Bleach n smile
Teeth-whitening products use peroxide or another bleaching agent, and the result depends on tooth shade, restorations, and product use.
The short answer
Bleach N Smile refers to a teeth-whitening product or service, but the exact ingredients, concentration, application, and risks depend on the specific kit and who applies it. Whitening changes the colour of natural tooth structure and does not lighten fillings, crowns, veneers, or implants.
How does peroxide whitening break down tooth colour?
Most peroxide whitening works by allowing reactive oxygen to diffuse through enamel and dentine and break down colour molecules. Existing decay, cracks, gum recession, exposed roots, and untreated sensitivity can make whitening uncomfortable or inappropriate until assessed.
What should I do if whitening causes pain or burning?
Check the ingredient list and instructions, protect the gums from gel, and stop if there is significant pain, burning, or ulceration. A dental examination before whitening can identify decay and existing restorations that will not change colour.
When should a dentist assess a whitening reaction?
Seek assessment for persistent sensitivity, gum burns, uneven colour, pain, or a whitening result that exposes a darker filling or crown. Do not whiten through untreated toothache or an unexplained oral lesion.
What should I ask about whitening stains and restorations?
Ask which stains are likely to respond, whether decay or gum recession changes the plan, what concentration and contact time are proposed, and how existing restorations will be matched afterward.
Frequently asked questions
Will whitening change a crown?
No. A crown keeps its existing shade, so colour matching should be planned with the dentist.
Can I whiten sensitive teeth?
Sensitivity should be assessed first; the dentist may treat its cause or choose a modified whitening plan.
