What you need to know about tooth whitening?
When you decide to do teeth whitening treatment, you will first need to have a teeth examination and cleaning. It is important that all your teeth and gums are healthy before you proceed with the whitening process. This is why we do not recommend for you to do over the counter teeth whitening systems. Teeth cleaning will also provide a clean surface so that teeth whitening gel can be evenly distributed on your teeth.
While this process is done, as well as a few days after, we recommend that you do not take any dark beverages, such as black coffee, red wine, etc. These types of liquids will make stains on your teeth while you are still in the process of whitening them.
Who can whiten their teeth?
Everyone that has their natural teeth can whiten them. The only rule is that teeth and gums need to be healthy. Also, all the cracked filling in your mouth have to be changed.
Regarding the old filling, if you have some of them on the visible surface of the teeth, you will have to change them after the teeth whitening process is done. Materials such as composite and ceramics don’t change the color after tooth whitening is done. This is why you will need to match them afterward (if they are visible when you smile). Also, if you are a heavy smoker, your teeth whitening results will last you a shorter period of time.
