Safe Or Not: Is it Ok To Whiten Teeth
Teeth Whitening Side Effects: What You Need to Know
Tooth Sensitivity
One of the most frequently reported side effects is increased tooth sensitivity. This occurs when the whitening agents penetrate the enamel and irritate the nerves within the teeth. Sensitivity typically subsides within a few days after treatment. Using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth can help manage this discomfort.
Gum Irritation
Whitening agents can sometimes cause irritation to the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth. This is usually the result of the bleaching gel coming into contact with the gums. Make sure to apply the whitening product properly and avoid overfilling trays to minimise contact with the gums.
Enamel Damage
Using whitening products too often or incorrectly can damage the enamel on your teeth. This can increase the risk of cavities and cause sensitivity in your teeth. It is important to follow the instructions for whitening products carefully to avoid harming your enamel.
Chemical Burns and Irritation
If the whitening gel touches your lips, gums, or tongue, it can cause burns. These burns may result in painful ulcers that require time to heal. Our dental team takes steps to avoid gel touching soft tissues by using barriers and precise techniques.
Increased Tooth Sensitivity
One common side effect of teeth whitening is increased sensitivity to cold temperatures. This sensitivity can sometimes be intense, making everyday activities like breathing in cool air uncomfortable.
At Prime Dental Care, we assess your susceptibility to sensitivity before treatment. We use special gels to minimise discomfort and reduce the risk of sensitivity. Your dentist will give you tips and products to help with sensitivity before and after treatment.
Cost Of Teeth Whitening
Types of Teeth Whitening Services and Their Costs
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office teeth whitening is the quickest and most effective method. Using advanced bleaching agents and light technology, we can achieve dramatic results in just one visit.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
We offer custom take-home whitening kits that allow you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home. These kits include custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel.
Over-the-Counter Whitening Products
While not as effective as professional treatments, over-the-counter whitening products are a more affordable option. These include whitening strips, gels, and toothpaste.
Understanding the Limitations and Safety of Teeth Whitening
Compatibility with Dental Restorations
Teeth whitening works on natural teeth but not on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. If your dental restorations differ in shade from your natural teeth, they may stand out if you opt to whiten your teeth. In such cases, consider discussing potential adjustments or replacements with your dentist to ensure a uniform appearance.
Teeth Whitening During Pregnancy
The safety of teeth whitening during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been conclusively established. Because of the lack of definitive evidence, it is advisable to postpone cosmetic dental treatments until after breastfeeding. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new dental treatments during this time.
Custom Take-Home Kits
Our kits make it easy to whiten your teeth gradually at home. They come with trays that fit your teeth perfectly and strong whitening gel.
