Is Teeth whitening a safe option for me?
Teeth whitening can vary with every individual as the results are not the same for everyone. It won’t whiten the colour of any existing restorations like Crown, Veneers or fillings. It is important to have a dental examination prior to Teeth whitening as any pre-existing gum disease, tooth decay or gum recession may need treatment or may have adverse effects. Our recommendation is to avoid teeth whitening if pregnant, breastfeeding or if you are currently taking skin medication for photosensitivity.
Avoid consuming food or drink like Red wine, Coffee, Tea, Coloured energy or soft drinks immediately after and upto 24 to 48 hours after teeth whitening to achieve optimal results. You also have the option of On Chair Teeth Whitening for an instant result or Take Home Teeth Whitening that takes two to three weeks to see optimal results.
Ensure your teeth and gums are healthy prior to Teeth Whitening for it to be Safe and effective. If you have any concern regarding the procedure speak to your friendly staff or Dentists at The Dental Retreat.
