If you suffer from discoloured teeth or you just want whiter teeth and a great smile then this is very important information you should know.

Teeth whitening is suitable for nearly everybody and you can whiten your teeth back to their natural shade, not better than. 

 As you age your teeth discolour, for example they may start a slightly yellow shade and gradually go a darker yellow shade as you consume a variety of foodstuffs (red wine, curries, fizzy drinks, caffeine), tobacco or even antibiotics taken as a child. They may start off white and go yellow because of the same reasons. They may start white and go slightly yellow and so on.

All of the stains that have occurred in your life can be removed or lightened over a period of teeth whitening. Everybody is different, therefore whitening will occur at different speeds, some require stronger treatments, some will see results in only a few days, however your teeth will get lighter, brighter and whiter.

This is the best plan to get whiter teeth, and keep them white.

Month 1 - Initial Teeth Whitening

1. Take a photo of your teeth
2. Start using a whitening toothpaste immediately. This will prevent ‘daily’ stains - it will not generally whiten your teeth but it will remove any surface stains that occur each day.
3. Start to use your selected professional home teeth whitening kit, whether thats a whitening tray version or whitening strip, which ever your preference is to suit your lifestyle.
4. Continue to brush your teeth at least twice per day and for at least 2 minutes with a whitening toothpaste
5. Floss once a day as this will help you stop the build up of tartar and plaque which can cause gum disease and decay as we age (and we are living longer)
6. Use a mouth rinse containing fluoride once or twice per week.
7. Take a photo of your teeth
8. Visit your dentist every 3 - 6 months

Month 2 +
Repeat steps 3,4,5,6 and 7 every week / month.

Use a whitening kit once a year or as required to keep your teeth white, or a daily whitening ‘top up’ kit.
