How can I Reorder Some Supplies for the Aquabrite Whiting System?

I am using the Aquabrite system and wasted some of the solution when I first used it so I need to reorder. thanks JDB

This company only sells the product to licensed dentists.  I would suggest you call your dentist and purchase more from them.  Good luck!

Recent Crowns on 5 Front Teeth Are Now Breaking off, Do Dentists Have to Guarantee Their Work?

I recently had 5 crowns put on my top front teeth. Three of the teeth were chipping quite often so the dentist said I should get crowns on all 5 so they would match. One tooth broke off after one month; another broke off after 3 months, another broke off yesterday. I've had to have root canals and new crowns on the first two. Now I'm wondering whether to get another crown on the 3rd one. I'm worried it will just break off again. Do dentists have to guarantee their work?

Actually, the State Dental Board will not permit a dentist to "guarantee" their work, at least in Texas.  Most dentists have some type of warranty all the same. 

But the real issue is why were your teeth chipping even before the crowns, as well as after?  You should not spend any more money on those front teeth until you know why you continue to have problems there.  Probably  back teeth are either missing or worn down too short, putting too much pressure on the front teeth.

You should seek out a dentist with post-graduate training not only in cosmetic dentistry, but neuromuscular dentistry, to find out why your bite makes your teeth keep breaking.

How Can I Maintain the Result After Laser Whitening?

how can i maintain the result after laser whitening? cause i have fillings and i love tea !!

If your dentist didn't already do so at the time of in-office whitening, you may want to have a set of custom whitening trays made so you can maintain your new pearly whites at home.  A lot of our patients like to pick up extra whitening gel when they come in for their cleanings, as this is the best time to freshen up your smile - after all your stains have been professionally removed!  As far as tea-drinking goes, you may want to try a whitening toothpaste if you are noticing staining from the tea.  Cheers!
