Teeth Whitening FAQs

Having white teeth is a dream for many people who struggle to get them; sometimes, brushing, flossing, and mouthwashes do not make the teeth white, or at least as white as we'd like. So what can you do? Teeth whitening solutions either from your dentist or from a kit.

Here are some FAQs of teeth whitening. 

• Does teeth whitening harm enamel? Teeth whitening does not cause any permanent damage to enamel. 
• Does it cause permanent sensitivity? Having sensitive teeth from whitening is indeed a side-effect but if it does happen, it will go away within a few days of the whitening, often a day or two. You will return to your state of sensitivity you had before getting the whitening. 
• Am I able to whiten my teeth? For the most part, anyone can whiten their teeth; however, you will want to have your dentist give you the green light because everyone is different. You might not be a candidate or may require less whitening treatments than others. 
• How long do the effects last? If you get your teeth whitened by your dentist, then the effects will often last between six months and a couple years. If you do it yourself with an at-home kit, the results last much shorter. 
• How much does it cost? This depends on where you go. If you do an at-home kit, then you will likely spend around $20 but if you do professional, it can cost as much at $1000, sometimes as low as $300-$600. 
• Does it affect dental work like crowns, fillings, or vaneers? Getting your teeth whitened will not affect things like porcelain vaneers or any crown work; it can temporarily reduce the strength of the bond between enamel and composite restorations like fillings.
