Many foods, beverages and other products can cause your teeth to become discoloured. Some people simply have naturally slightly darker teeth. Tooth whitening is the ideal way to treat dark and discoloured teeth for a naturally white finish.
There are many methods for whitening your teeth and you should consider your choice carefully. The techniques can be very different so your own preferences matter. You should also consider how much time you have available and the sort of results you’d like to see. You can choose to whiten your teeth at home or have them whitened at our dental clinic.
Tooth whitening at PlusTerveys
It’s always a good idea to have your teeth and gums checked beforehand to make sure they’re in good condition. Any cavities will need to be filled and any infections treated before the whitening can take place. We will also remove any dental tartar before going ahead. We do not offer tooth whitening treatments to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The whitening techniques used at PlusTerveys will vary between locations. If you are looking for a particular service, get in touch with your local PlusTerveys dental clinic or visit our website to find out what’s available in your local area. Tooth whitening methods include:
Beyond tooth whitening
Sometimes a whitening procedure is not needed, and a simple soda cleanse is enough to give you the results you’re after.
After your tooth whitening treatment, you may find that your teeth are very sensitive to extremes of heat and cold, but this will pass within just a few days. We recommend that you do not eat anything for two hours after the treatment but it is OK to drink some plain water. It is also advisable to avoid tobacco, including snus, coloured toothpastes and highly pigmented and acidic foods, such as tea, coffee, red wine, sparkling beverages, curries, soy sauce and citrus fruits. For seven days after the treatment, please do not use any chemical mouthwashes and similar products that contain colour. For brushing, we recommend a fluoride toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. This will protect your tooth enamel and care for your teeth.
