Tooth Whitening
The best way to keep your teeth white is to brush twice a day, floss daily, see your dentist for regular check-ups and professional cleanings, and limit stain-causing foods and habits. These include: tobacco, certain foods and beverages (such as coffee, tea and berries), some drugs (such as tetracycline, minocin), or trauma to a tooth. As well, your teeth may become stained or discoloured naturally as you age. We, as dentists,can give you up to date advice about whitening your teeth.
HERE HOW IT'S DONE: Mouthguard Bleaching-- is done by you at home. You wear a custom-made mouthguard with special bleaching gel (provided by us) for a period of time each day, or overnight, over a number of weeks.
It's important to know that not everyone's teeth will "whiten" the same. It depends on the number of teeth involved and the severity of discolouration. Bleaching agents can cause pulpal (nerve) irritation which can lead to sensitive teeth. This is why any bleaching treatment should be done under a dentist's supervision.
