With teeth and claws… or a little dental hygiene

Tooth whitening

Tooth whitening helps to restore the natural color of the teeth. The process is simple. Whitening agents break down within the tooth and release oxygen, which removes the stains without damaging the tooth structure - causing a healthy white smile. The degree of whiteness may vary per patient, depending on the structure of the teeth and the time of application of the product.

Tooth whitening is a process that illuminates the discoloration of the enamel and dentine. Research shows that whitening teeth with 9-16% of urea peroxide are completely safe for teeth and gums under the supervision of dentist.

Why do I need an X-ray?

Early tooth decay does not show many physical signs. Sometimes the tooth looks healthy, but your dentist will see X-ray (X-rays) see if there is a decay under the enamel, no possible infection in the roots or tooth skeletons. X -rays can help the dentist get into the teeth or under the edge of the fillings. Early detection and management of dental problems can save time and money.

For children, X -rays can show where the second teeth are and when they come out. This also applies to adults when the wisdom teeth start to come out.

How often should an X-ray be taken?

If you are a new patient, unless you have had dental x-rays recently, your dentist will likely recommend an x-ray. This will help them assess the condition of the mouth and check for hidden problems. After that, X-rays are usually recommended every 6-24 months, depending on the individual, caries history, age and current oral condition.
