I’m a teeth grinder and routinely wear a night guard. So I can’t use the tray-based teeth whitening. Crest strips also fall off. Am I stuck and have to go to the dentist for laser whitening?
Actually, you can do teeth whitening with trays! Ask about custom trays from your dentist.
You dont need to wear whitening trays at night because most bleaching gels (provided by dentists) are ineffective after max 45 minutes. You can use the trays anytime during the day. At night, you can wear your nightguard. Your problem is solved.
There are also other options. Modern techniques allow for in-office bleaching in 30 minutes.
Good luck.
I am extremely nervous now about the Zoom procedure. I never even considered pain involved until I read all these reviews. If there is a toothpaste that will help with the sensitivity prior to getting in the dentist chair, then I would like to purchase it. Thank you for your help!
Yes. There is a product called MI Paste Plus, which you can buy at most dental offices. MI Paste Plus consists of Calcium Phosphate and Fluoride. Using this paste prior and after treatment helps control sensitivity and provides better results for the whitening.
Start using it at least a week before doing Zoom Whitening.
Good luck.
near me is a place called a "dental spa". i am wondering can they do teeth whitening just as effective as the dentist i go to
Before beginning any new whitening treatment, we recommend that all of our clients visit their dentist for a check-up and to determine if the whitening treatment is appropriate. If you have the teeth whitening treatment done at your dental office, then everything can be done in one trip. However, having your whitening treatment done in a salon or spa can be a more relaxing and pleasant experience. You can combine treatments, such as having your nails done or getting a massage at the same time. There is also less fear associated with salons or spas for some people.
Additionally, most dental offices use a higher strength whitening gel. This requires the additional application of the gingival barrier which some clients can find uncomfortable. There is also more of a risk of sensitivity associated with the higher strength whitening gels used in dental offices. However the results are comparable, regardless if the treatment is done in a dental office or the salon.
