Teeth not white enough after whitening
Q. I have recently finished a two week course of tooth whitening using guards and gel from my dentist but my teeth are not much whiter. I was given a 15% gel. Is it possible to use the guards for another week and use a stronger bleach to make my teeth whiter? will this cause damage to my teeth?
A. Whitening treatments can be vary in the time in which successful treatment occurs. Depending on the original shade of the teeth you may have to carry out a more prolonged whitening before you start to see results.
Specific mouthguards are made for specific systems. So provided the stronger gel is within the confines of the system then it should be ok to use it without damaging your teeth.
