Teeth Bleaching After Apicoectomy?

Question

I had an apicoectomy a year ago but my gum still feels a bit numb. I have a well fitted tray for teeth bleaching, would that weakens my gums and teeth?

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

You will not do any harm by attempting to whiten your teeth. If you do not get the results that you are looking for by whitening, then you will need to consider placing an all ceramic crown on that tooth. This could be matched perfectly to the other teeth. Good luck.

Kevin Coughlin, DMD · Answer

No you may want to look into internal whitening along with external whitening good luck if the tray fit fine and you follow directions your gum tissue and teeth should be fine good luck
