Answer:

Dear Peter,

You can easily whiten your teeth. You should know that right after a bleach, so the teeth are more susceptible to dyes in food and beverages, but only for a limited time. It is not harmful for the teeth to get them bleached a few times.

Can you appeal against a tooth whitening?

Question:

I've been to the dentist and have made a "whitening". When the dentist had done it all ready and had put lights on, he said that I just had to tell if it started to hurt. After approx. 5 min with a light on it starts to do really hurt my teeth and it freezes. As the dentist was just decamped to other patients and had closed the door, I could lie and shout as much as I wanted without help. (As much as it is now possible with such a thing in your mouth). When it finally did get one they find out that the plastic stuff they had put in my mouth was firmly in place so that the gel had come out of my lips which made quite painful. They had to remove everything and stop bleaching. Now my teeth clearly tarnished and I still have pain (aching) and I am truly sorry. I do not think that I have received a fair deal - also looks awful my teeth out.

What should I do - can I complain?

Complaints about teeth whitening

Question:

Hello

I have a couple of days ago got my top 6 front teeth bleached at my dentist. My one tooth is slightly darker than the others when it to use my dentist's words are "silted up" after a blow from which the milk tooth knocked out when I was around. 3 years old. During the bleaching was the first for himself, with a product that was smeared on the 1 - 1 ½ mm thickness and then it would stir in with a kind of spatula (did the dentist) for 10 min, then got all 6 incisor teeth the game for 10 min. Just after treatment, I could see a little difference, but already after 4 -5 hours, I think that I was back to square one and could / can see no difference. My dentist has not yet received payment, when she would switch plastic fillings. But it is not necessary to replace the plastic fillings when I can not see the color difference anymore. My question is about this may be true that I have to pay a few thousand kr for any difference or if I can complain or similar?

Vh Mette

Answer:

Dear Josephine,

I think you should talk to your dentist about what you think. It's hard for me to comment on such a specific question when I do not know how the starting point was and how it looks today. I do not think that you will get something out of that complaint, when your dentist just did not make a wrong treatment.

Even if you are complaining about the treatment, you should be aware that you can not avoid having to pay the bill. So immediately I would suggest you find a solution together with your dentist.

Dear Jane,

This suggests that it is the temporomandibular joint on the right side that bothers you. Talk to your dentist about it. He can also exclude it from the teeth or muscles.

Yellow teeth with age

Question:

I am a man of 43 years and are the last few years started to have yellow teeth. I do not smoke and drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day.

My wife has advised me to purchase a Tooth whitening kits to 499 pounds. But I do not feel comfortable with the process myself.

What do you recommend I do to get whiter teeth?

Answer:

Dear Peter,

It is quite natural that the teeth become yellower with age. It may be partly due to coffee, but it can easily be removed by the annual teeth cleaning by a dentist or hygienist. I think it would be a good idea to have your teeth evaluated by a dentist before they are bleached. Also think that it's much better to have them bleached professionally, than you start experimenting yourself.

Hope you can use my answer.

Dentist Joan Olsen

Damage to teeth whitening enamel and what does a tooth whitening?

Question:

Is it possible to get the teeth a few shades whiter, without damaging the enamel?
And it is a treatment offered by dentists, and at what cost such a treatment?

Sincerely, Marie

Answer:

Dear Marie

One can whiten your teeth a few times without damaging the enamel. However, it is best to get your teeth bleached at a dentist for the best possible way to avoid damage by bleaching.

There are a few things one must take into account before one can give a specific price on a bleaching, and it also varies from dentist to dentist. But you must reckon with approx. 2500-3000 DKK for the bleaching. If you have old plastic fillings in front teeth, these possible. rotated within, since they are not bleached with teeth. Then the treatment is expensive.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
