2. Teeth whitening IS NOT PERMANENT.
it usually lasts about 3-6 months and this depends on how well you maintain it.
3. How WHITE can my teeth get?
Teeth whitening will not make your teeth paper white. However you can achieve much lighter shades of your teeth as seen below.

HOW TEETH WHITENING IS DONE
First and most importantly,
NOT EVERYONE qualifies for a teeth whitening.
If you have holes, sensitivity or gum diseases, they have to be treated first.
The dentist would have to do a proper assessment to confirm if you can get a teeth whitening

If you scored between
0 - 20/60 = There is a HIGH chance you have mouth odour. 🤮
20 - 40/60= You may be safe, but it is important you see a dentist.

“Gap tooth” or spacing between the teeth can cause problems in the long run because usually the teeth keep moving and this disrupts the dentition.
For gaps and teeth alignment problems, we use braces to properly arrange the teeth.

The implant post is screwed into the bone and allowed to heal,

A tooth hole is caused by the interaction between bacteria in your mouth and the food you eat.
This releases acids that breakdown the teeth forming a hole
When you have a hole in your tooth, it initially acts like a pocket storing food.
This is how it gets worse…

4.Chewing gum! but wait, Not just any Gum.
Yes I know you weren’t expecting to see this, but chewing gum is one great way to reduce mouth odour.
It increases saliva production and saliva has a cleansing effect in the mouth.
BUT choose a SUGAR FREE gum containing xylitol.
