What is Teeth Whitening?
What Causes Teeth Discolouration
Teeth staining is more common than you think it is. Staining can be caused by your food such as citrus, beets; or your drinks like coffee, tea and red wine. This type of staining is referred to as Extrinsic Factors and is relatively easier to remove with proper oral hygiene.
Over years, your lifestyle and bad oral hygiene can leave your teeth looking dull and discoloured.
Another tooth discolouration factor is called Intrinsic. One example is fluorosis, which happens as a result of medication taken throughout childhood. The teeth absorb fluoride (which is found in a lot of antibiotics), and at a young age, it can cause permanent damage to your tooth surface.

- After a year or two, minor touch-up treatments may be recommended by your dentist to maintain the whiteness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are ideal candidates for teeth whitening?
Almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of teeth whitening. The minimum requirement is to have healthy gums. During your dental appointment, your Blackburn cosmetic dentist will check if you are an ideal candidate for teeth whitening depending on your current oral health including the discolouration on your teeth. This is because intrinsically-caused discolouration can’t be solved by teeth whitening. You may need other cosmetic options like porcelain veneers and crowns.
Are over-the-counter teeth whitening kits the same with take-home teeth whitening?
Is the teeth whitening procedure painful?
The teeth whitening procedure is generally pain-free. You may experience tooth sensitivity during or after treatment and slight discomfort in the gums, but both side effects are temporary and will disappear after a few days.
However, if you experience discomfort or have a low pain tolerance, we have different sleep dentistry options to assist you during your In-chair teeth whitening treatment.
Choose among:
- General Anaesthesia – Best for patients with deep phobia and fear and who can not open their mouths at the sleep dentist. As well as younger individuals who need wisdom teeth removed and older individuals who need major work but have limited time and want no memory of the procedure.
- IV Sedation – Best for moderate to mild phobic patients, those with anxiety issues and patients with a severe gag reflex. When a patient needs major dental work in single long session.
- Happy Gas – Best for patients who dislike needles as it provides a bit of altered consciousness and reduces mild anti-anxiety. It can be used safely for most patients except for ones with a terminal disease or respiratory obstruction, severe cold or hay fever.
- Anti Anxiety Medication/Sedation via Inhalation – Best for patients with mild anxiety. It is easy to use, non-threatening and patients are in control with the device in their hand and can moderate how much they need to use.
- Oral sedation – Most common form of antianxiety medication used for majority of patients. Best for patients who have fear of needles.
