Are you a candidate for tooth whiteing?

Almost any person whose permanent teeth are left can be considered as a candidate for tooth whitening. Your dentist can assess their state of oral health and will recommend one or more whitening techniques depending on which best suit you and taking into account the type and severity of the spots. Among the techniques mentioned:

1. A professional cleaning to remove stains caused by external food and snuff.
2. The use of a bleaching toothpaste to help remove surface stains between dental consultations.
3. To obtain additional results, use a gel or bleach accessible tapes Whitestrips.
4. The professional bleaching or at home to remove stains harder or yellowish.
5. The use of veneers or fillings to rebuild the most affected teeth or to obtain specific results. Ask your dentist what bleaching technique is ideal for you.
6. The teeth are more yellows that are more responsive to bleaching teeth with a browning or greyish, including teeth stained by tetracycline or dental fluorosis can not bleached evenly during treatment.
7. People with periodontal disease or particularly sensitive should avoid tooth whitening techniques with chemicals which can irritate the gums.
