The Newmarket Road Dental Clinic - Best Dental Clinic in Norwich has Teeth whitening treatments use specific concentrations of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, to help remove stains and brighten natural teeth. Am I a candidate for teeth whitening? For most people teeth whitening produces instant and dramatic results, but this procedure cannot lighten teeth with dental restorations. It only works on natural teeth and surface stains. If you experience severe teeth sensitivity, your dentist may advise against the treatment. Teeth whitening treatments are not recommended for pregnant or nursing women because of the unknown impact of the whitening chemicals on the foetus or breast-feeding baby. How much whiter will my teeth look after treatment? The amount of brightness your teeth gets after treatment depends on the original shade of your teeth. Modern teeth whitening products can lighten your teeth by up to 16 shades and are 98% effective. How long does the treatment last? Based on recent studies, the whitening effects can last up to 3 years or more, depending on your diet or lifestyle. Some patients need intermittent top-ups to ‘touch up’ the brightness of their teeth. Avoiding food and drink that easily stain teeth can increase the longevity of the treatment results. What does root canal treatment involve? After the area is numbed, your dentist will make a small opening in the tooth to clean out the infected pulp using a small file. Next, your dentist will disinfect the tooth, and then finally seal the cavity. The tooth’s appearance and function are restored with a filling or a dental crown. How do I know if I might need a root canal treatment? Some of the common signs of dental pulp infection are: Aching in the tooth Discomfort in the jaw, cheek, or ear area Swelling around the cheek or jaw area Trouble chewing food properly Increased tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods How will I feel after the procedure? After your root canal treatment, you may feel some slight soreness around the affected region, but this should dissipate within a couple of days. You can manage any discomfort using over-the-counter painkillers.
