is there a problem with teeth whitening at 20 to remove stains

Friday, July 18th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I am 20 years old and am considering getting my teeth whitened. Is there any problem with my age? I have been reading that it is generally older people that get it done to remove stains etc, but then you see celebrities getting it done that are my age! Is there any problem in getting it done or any concerns, as i would much rather go through my life with white teeth than getting it done later on!! Thanks

My NHS dental crowns are too white what can I do

Monday, July 14th, 2008
Q.
I go to a local dentist where I have been going for a long time and my dentist no longer treats adults, just children\’s braces. i therefore changed to a dentist at that practice, but did not know him. I have had 3 new crowns at the front and a veneer (privately) plus teeth whitening. I was told that the two teeth (old NHS crowns) either side of the front two had metal posts and they may show through the porcelain, but it shouldn’t be a problem. This treatment was carried out about march time at a cost of £1200 plus teeth whitening. The crown were a bit too white for my own colour and I was asked to repeat the teeth whitening for another week. They still do not match, the two crowns on the metal posts are a grey colour and I do not feel entirely happy with them. Where do I stand regarding this or having a second opinion. The dentist who carried out the work is very nice, so I feel at a loss as to what to do next.

How much does teeth whitening cost I am a smoker

Monday, July 14th, 2008
Q.
Hi just a few questions about some procedures im thinking of having done. firstly i was wondering how much teeth whitening is? also i was going to have my teeth whitened before but as i am a smoker and i was told not to smoke for seven days after i was put off the idea and i was wondering if the same applys with your procedure? secondly, i have a porceline coating on my two front teeth to cover up some blemishes, if i get my teeth whitened that would need replacing i think as usually these coatings can not be whitened. andi was wondering how much that would cost. and thirdly how white should i expect my teeth to go. i would be very greatful if you could get back to me on this matter

I have sensitive teeth and need a gentle dentist

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
I am not the best dental patient though have always attended (with great anxiety), and when i need treatment have always needed quite alot of local anaesthetic before I am pain free. I also have sensitive teeth when brushing which appears to be due to some small ridges at the top of my teeth (about 4 teeth) near my gums.(too sensitive for dental hygeine so lot of personal time to keep clean). I would love to have both straighter and whiter teeth though did not know if this would be possible with sensitive teeth and whether this could be remedied. (I would also need a very patient and gentle dentist!)

Roaccutane has damaged my teeth and teeth whitening did not work

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I’ve had some zoom whitening at £450.00 yet it didn’t do much good. Over a three year period, I had three 4 month courses of a drug called Roaccutane which, I\’ve read, can damage teeth. My teeth are quite a bad colour and are almost see through in some areas. Could this be the cause? I have been thinking about veneers for years and my teeth are in fairly decent shape but the colour has put a real dampener on my life. I am very reluctant to smile. Could you tell me if veneers would be the way to go for me and if so, how much is it likely to cost for a full mouth? Are they permanent and can you see a thin black line where they meet the gum? Also, are some veneers better quality than others? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks R Wilson
