David asks…
I am considering getting the laser Tooth Whitening treatment for my teeth but i got a root canal treatment!?
Help! I really want to get a whitening treatment.. but I had a root canal treatment in one of my front teeth and now its becoming more discolored. 
Is the whitening treatment still recommended? Please help. I really hate it that I had to have a root canal treatment.. it made my tooth discolored and a part chipped off already

Whitening will not help your rct tooth. Your tooth is discolored because it is dead, there is no nerve anymore. You can bleach your other teeth and then get a crown to match. If it is chipped, you probably need a crown anyway.

Was my Laser Teeth Whitening Treatment just a con?
I spent £250 on a 1 hour teeth whitening session (really painful and has left my teeth very sensitive) and for about 2 days, my teeth were dramatically whiter…2 months on, they look the same as they used to, even though I have been using the bleaching kit the guy gave me every week. They were never that yellow anyway, but I wanted them REALLY white, like as white as all the celebs seem to have them. I am so annoyed, I feel like I have been ripped off. Has anyone else had this experience? Why aren’t my teeth whiter? How can I get them really white???
I didn’t get it done by a dentist, I had it done at a beauty salon – probably not the best option!
admin answers:
Did you have them whitened within a dental surgery setting, does not sound like it as many dentists will actually do a test tooth to see what the degree of sensitivity will be.
Trouble is everyone is sold the treatment as the be all and end all of having White Teeth and with some people it just will not work. As stated the really white teeth seen in the media are veneers which is a longer and much slower process.
Your problem is the sensitivity you have been left with has now been with you for two months so sadly it maybe a permanent thing for you now. It is a major risk with teeth whitening and is very understated away from the dental surgeries.
****Okay you have stated that you had it done in a beauty salon. That means it was done by an unqualified person with scant regard to the risks involved.
It is now really very important that you forget the failed whitening and deal with the long term and probably permanent issue of sensitivity.
You do need to see a dentist as soon as possible and discuss what can be done to restrict the damage.***
Sandy asks…
Does laser teeth whitening hurt?
I would love to a laser teeth whitening treatment, especially after reading this article -> http://www.myprettywhiteteeth.com/teeth-whitening-the-professional-way/ . Does the procedure hurt?
admin answers:
I’ve had it done twice, and it doesn’t hurt at all.
Daniel asks…
Are there any ways teeth be whitened without the use of laser treatment/whitening toothpastes?
admin answers:
Baking soda but it is quite abrasive so I would not recommend using it too often. You will wear down the surface of your teeth if you use it too much. Mix it with a bit of water to form a paste.
