If you want to whiten your teeth, you might be trying to use whitening toothpastes at home.

And it can be a great starting point, but if we’re being perfectly honest, you’ll probably need to see your dentist for a treatment that will actually make a significant difference.

There are 2 types of whitening toothpastes you can buy:

- Chemical toothpastes
- Abrasive toothpastes

The chemical toothpastes you can buy contain around 0.1% peroxide, whereas your dentist can prescribe up to 16% peroxide.
So really, your off the shelf toothpastes are not going to make a huge difference.

The other option is an abbrasive toothpaste which will feel a little bit gritty.
These work to remove surface stains, but please use them sparingly. They’re not designed for daily use, and can ironically make your teeth appear more yellow as they could remove the protective outer layer of your teeth if you use them too much.

If you’re looking for an effective teeth whitening treatment, please get in touch on 0131 228 4030.
One of our dentists can talk you through your options and arrange a treatment plan to get genuine results within the space of a couple of weeks.

As dentists, here are a few things we wish you knew about your teeth:

1. Bleeding gums aren't normal. If your gums are bleeding when brushing, it's time to see your dentist.
2. You don't need to brush harder to clean better, in fact you might be causing damage to your teeth and gums.
3. Mouthwash doesn't replace brushing. Mouthwash can be a great tool, but brushing twice a day is still essential.
4. Dental check-ups aren't just about finding cavities. A regular dental check-up is about maintaining good oral health and catching any potential concerns early.
5. Your dentist can often spot problems before you notice symptoms. Your teeth and mouth tell a lot about your body and overall health. We can often spot issues before you've noticed anything, but we're also harnessing AI tools to help us identify potential concerns as early as possible.

Which one surprised you most?

We know it sounds simple, but it’s surprisingly easy to get it wrong when you’re brushing your teeth.

Here’s a simple overview for a good brushing routine:

- Split your mouth into quadrants, and spend at least 30 seconds on each quadrant
- Let the electric brush do the work, but keep changing the angle to allow the bristles to reach all surface areas of your teeth
- Make sure you go over the outside, top and insides of your teeth

Once you’ve completed any course of orthodontic treatment, you should be provided with a set of retainers.

You wear these at night to keep your teeth in the correct place, and stop them from reverting back to their original position.

One opportunity that this allows for, is whitening your teeth.

You can apply a peroxide gel to the inside of the retainer, allowing you to slowly whiten your teeth over the course of 1-2 weeks.

If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment, we would be more than happy to chat about your goals and options.

We run both a private and NHS orthodontic clinic, with no current waiting list for NHS treatment.
Get in touch on 0131 228 4030 to book your consultation today.

We know you would rather be anywhere but in the dentist chair, we don't take it personally...

But we're keen to know. What's worse as a patient?

A. The sound of the drill
B. The injection going in
C. Finding out youve got a cavity

Or maybe we've completely missed something!

Being nervous about dental appointments is completely normal.

Here are a few things we want you to know:

- You don’t need to be embarassed about how long its been since your last appointment
- You don’t need to have perfect teeth before you come in
- You can tell us if you’re anxious, we’ll never judge you
- You can ask as many questions are you need to
- You can ask us to explain what’s happening

You don’t need to be ‘good’ at going to the dentist. You just have to take the first step.

Share this with someone who needs to hear these things.

Composite bonding is something that’s often required after orthodontic treatment.

Especially in adult patients, if your teeth have been particularly crowded prior to treatment, you’re likely to have some chips in your teeth that composite bonding will help to solve.

When we’re planning your treatment, it will usually become apparent whether composite bonding will be necessary, so we’ll sit down and go through the entire treatment plan together so you know exactly what to expect throughout your journey with us.

Our goal is always to give you the dream smile that you’re looking for, so those planning stages are essentail for bringing your vision to life before we commence treatment.

If you’ve been thinking about orthodontic treatment, we would be thrilled to work with you on achieving your smile goals.
