Using tobacco, taking certain medications and consuming foods that stain (such as coffee, tea, red wine, dark chocolate, spices, etc.) can exacerbate this colouration, as these products can lodge in the teeth\u2019s enamel and dentin. Only teeth whitening in a clinic can act on this encrusted colouring, as the whitening products available in pharmacies act only on the surface stains.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The first rule of successful whitening follows a formula advocated by many professionals: the white of your teeth should match the whites of your eyes. If there\u2019s a big contrast between the two, your teeth will look dull. By reducing this contrast, bleaching excels at restoring a dazzling smile.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In-clinic teeth whitening is formulated to work deeply and in the safest way possible, without endangering your dental health in general. Your Prisma dentist uses gels available only to professional clinicians, since these products have a higher concentration of whitening agent, combined with a high water content to ensure their safety and to keep your teeth hydrated. The custom-made mouthguard also helps ensure that the entire surface of your teeth will be whitened evenly.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f2e05e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f2e05e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>IMPORTANT<\/strong><\/h4>\nDo you suffer from receding gums, meaning that your gums have shrunk and exposed the base of your teeth, which may or may not have turned brown over time?

Using a desensitizing toothpaste will usually remedy the issue. Although the mouthguard is custom made, sensitivity to the gums and soft tissues (cheeks, mucous membranes) may occur if the fit is not optimal. This inconvenience can be exacerbated if you do not follow the directions and apply too much gel in the mouthguard. Avoid swallowing the excess product, to prevent irritation to the throat. Lastly, wearing a mouthguard prevents perfect occlusion during the treatment itself, which may cause joint discomfort. The sensation should wear off once the application is complete and the mouthguard is removed.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>When teeth whitening at home, regardless of the nature of the discomfort, it is

This type of toothpaste protects and soothes by desensitizing the nerve endings inside the teeth (called \u201cdentin\u201d or \u201cdental pulp\u201d). Relief only begins to take effect two weeks after switching to sensitive toothpaste, so begin using it 14 days before your scheduled clinic whitening date.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The effect of potassium nitrate strengthens over time if you brush your teeth twice a day, every day. Potassium ions accumulate in the dental pulp and make the nerve insensitive to stimuli such as ice water, hot coffee, winter air, etc. This is why using toothpaste with potassium nitrate is recommended long-term for people with dental hypersensitivity. Here are a few types you can choose from:<\/p><ul><li>Colgate for sensitive teeth<\/li><li>Sensodyne REGULAR<\/li><li>Sensodyne Pro Enamel<\/li><li>PreviDent 5000 for sensitive teeth<\/li><li>Crest Sensitive or Crest Sensi-Relief<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7338141 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7338141\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The 2-2-2 rule<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-000da2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"000da2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For a successful whitening treatment, there is an easy-to-remember 2-2-2 rule that you must follow.

This is because, as noted above, any exposed part of your teeth does not benefit from natural enamel coverage, so whitening agents CANNOT ACT on their colour. To prevent having a two- tone smile and to obtain a uniform white result, ask your Prisma dentist for advice.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Your dentist may suggest tooth whitening before crowning or veneering to match the material to the new shade of your teeth. Whitening may also be recommended if you want to realign your teeth, using Invisalign orthodontic technology, for example, to achieve the smile of your dreams. Lastly, If you are getting cosmetic repairs on worn teeth in the front and you plan to have all your teeth whitened, pre- repair bleaching would be advisable to ensure, once again, the most harmonious and integrated result possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a0f695 elementor-align-center elementor-widget
