FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are other situation where bleaching is done?

These teeth requires to be root canal treated before bleaching if not done priorly .then bleaching gel is inserted inside the the tooth just as tooth filling is inserted in the tooth ,effect can be seen within a week .
Are there any Side-effects?
The majority of patients suffer mild sensitivity during treatment. This typically resolves once bleaching has stopped. If the teeth are sensitive before bleaching, they will probably become more sensitive during bleaching.
There have been no reports of long-term side-effects of using nightguard vital bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide. Even prolonged (six to nine months) nightguard vital bleaching has been shown to be safe.
Which Toothpaste Should be Used when Bleaching?
There is some evidence that brushing with a toothpaste containing 5% potassium nitrate for two weeks prior to bleaching helps reduce the risk of sensitivity. Normal toothpaste is usually used during bleaching. Toothpastes will not bleach teeth but brushing with a good-quality toothpaste can help reduce stain formation.
Is Chair-side (also Known as “Power” or “In-surgery”) Bleaching Better than Nightguard Vital Bleaching?
The short answer is no. There is very limited scientific evidence supporting the long-term efficacy of light-assisted chair-side bleaching. The gold standard is nightguard vital bleaching using 10% carbamide peroxide. This method has the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval. Light-assisted chair-side bleaching is useful for patients unable to tolerate wearing a bleaching tray and in situations in which a “kick-start” to bleaching may be advantageous.
How Long does Bleaching Last?
The effects of nightguard vital bleaching last on average two to three years before there is any noticeable deterioration. The colour change can remain stable for up to seven years, but bleached teeth may need some “top-up” bleaching at two- to three-yearly intervals. If additional bleaching is required, the time taken is normally much less than that required for the initial bleaching. As a general rule, topping up takes one night for each week taken to complete the initial bleaching.
Why Not Use Over-the-counter Products as Advertised on TV and in Magazines?
Bleaching is best managed by a dentist, who will diagnose the cause of the discolouration, assess the risk of any possible adverse effects and, where indicated,supervise bleaching, possibly as part of a more extensive treatment plan. This helps avoid colour-mismatching of teeth and restorations.Many of the over-the-counter products have no proof of their safety or efficacy. Some products contain acids which may etch and damage the teeth and others contain titanium dioxide, as used in white paints. The titanium dioxide may whiten teeth but the effect is typically very short-lived. Many of the claims made in respect of over-the-counter products are considered to be misleading As a consequence they can be uncomfortable and may fail to protect the gel from salivary deactivation,thereby producing a very disappointing result.
Are Whitening Toothpastes Effective?
Whitening toothpastes primarily remove superficial stains. Most whitening toothpastes contain only 0.1% hydrogen peroxide. None have been shown to be effective at bleaching intrinsic discolouration. A regular toothpaste used together with a proper brushing technique may be just as effective as a whitening toothpaste in removing superficial extrinsic stains.
How Much Carbamide Peroxide Gel is Swallowed During Bleaching with a Bleaching Tray?
About 25% of the carbamide peroxide gel in the tray is swallowed. Most of the hydrogen peroxide which escapes from the tray is immediately inactivated by saliva before it is swallowed. Exposure to hydrogen peroxide is at its highest when the tray is inserted. The exposure reduces rapidly over time.
Is Swallowing Hydrogen Peroxide Harmful?
Most of the hydrogen peroxide released into the mouth during bleaching is inactivated by normal saliva before being swallowed. Any gel that is swallowed is readily inactivated in the stomach. Any hydrogen peroxide that is absorbed and enters the circulation is quickly and effectively inactivated by red blood cells.
