What is gum disease?
Gum disease starts when plaque builds up under and along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky film-like substance that’s filled with bacteria. It can cause infections that hurt the gum and bone, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Plaque also can cause gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Gingivitis causes your gums to become:

inflamed
tender
red
swollen
prone to bleeding
Fortunately, since the bone and tissue holding the teeth in place aren’t impacted, this damage is reversible.

You can also develop periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease. Periodontitis impacts the bones that hold your teeth in place. Left untreated, it can ruin the gums, bones, and tissues connected to your teeth.

The final stage of gum disease is advanced periodontitis. This is when the fibers and bone supporting your teeth are destroyed. It can impact your bite, and teeth may need to removed.

When it comes to your mouth’s health, it’s not all about how straight your teeth are or how bright your smile is. You can’t forget about your gums! Even if you’re cavity-free and have the pearliest chompers in town, that doesn’t mean you’re immune to gum disease. Since it’s usually painless, most people have no idea that anything is wrong with their gums.

Good evening

Tooth whitening is a treatment that is popular in these image-conscious times. White teeth project a sharp, clean, inviting and sexy image and are a bold signature of social confidence. In the business world it would be bad form to arrive at an interview or meeting brandishing a tobacco or coffee stained set of teeth.

With the advent of better dentistry, fluoride-containing toothpaste, and an increased hygiene awareness, people are more likely to keep their teeth until they are 100 years old! Many of us are looking for ways to improve the appearance of our smiles as well as portraying a healthy, younger image – tooth whitening is essentially an anti-aging treatment.

There is no point in having a set of brilliantly white teeth that are crooked. An ideal situation is that you straighten and whiten your teeth for the most potent effect. A consultation with a qualified registered dental practitioner (not beautician) will determine whether you are suitable for tooth whitening.
Tooth whitening is a method of lightening the color of your teeth without the need to remove any surface tooth material. Very few people have “pearly white” teeth but the whitening process can change the shade of your teeth significantly enough to give a good contrast against your skin
The surfaces of your teeth gradually stain over the years through the consumption of foods which may contain certain natural or artificial dyes, smoking, poor tooth brushing technique and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine, fizzy drinks etc. In some cases the porosity of the enamel is quite high making the teeth more likely to absorb stains. If you are unfortunate enough to have suffered from enamel erosion or wear your teeth will take on a darker appearance. In any case, we all require a degree of stain removal and tooth whitening to improve the overall radiance of our smiles.

Existing discolored fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures will not lighten with this procedure. Tooth whitening is not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or allergic to any components in the whitening material.
What does tooth whitening involve?
During the consultation process, you will be given advice on the best approach to achieving your goals. There are two different methods available which can be used individually or in combination with one another. Home whitening involves the use of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide gel which is applied to the teeth through custom-made trays (like gum shields). The trays should be worn for 2-5 hours per day over a period of 2-3 weeks for effective whitening.

Laser power whitening or in-surgery whitening utilizes a more potent gel applied directly to the surface of the teeth which is activated by a special (laser) light. The procedure is repeated up to three times to obtain maximum tooth lightening. This method can give a dramatic color improvement at the first visit although a follow-up visit may be required for stubborn stains. The laser power whitening appointment takes about one hour.
How long do my teeth stay white?
The lightened effect can last two to three years depending on whether you smoke and how often you ingest products that stain your teeth such as tea, coffee, etc. The key is avoidance of staining foods and drinks.

Are there any side effects?
Occasionally during or after the treatment, there might be some tooth sensitivity. If the gel spills onto the gums little white spots might be seen but these disappear within a few hours. At the consultation appointment, it is important for you to mention if you have ever suffered from sensitive teeth so that the appropriate steps can be taken to avoid any further sensitivity.

Does tooth whitening always work?
Heavy staining from tetracycline, fluorosis and discolored teeth due to weakened enamel (hypoplasia) are very difficult to lighten. Dead teeth (where the nerves have been removed) discolor internally and will not lighten with surface whitening. However, if these dead teeth have been root filled by your dentist they can be whitened.
