My enamel is worn will teeth whitening damage my enamel more?

Sunday, March 9th, 2008
Q.
I am considering teeth whitening, however the enamel on my incisor teeth is worn somewhat-particularly at the edges. Will teeth whitening cause further damage to the enamel in that area and make it more noticeable? Also in the future, will it speed up erosion of enamel in the worn areas?

Can i have teeth whitening on my dental bridge

Sunday, March 9th, 2008
Q.
Hey, I lost my front tooth about a year back and my dentist put in a bridge. I now want my teeth whitened, but if i do so my fake tooth will still be dull. Any ideas on how to get round this?? Thanks, R

Dear R,

The only way following whitening your teeth would be to have your old bridge replaced to to match`the new whiter colour. Veneering the existing bridge with whiter porcelain veneers is a possibility but generally the end result would not be as good as replacing the bridge.

Now I am 50 I dont have white teeth they have discoloured

Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Q.
I was always proud of my ‘white’ teeth as a younger man. I am now 50 years old and my teeth have discoloured. I don\’t smoke or drink, and take very few curries. Therefore I fear it’s my age that has contributed to the colour of my teeth. For the first time in my life, I am very concerned about my teeth. How can my problem be rectified?

I have a small black gap between my teeth do i need teeth whitening I also have wonky teeth

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi, i was considering getting my teeth whitened, they’re not too bad but I would like to have just normal teeth, but also I have a small black gap in between two of my teeth but i I dont know what I would need to do to sort it out, and also I have one tooth which is wonky and sticks out a bit. so im not sure what exactly it is that I need to get done so I can have “normal” teeth. Would it be possible for me to send in a photo, so you can see exactly whats wrong with my teeth and perhaps make a suggestion on what I should do, for example, whitening, veneers etc. Thanks R

Will teeth whitening work on my darkened root canal treated teeth ? ..internal tooth whitening inside out teeth whitening…

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
Q.
I have always had a lot of problems with my teeth and in the last couple of years, I have had root canal treatment on my front teeth. The treatment has considerably darkened my teeth to the extent where I am now very conscious about smiling or showing my teeth. I am seriously thinking of having my teeth whitened but I am worried because I have heard it can sometimes do more damage and my teeth are not in very good condition as i have quite a few fillings etc. Do teeth have to be in good condition to undergo the whitening process? I am also not sure if the whitening would work because it has been caused by root canal? If you could offer any advice, I would be very grateful. L.
