth Whitening FAQs
Is teeth whitening safe?
Tooth whitening is extremely safe with over 30 years usage. There may be some sensitivity during treatment but this is short lived.
Can I use over the counter kits?
Effective Tooth whitening products cannot be legally sold over the counter due the concentrations of the active ingredients. Over the counter products will do very little for you.
Can a single dark tooth be whitened?
This depends upon the cause of the dark colour, which can include a dead nerve, discoloured fillings, veneers or crowns.
How can I look after my teeth once they have been whitened?
You can help to keep your teeth white by cutting down on the amount of food and drink you have that can stain teeth. Don’t forget, stopping smoking can also help prevent discolouration and staining.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening is a process which bleaches the teeth to make them lighter. Teeth whitening cannot make your teeth brilliant white but it can lighten the existing colour by around eight shades and produce a clean fresh finish which covers staining and discolouration.
Will teeth whitening remove stains?
Generally, teeth whitening does remove stains but it can depend upon the product you use and also what has caused the stains in the first place.
Natural ageing
As we age, our teeth naturally become yellower and darker, this change happens over time as the enamel gets thinner and the dentine darkens. Whitening toothpaste and home whitening kits typically do not work on this type of discolouration. Teeth whitening from your dentist can make a difference to this discolouration – the teeth will appear lighter and brighter but won’t return to the whiteness you had when you were younger
External Tooth Discolouration
this is the most common cause of teeth discolouration and is caused by food containing tannins including tea, coffee, carrots, oranges and other foods which can darken or yellow teeth.
Teeth whitening can work well for stubborn brown or yellow stains. If whitening is not successful then you can discuss other options with your dentist such as veneers which can cover stubborn stains or intrinsic discolouration which doesn’t respond well to teeth whitening treatment…
