🦷 Dental Trivia Tuesday!
True or false: Tooth whitening works on fillings and crowns.
👉 Answer: False.
Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. That’s why a dental consultation is important before whitening
✨ Thinking about tooth whitening? Here’s what’s important to know.
Tooth whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. It will not change the colour of fillings, crowns, or veneers — which is why a dental consultation is essential before whitening.
Your dentist will help you understand what results are realistic for your smile, check that whitening is safe for you, and plan the treatment properly.
In the UK, it is illegal for anyone other than a registered dentist to carry out tooth whitening. This protects patients and ensures treatment is safe and clinically supervised.
Why can only a dentist prescribe tooth whitening?
Dentists are trained and equipped with the knowledge and tools to manage any potential side effects, such as tooth sensitivity, and can adjust or replace fillings in your smile line if needed helping you achieve a balanced, natural-looking result.
