Is tooth whitening safe?

Whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide has been proven to be safe for teeth and gums. Though some patients have experienced increased tooth sensitivity, these symptoms tend to disappear within 1-3 days. In any case, any reaction should be reported immediately to your dentist.

Who is a periodontist?

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. Periodontists are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease. In addition, they can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire. Often, dentists refer their patients to a periodontist when their periodontal disease is advanced. However, you don’t need a referral to see a periodontist.
