Crest 3d luxe professional
Crest 3D White Luxe is whitening toothpaste; professional whitening uses clinician-selected materials after an oral examination.
The short answer
A toothpaste can remove or lighten some surface stain through brushing, but it does not change the internal colour of a tooth like peroxide-based whitening treatment can.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Use the product as directed with a soft brush and avoid aggressive pressure. A dentist should check decay, cracks, gum disease, fillings, crowns, and sensitivity before professional whitening.
What can you do next?
Seek dental care for tooth pain, marked sensitivity, gum irritation, or darkening of one tooth. A single discoloured tooth may need a diagnosis rather than a whitening product.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask whether your discoloration is surface stain or internal change, whether existing restorations will change colour, and which whitening material and contact time are suitable.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask the dentist to explain the diagnosis, examination findings, and treatment choices that fit your mouth.
Frequently asked questions
Can home care cure this problem?
Home care can reduce irritation and support cleaning, but it cannot replace diagnosis or treatment when a tooth, infection, lesion, or structural problem is involved.
What will an examination involve?
The clinician reviews the history, examines the mouth, and may use focused tests or imaging to identify the source.
