Full body bleach before and after
Dental bleaching lightens natural tooth enamel and dentine, but it does not bleach skin or every type of dental discoloration.
Can dental bleaching whiten my whole body?
Dental bleaching lightens natural tooth enamel and dentine, but it does not bleach skin or every type of dental discoloration.
What does whole-body bleaching mean in dental care?
The clinical treatment is tooth whitening, not whole-body bleaching. Peroxide gel breaks down stain molecules within natural teeth; crowns, fillings, veneers, and some deep stains keep their existing shade.
What should I check before having my teeth whitened?
A dentist first checks decay, gum inflammation, cracks, sensitivity, and existing restorations. They may use custom trays or carefully controlled in-office gel, then give instructions for contact time, gel storage, and managing temporary sensitivity.
When should tooth whitening wait for dental care?
Have an examination before whitening if you have tooth pain, untreated cavities, gum bleeding, enamel defects, or a dark single tooth. Stop the product and seek advice if pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by gum injury.
What should I ask about whitening and tooth colour?
Ask what is causing the colour, whether every visible tooth will respond, and how existing restorations will look afterward. Ask which concentration and delivery method are suitable for your enamel and sensitivity history.
Frequently asked questions
Is whole-body bleaching a dental treatment?
No. Dental professionals provide tooth whitening for natural teeth, while skin-lightening products belong to a different medical and cosmetic field.
Why did one tooth stay dark?
A tooth with internal staining, previous trauma, root-canal treatment, or a restoration may need a separate assessment and treatment.
