Q: Is teeth whitening harmful and can anyone whiten their
teeth?
A : Scientific research has shown that whitening of normal and
healthy teeth shows no adverse affects.
Pregnant and nursing women should not have their teeth
whitened
using any method. RevoDent Inc also recommends that minors
under the age of 16 should not whiten their teeth. We also
recommend that anyone considering teeth whitening should have
a thorough checkup with their dentist prior to using any teeth
whitening product.
Q : Is teeth whitening permanent?
A : Exposure to food, drinks, smoking and other consumables
will gradually darken teeth over time. Proper oral hygiene and
use of a teeth whitening maintenance product will greatly help
to extend the results of a whitening session.
Q : What causes tooth discoloration?
A : There are many causes. The most common include consumption
of foods, coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Discoloration can
also be caused by certain medications and these stains are
usually not responsive to teeth whitening.
Q : Are there any side effects to teeth whitening?
A : Some people may experience a slight tingling sensation or
blanching of their gums. This will subside within a few hours
after the whitening session.
