Teeth Bleaching in the Dentist’s Office No comments yet

Your dentist may suggest that you could bleach your teeth. This process changes the actual color of your tooth enamel, rather than just acting on the surface of your teeth. This is only for those who have yellowing or discoloration on their teeth from natural causes, and will not work for those who have had fillings or bonds done on their front teeth.

This procedure may not work as well if your tooth discoloration is brownish or greyish. This works best on teeth which have gone yellowish.  For those who have had work done on their front teeth, and that work has discolored, you may want to ask about applying a porcelain veneer, or some other way of whitening that part of your teeth, or after the bleaching, you will have very white teeth, and large brownish or yellowish blocks wherever the filling or other work was. Your dentist can prescribe you a home based bleaching program that you can do in the comfort of your home quite easily. Some of these products are also available as over the counter products, although you should always ask your dentist’s advice first.
