Q. I have a problem with receeding gums and my dentist (private) states that now he can only give palative care. He does say that my condition is genetic. However I also have bad discolouration and would like to have teeth whitening done. My question is would it be possible to have teeth whitening in view of my receeding gums?

A. Teeth whitening is certainly possible but you must be aware that you may suffer from severe sensitivity to cold during treatment.  if the prognosis of your teeth is limited you have to aware that you are investing in something with a limited lifespan
I hope this helps
