WHAT CAUSES YELLOW TEETH?
White Tooth
Enamel
Nerve
Yellow Dentin
Core
Gums
Although found in different shades, when teeth
begin to form they all grow with an external white
enamel. The foods and drinks we eat, such as
tea, coffee, red wine and strong colouring in
foods, gradually stain this white surface.
Abrasive tooth pastes and hard tooth brushes
(along with age) also accelerate the erosion of
the tooth surface - the white enamel - exposing the yellow dentin core which
lies beneath. Teeth often therefore appear yellowed and dull in colour.
NOTES
When emitted light appears dim, both batteries need replacing. Do not mix
old batteries with new ones.
The Teeth Whitening treatment will not whiten false teeth, including caps,
crowns, veneers, dentures, bridges or fillings.
For hygiene reasons this product is for single person use.
Frequently asked questions
How soon will I start seeing the results?
In most cases you will start to see results immediately after the first
treatment. It is not unusual for teeth to whiten by several shades during the
first few applications.
However, results do vary from user to user. Yellow stains respond very quickly
and dramatically in comparison to dull, blue/grey stains which are poor to
respond. If you have particularly deep staining to your teeth a number of
treatments may be required.
How often should I top-up with treatments once
I have reached my teeth whitening goal?
This will depend on your age and diet. If you continue to eat the foods and
drinks which have caused staining to your teeth your teeth will re-stain over
time. Initially the treatment is safe to use weekly or even daily for the first
month. Once you have reached your goal we recommend top-up treatments
once a month, providing you take proper care of your teeth as instructed by
your dentist and in this leaflet.
Can I use Blue Light Teeth Whitening on caps and crowns?
The Teeth Whitening kit will only whiten natural teeth but is safe to use on
false teeth. You will need to have any false teeth replaced if you want them
to match your new white teeth.
