My Teeth Are Very Sensitive And Discoloured, Is Whitening Toothpaste My Best Bet?
Q.
I am 62 years old and have lost the enamel off my teeth; I have been informed this is due to eating too much fruit.
I am very embarrassed to talk let alone smile, due to the dark colour of my teeth.
I am due to attend a very important wedding soon and I am so worried about my teeth that I am now considering having them whitened.
I do have sensitive teeth and use Sensodyne toothpaste but I believe the whitening process increases sensitivity and am a little concerned about that.
I would truly appreciate your comments please.

Hello, thank you so much for your query, whilst you are right that whitening will increase sensitivity temporarily however I would say that this is not the only option you have other available ways of getting whiter teeth. In light of your alternatives veneering with composite or porcelain it is likely still the best option , but will need time to work if the teeth are discoloured badly.

composite veneering costs approximately £100-150 per tooth.
