Studies have shown that there is no harm in the use of teeth whitening systems under the control of a dentist. With your dentist's fluoride applications after bleaching, the whitening process is even safer. They are unsupervised whitening products sold in pharmacies that damage the teeth.
All whitening gels can cause more or less sensitivity. This can vary from person to person and may develop with cold or hot drinks. In case of sensitivity, topical fluoride applied by the dentist will reduce this tooth sensitivity. In addition, toothpastes containing potassium nitrate and high fluoride can be used to reduce sensitivity.
Results are different. Some teeth whiten in a shorter time, while others may need a whitening session or two. The more yellowing your teeth are without graying, the better the whitening will be. Graying from the use of antibiotics is more difficult to whiten and may require a longer process to achieve results.
After whitening, the color of the teeth never returns to the original color, but some discoloration occurs between 6 months and two years. This coloration varies according to nutritional habits. It should be checked 6 months after whitening, if necessary, calculus cleaning, polishing and once home bleaching are recommended.
