Why Should You Consider Getting Teeth Whitening?
The natural colour of teeth varies across patients and often become discoloured over time. There are several causes for teeth discoloration, and most of these are preventable. However, some reasons are natural and not under our control.
Preventable causes for tooth discoloration include:
- Heavy smoking, chewing of tobacco products, using cigars or pipes.
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Consumption of staining foods like tea, coffee, red wine and soya sauce
Natural causes for dental discoloration may include:
- Consumption of certain medications which may discolour the teeth
- High fluoride during childhood
- Natural ageing process
Dr. Parmar will assess your teeth and check your candidacy for teeth whitening near you.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Everyone?
Most patients are ideal candidates for teeth whitening treatment. Some exceptions could include those who have had multiple restorations like crowns or veneers in the oral cavity. Patients with heightened sensitivity, periodontal disease or oral cancer may not be eligible for teeth whitening.
Our trained dentists in Calgary, AB are the best people to assess your candidacy and help you determine your eligibility for teeth whitening treatment.
After Teeth Whitening in Calgary, AB
It’s normal to experience some sensitivity for a couple of days after teeth whitening. The treated tooth enamel is unable to insulate nerves from exposure. However, the sensitivity disappears between 12 to 72 hours after the procedure.
One of our dentists will perform a post-whitening fluoride treatment to rehydrate your teeth after teeth whitening treatment. To make the effects last longer, patients should avoid smoking, drinking and consuming staining foods and beverages.
