Dolly Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm thinking about having my teeth whitened at the dentist but am a bit of a wuss pain or discomfort wise - has anyone had this done and would you recommend it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My friend is a dentist and her practice offers two kinds of stain removal/whitening. They will do bleaching, which I have no experience of at all, but I believe it can cause your teeth to become more sensitive, I don't think this is always the case however. The other treatment they offer is a super-duper stain removal treatment (so not a whitener as such) which is great for people who have a build up of staining e.g. tea, coffee, smoking etc. This is called (I think) dental sylc and it's basically like having your teeth sand blasted I've had this done as I am a tea addict and have quite a bit of tea staining on my teeth. It really does make a difference, it is very quick (less than 5 mins) and is not painful or uncomfortable and I found actually lessened the sensitivity of my teeth. I'm not sure if all dental practices offer this, but if yours does I'd give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
