Many patients choose to whiten their teeth. We offer various tooth whitening options at our dental office.
Aside from these tooth whitening treatments, there are whitening toothpastes and other over-the-counter products that you can check out. However, these products usually contain a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide and can only do so much to whiten teeth on the surface. They are often more abrasive in an attempt to remove stains.
For your safety, itβs best to consult your dentist first. And if you would like to try other products, look for the seal of approval from the Canadian Dental Association.

2. Tooth whitening may not work on some teeth. Whitening treatments arenβt effective on teeth with dental work like composite restorations or crowns.
3. Tooth whitening isnβt permanent. Tooth whitening will require touch-ups. The frequency will depend on your diet, lifestyle, and your teethβs condition.
