How soon after having my toot extraction can i have my teeth whitened?

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Q.
I am having a top molar extracted tomorrow as I have an abcess in the roots. Because I have already had root canal treatment on this tooth my dentist is unable to save it. This means I will have lost a total of 4 molars on the top and will now need to look at having false teeth of some kind. Because of this I am looking at getting my teeth whitened before I get a soft flexi plate made. How soon after having my tooth extraction can I have my teeth whitened? Also the dental clinic I am looking at getting the whitening done, (I came across it on the internet and the prices are really cheap) doesn’t have any agencies/governing bodies named on their website ie; GDC or BACD. Does this mean they are dodgy and I should avoid them. They claim to whiten teeth with the new “Ultra-whitening” treatment in 15minutes and the treatment does not use any bleach. They just put a gel on your gums and use a laser. Does this sound right? As all the other websites I have looked at seem to use a bleach based treatment.

Can u explain why the tooth whitening process left me with extreme sensitivity and loose teeth

Saturday, July 4th, 2009
Q.
A year ago I underwent a teeth whitening process at my NHS dentist but almost immediately after the procedure I began to experience very severe pain – similar to toothache – in every tooth. This discomfort lasted for 48 hours before subsiding although I was left with extremely sensitive teeth. A few weeks later I noticed that several of my teeth – in fact five in all – were loose and I then began to experience problems with pain in these loose teeth and the surrounding gums. As a result I have had to have one of these teeth extracted and I suspect that the others will have to go too. Can you explain why the tooth whitening process should have had this devastating affect on my teeth and whethere there is anything that can be done to reverse the loosening of the teeth, cure the over-sensitivity and restore my gums back to health?

Monday, June 29th, 2009
Q.
I really want to get my teeth whitened, my dentist does it for £270, which after looking around is quite a reasonable price but i am on Income Support and it would take me a long time to save up. Does the price drop at all for people on benefits? I am thinking it doesn’t as it’s cosmetic but am holding onto hope that i can get it done sooner rather than later haha, thank u

I had dental implant and my dentist is asking me to whiten my teeth before having crown advice?

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Q.
I have had 2 dental implants on my front top jaw and two porcelain crowns have been made but not fitted yet. I am wearing temporary crowns.My dentist is asking me to whiten my teeth before the porcelain crowns are fitted.I guess the reason for this is the shade of the crowns she had chosen are not blending with the rest of my teeth.I have enamel hypoplasia and very sensitive teeth and I am not keen to have my teeth bleached.Should my dentist get her technician to make new porcelain crowns to blend in with my teeth.I am nervous about having my teeth whiten and any side effects that may occur.I have had a lot of antibiotics in the past and perhaps that has an implication on the colour of my teeth and also it may be genetic as I am Chinese.I also feel that the whitening may not as effective on me.What should I do ?I would be grateful if you can reply as soon as possible. Thank you.

I have a dark grey line along the base of my bottom molar teeth what could this be?

Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Q.
I have a couple of problems I’d like advice on. Firstly, I have just noticed a dark grey line along the base of one of my bottom molar teeth… the rest of the tooth looks healthy and the gum doesn’t hurt… what could this be? Secondly, I had some fillings along the top of my 2 front teeth, but the dentist smeared it all over the teeth, which have now stained darker than the rest of my teeth. Is it possible to have these removed? I am considering teeth whitening- specifically ‘enlighten’ as all my teeth are quite stained and I’m only 22 but I’m just wondering if this causes long term damage to the enamel, and how long lasting the effect actually is?

A.

I had a full lower dental implant is there any possibility of lighten the stain in the implants

Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I am a 59 year old woman that had a full lower dental implant put in 3 years ago…have had 3 back surgeries since then and my implant hygeine was not good…they are very stained from coffee and tea…is there any product out there that can help lighten these stains? I cannot afford a dentist at this time [hard luck story]…I have a removable top denture that is about 5 shades lighter than my lower implant…very ugly…hope there is something I can begin using, until such time I can afford to walk in the door of a dentist. There has never been any gum bleeding or swelling indicative of infection, so I am extremely grateful for that…any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m glad I found your web site…it’s great.
