I would like to have my teeth whitened

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I would like to have my teeth whitened. I have tried home kits from local chemists, however, I don’t find them particulalrlky easy to use, and they don’t have the desired effect. I am now considering visiting a dentistry for a one off treatment. I have been quoted £239 foa an hour session, which should give me between 5-10 shades lighter. The proceedure is described as the following…”cold light system activates the whitening solution that is applied to your teeth, making the whitening process fast and easy. After several minutes, the light shuts off, the whitening solution is taken off, fresh solution is applied, and the whitening light is turned on again. This may be repeated a few more times”. I am seeking independant advise regarding the treatment and whether it may compromise the long term health and colour of my teeth in anyway. I have been advised that the treatment should last for 2/3 years? I really dont want to pay more than the advertised price, would you recommend another treatment type? Thanks

Q.
Hi there, I have booked myself an appointment to get my teeth whitened, I’m going to good dentist I have checked them out. They use the zoom whitening treatment. My only worry is that I am 28 and believe whitening only lasts a few years.

Zoom whitening and Second opinion on prescribed drugs

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I have been discussing having Zoom whitening with my dentist. I have a tooth needs crowning and several fillings to be redone after the whitening process. My teeth are very sensitive particularly a front tooth – the one to be capped. It snapped off and was ‘glued’ back temporarily. I apply sensodyne regularly. I have been recommended to take the full dose of Nurofen for the 7 days prior to the treatment. However on a daily basis I am taking Ramipril, Lipitor and Aspirin. I have read the leaflet in the Nurofen packet and it is my opinion that I shouldn’t take them with my medication. Not wanting to bother my doctor, I;m sure it would quite irritate him actually, I wonder if you could advise please. Thankyou in anticipation.

The pain during and especially after the treatment of teeth whitening was horrific

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I had my teeth whitened by the bleaching method yesterday. The procedure was carried out by a dental hygenist. The pain during and especially after treatment is horrific. No pain killers have helped reduce the pain. Even when told to rub sensodyne toothpaste on the teeth did not make any impact on the pain. My gume turned white and there was a lot of spillage of the bleach into my mouth. In your opinion is this the reaction I am going through normal. Its over 24 hours now and the pain has not reduced.

Sensitivity is a feature of wh… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How bad and painful is the process of getting veneers? Also I want to get my teeth whiten

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I’m chipped my two front upper teeth, when i was about 10. I had them capped, for the past 8yrs. My current dentist says there fillings. I don’t really know what they are. I hate my teeth and have had braces, and there is partly visible line of where my teeth were capped, and my dentist wants to shave them down and re-do them, i think with veneers. I really hate the dentist, absolutely petrified. I have had many different dentists through out the years and don’t like my current dentist. My questions are; How bad and painful is the process of getting veneers? Also I want to get my teeth whiten, I’m thinking of using a home whitening kit, but will it whiten my caps or not. I don’t want my teeth not to match, specially as there my front teeth. I’m also thinking of trying baking soda, I heard this works to whiten, but you should only use twice a month. Thank You
