  1. Some Questions about Teeth Whitening Treatment

  2. What is Tooth Whitening? • Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural color of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. It cannot make a complete color change, but it may lighten the existing shade.

  3. What does Tooth Whitening involve? • Professional bleaching is the most usual method of tooth whitening. Your dental team will be able to tell you if you are suitable for the treatment and will supervise it. First the dental team will put a gel on your gums to protect them. Then apply the whitening product to your teeth, using a specially made tray which fits into your mouth.

  4. How long does this take? • The total treatment can usually be done within three to four weeks. First, you will need two or three visits to the dentist. Once your dental team has started the treatment, you will need to continue the treatment at home. This means regularly applying the whitening product over two to four weeks for 30 minutes to one hour at a time.

  5. How long will my teeth stay whiter? • The effects of whitening are thought to last up to three years. However, this will vary from person to person. The effect is less likely to last as long if you smoke, or eat or drink products that can stain your teeth. Ask your dental team for their opinion before you start the treatment.

  6. What are the side effects? • Some people may find that their more sensitive to cold during or after the treatment. Others may have discomfort in the gums, a sore throat on the gum line. These symptoms are usually temporary and should disappear within a few days of the treatment finishing.

  7. What about whitening toothpastes? • There are several whitening toothpastes on the market. Although they do not affect the natural color of your teeth, they may be effective at removing staining. Therefore, they may improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Whitening toothpastes may also help the effect to last, once your teeth have been professionally whitened.

  8. How can I look after my teeth once they have been whitened? We recommend the following tips to take care of your teeth: • Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, with a fluoride toothpaste. • Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks. • Visit your dental team regularly, as often as they recommend.
