Tooth Whitening Suitability

Tooth Whitening products, bleaches and gels are not suitable for all people. While most people (around 90%) get exceptional results some people should not use any kind of bleaching systems.

Some Stains Cannot Be Removed

Internal grey or dark brown stains cannot be removed by using standard tooth whitening products supplied by the dentist. The only way to remove these stains is to get crowns or veneers to cover them.

Sensitive Teeth

Our bleaching systems are very powerful. Some people with over sensitive teeth will find that the gels can cause irritation and increased sensitivity (cold) within the period of using the gels. If you do have very sensitive teeth already you may find using the gels isnt for you.

If you are in any doubts please visit a dentist so that he can give you a sensitivity test. Once you cease using the product, while your results will hold your sensitivity will go away within 1-3 days. The temporary sensitivity can be minimal for some yet others will notice it similar to ice-cream sensitivity.

Using floride for a while before you begin the treatments could help. We also recommend that you use the lowest % tooth whitening bleaches for the first attempt, gels with 10% concentration will probably not cause any irritation, those of 22% it could be negligiable. Stronger whitening bleaches we supply should be used by more experience people once your familiar with the treatment. The lower concetration tooth whitening bleaches will get the SAME results, only you will need more treatments and gels to acheive the same results.

Other People that should not use Tooth Whitening Products

The use of the home bleaching technique should also be avoided in children (under 18), pregnant and lactating women, and patients suffering from pathological conditions affecting the oral tissues.

Also if you have gum disease, receeding gums or cavities and holes in your teeth these should be avoided until the problems are addressed.
