✨ TOOTH WHITENING FAQs 🦷✨
Thinking about brightening your smile but not sure what to expect? Here are some of the questions we’re asked most often about tooth whitening at Esk Dental Care.
🤍 Is tooth whitening safe?
When carried out by a qualified dental professional, tooth whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve a lighter, brighter smile.
🤍 Does whitening toothpaste whiten my teeth?
Whitening toothpaste mainly removes superficial staining from the surface of your teeth. It doesn’t change the natural colour of your teeth.
🤍 Will tooth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. This is usually mild and short-lived.
🤍 How long will my results last?
This varies from person to person. Good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods and drinks such as tea and coffee can help maintain your results.
🤍 Will whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
Tooth whitening works on natural teeth. Existing crowns, veneers and fillings will not whiten, which is why an assessment beforehand is important.
🤍 Who can legally carry out tooth whitening?
Tooth whitening can only legally be carried out by qualified dental professionals. Your dentist can assess your oral health and suitability before recommending the most appropriate option for you.
