Actually teeth whitening procedure uses products that are sensitive to your teeth. A dentist checks the teeth strength & prescribe the suitable whitening treatment for you.
Avatar f tn I managed to get rid of a lot of the more severe stains, but before I could finish the bleaching process, I needed some crown work and the teeth were too sensitive to continue bleaching until they were capped with permanent crowns. Well, the trays are a bit loose now and the bleach washed out near the gumline. I can't afford to have new trays made so, after experimenting a bit, I've discovered I can seal trays at the gumline by plastering chewed gum over them.
Avatar n tn Not sure why the bleaching would damage your teeth. Studies show that while bleaching does "damage" the enamel, its considered to be insignificant. You can try something more mild like over the counter bleaching products or a whitening toothpaste.
Avatar f tn I just found out recently that my two front upper teeth are dead. My dentist thinks it was caused by trauma but one of the teeth began to discolor about 10 years ago and I don't remember any trauma. I had a root canal on the more discolored tooth because it was infected about a year ago. I have had to have the root canal redone on that tooth because it is infected again.
Avatar m tn Tsang, Can you give me the approximate costs of these procedures? How much would bleaching cost on one tooth (or on all teeth?). Also, how is intrinsic yellowing caused? And if it is enamel then will the filling have to be refilled often? Thanks.
2028721 tn?1356682003 That is not the case though, as how white your teeth may become depends on how white your teeth adult teeth were when they just came out. Bleaching does not make enamel whiter, instead it gets rid of all the stain on the teeth you may have acquired from drinking tea, coffee, soda, smoking and eating foods with color additives. Over-bleaching may even cause your teeth to become see through (pretty freaky sight if you ask me). Thankfully this sort of side effect passes after 24 hours.
Avatar f tn What could be the reason for half yellow and half white teeth??
Avatar m tn Pulp canal obliteration (PCO) occurs commonly following traumatic injuries to teeth. Approximately 4-24% of traumatized teeth develop varying degrees of pulpal obliteration that is characterized by the apparent loss of the pulp space radiographically and a yellow discoloration of the clinical crown.
Avatar n tn What's the best way to get pearly white teeth, not using any cosmetical products or actual dental surgery? Basically stuff you can do at home without having to buy specific products.
Avatar f tn 1. Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding and clenching. 2. Removing the nerve from you tooth is just another way of saying root canal therapy. 3. I would stop using the crest pro health mouthwash, because what ever is in the mouthwash could be aggravating your sensitive teeth. You never know. If you had the habit of using over-the-counter teeth bleaching products and if your teeth are "yellow.
Avatar n tn I have a friend who just finished a university biology course and in it he was told that all types of teeth bleaching, such as whitening strips, the overnight paint on whiteners and whitening toothpastes all strip our tooth enamel forever and can lead to cavities and other problems like flesh eating of the mouth in extreme cases.
Avatar n tn I know if I want to bleach my teeth I would have to bleach before the crown is redone. My concern is whether or not it will be difficult to maintain the same shade of whiter teeth to be the same as my new crown in the future?
Avatar n tn You could possibly look at doing veneers although they are more expensive as a treatment than bleaching.
Avatar f tn I could try the white toothpaste.. if ur nervous.
Avatar n tn How do I make my teeth brighter without using chemicals, is there any healthy recipy I can use?
Avatar f tn I take excellent care of my teeth. I floss daily, brush 2 -3x daily, change my toothbrush often, avoid dark colas and coffee and staining foods like blueberries, and I use Biotene mouthwash (the label says it "brings out the natural whiteness of teeth.") but still my teeth looking super dull lately and not nearly as white as they used to be. I am 35 now, but is there anything other than age that could be contributing to the "aging" look to my teeth?
Avatar n tn I have had my teeth gum swollen with puss. Some one suggested me to put some salt on it. I did put salt on the gum and the next morning the puss is gone but my tooth became grey/dark. It has happened nearly 3 yrs ago. Is there any chance of curing it now??
Avatar f tn Recently I noticed on one tooth when I press a certain area near the gum it causes pain. Is this a normal side effect of teeth bleaching or should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn I'm the same, fresh smells like soap and other detergents I can't get enough of. I'm forever bleaching everything. I also can't get enough of minty tastes I'm always brushing my teeth or chewing gum.
Avatar n tn My sister has implants she uses a whitener all the time. It is kind of hard to whiten your teeth and not have one touched. For example there are tooth paste with whiteners you brush your teeth with it and that tooth is being whitened with the paste. The only thing that you can't do to that tooth is get it bleached only the dentist can do bleaching and he knows what to do with the tooth.
6643302 tn?1383320128 Try an in office dental bleaching. Otherwise the only way to get extremely white teeth is to do veneers, which are made out of porcelain.
Avatar n tn You may want to consider bleaching and doing a touch up bleaching every so often (like once a month or so) to maintain the whiteness. Also, you may want to look at buying an interproximal brush or rubber tip to try to clean between your teeth. You can also look into some whitening toothpaste.
Avatar n tn ve had mixed results with the white strips.. I think if you use them as directed that MAYBE your teeth will get a shade or a couple shades lighter... If you want better results see your dentist about getting custom fit mouth trays and do the at home bleaching..
