Q. Hie Doc. Wich is the best tooth paste i can use to whiten my teeth,they are not in a bad state,but i feel they need some whitening.I bought BLANX just two days ago and i wonder if it can do an good.Please help.

A. Whitening toothpastes have limited whitening effects the best way is too professionally whiten your teeth through your dentist.  Some whitening toothpastes can be abrasive and cause damage to your teeth.

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Q. i got hit in the mouth and now my front tooth is turning a purplish color.is there anything that can be done to the tooth to get the original color back.

A. You need to see a dentist and have an x-ray taken of the tooth it is highly likely the tooth will need root canal treatment and then could be whitened or crowned.

A. You need to try to find a dentist NHS or private ASAP perhaps one that offers treatment under intra-venous sedation to help you to relax during treatment. Once this treatment is underway you should start to get your confidence back Best wishes Andrew

Will the tooth whitening kit gives guaranteed results?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Q. I am interested in having my teeth whitened. would you recommend that I should see my local dentist or use your whitening kit. Are results guaranteed? What if I am not completely satisfied do you have a money back guarantee?

A.

No dentist will give you a money back guarantee on tooth whitening as your teeth are the limiting factor, not the product. Everybody achieves different results, some people jump 10 shades, some only 2 It is impossible to tell you what result you will achieve pre treatment. /you just have to try it. Tooth whitening is the least invasive way to achieve a whiter smile.

What are the best possible treatments for yellow teeth?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Q. I have quite yellow teeth,always have since a child. I have recently had bone grafts in both upper and lower jaw due to peridontal disease.Which i am told has been stopped.Now i need 4 crowns.I would like whiter teeth before the new crowns are made.The dentist told me that as i smoke the results will only last a few months?.So i may have to opt for two veneers on the canine teeth,which are the darkest teeth. I live in Cyprus ,so a UK visit is not an option with dental costs involved. What do you think about whitening as opposed to the 2 veneers. Do you have any contact info of a clinic that uses the enlighten system in Cyprus. For over 30 years all i ever wanted was a nice smile, now im confused and wary!!!Please help.

A. I would rather you tried whitening you can always have veneers later. I use the enlighten system and think its the best you could try contacting the enlighten company directly to find a dentist.

Does tooth whitening overcome discolouration?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Q. hi, one of my front tooth has developed a yellowish grey color (after having a filling due to decay many years ago) and is very visible. will having my teeth whitened help?

A.

The discolouration has happened inside of the tooth and so whitening the outside of the tooth will not help. Ask your dentist about possibly whitening the inside of the tooth and if you have no luck with this, the next nest would be a porcelain veneer.

Advice on gap between the back of the crowns and gums

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Q. I had an absess in my upper gum and even after treatment my tooth began to darken, last year I told my dentist this was a problem as it was at the front of my mouth and showed when I smiled. He chose to fit a crown, this was done last year and although I am getting used to it it still does not feel right. I have just been to a check up and mentioned my concern to my dentist but after checking it he says it is fine. I feel like there is a gap between the back of the crown and my gum and fear food, fizzy drink etc are getting in behind it, is this normal to feel this?

A. a second opinion might put your mind at rest. some practices like the StJohns Dental Practice in Birmingham city centre, offer a free initial consultation. Call 01216430610 for details

I have sensitive teeth can i get my teeth whitening done?

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Q. i hv extremely sensetiv teeth i want to know if i can hv teeth whitened at dentist without using peroxide. and what is safe to use for whitening teeth on a low budget. thankyou

A. hi
any non peroxide systems will not bleach the teeth per se , but if you have a high amount of surface staining air abrasion is very effective but you will still experiance sensitivity during this procedure which takes around 20 minutes in chair and is cheaper than bleaching.

I have discolored teeth can i go for whitening?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Q. Hi, My teeth are discoloured due to drinking a soya based milk as a baby in 1986 which was found to contain phytoestrogens. Will whitening remove the discolouration?

A.

The best option would be to have a consultation with a dentist so they can assess this problem and advise more appropriately on the best option for you.

There are many different types of whitening available from home whitening kits to in surgery whitening or a combination of both to get the desired result.

I would suggest you see a dentist for there opinion on what type of whitening would best be suited for your concern.

Can u advice me on the best products/procedures available for whitening?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Q. Hi Rob, I am considering in-surgery whitening and wondered if you could advise on the best products/procedure available? (highest quality/results possible) How long it lasts? A good cost benchmark etc? My teeth are in good shape so i have ruled out veneers as i think whitening will give me the results i’m after. In particular i have heard of a “bio” laser treatment but have found very little info (I assume then that this is just the normal Zoom style treatment of gel + laser). I am based in Birmingham so would appreciate any recommendations for a surgery to go to! Many thanks in anticipation of your help! Regards 

A. Zoom! advance power is the best surgery product that I have come across. There is more competition in the home systems. StJohns Birmingham is located at 18 Bennett’s Hill on the corner with New St ( were the christmas market starts ) We offer a free initial assesment call Amy 01216430610 for details.

Can Baking soda be used to cover discolored teeth advice?

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Q. Hi, im only 15 and my two front teeth from the bottom have turned grey. There translucent becuase when i put them against my bottom set of teeth or put anything behind them they show the colour through. I dont smoke and have always brushed my teeth. Also, my teeth are abit coloured, theyre rather yellow and i feel really uncomfortable. I got told to use baking soda, but dont know if i should use it with my toothpaste. Should i or how should i use it and why are my teeth grey from the bottom?

A. I would not recommend using baking soda as this has no advantages. I would recommend just using normal toothpaste, but this will not do anything for the colour of your teeth.

I woudl recommemnd you visit a dentist to carry out an examination and diagnose the problem.

What do u recommend for a discolored teeth with a veneer on it?

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Q. I chipped both my front teeth in an accident when i was 11. Iam now 31, one of the teeth is badly discoloured it has a veneer on it but you can still see its dark, what would you recommend?

A. Probably root treatment of the dark tooth followed by internal bleaching.  Veneers may be required later but even if they are the colour matching will be easier
