Will teeth whitening remove the stains?

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have some staining on my teeth from my braces – the staining is little circles and looks like it’s from the glue which was used to fix the brace on. I wanted to get my teeth whitened but I am worried the rest of the tooth will be whiter and the stain will just look worse. Is this something which generally I should be worried about or os this sort of thing generally corrected wiothout problem? (I appreciate that you will no be able to give a specific answer without a consult)

Would you recommend teeth whitening syringes got from the Internet?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
About 2 years ago my dentist made me a set of trays to use for teeth whitening. I used the whitening gel he provided and was very pleased with the result. I would like to treat my teeth again but my dentist will charge me £25 for a 1.3mg syringe of Polanight 13% peroxide gel. I can buy four syringes of the same product on the internet for about £34. Would it be safe/sensible for me to buy it in this way? Is this a good product or could you recommend a better one?

My teeth whitening kit has completely receeded my gums Is this normal?

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Q.
I recently used a home teeth whitening kit that apparently is dental grade. I trimmed back the teeth trays to the gum line as recommended but after using it only 3 times (for a third of the recommended time), I was horrified to find my gums have receeded completely and noticable back, as though they have been burnt off. It does not hurt. Is this normal?! Will they grow back? Should I ever use the product again? Please help! I am very worried about this. Thank you very much.

A.
I don’t think these type of ho… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

If I went through any cosmetic dentistry would I be put to sleep?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
Hiya, I’m 19 yrs old and i have the worst teeth. They’re wonky and i have (what feels like) a huge gap. my teeth are yellow and if i’m honest, i don’t brush them as much as I should do. I have a massive phobia of dentists, i haven’t been in about 6 years. the last time i had a filling i had to be put to sleep. I work in a physicatric hospital and the paitnets all pick out my teeth which is quiet hurtful. i was wondering, would veneers be the answer? and if i went through with any cosmetic dentistry, would i be able to be put to sleep? thanks
