LASER TREATMENT
Many people try to use self-medication techniques to whiten their teeth with varying success. After all it is
difficult and uncomfortable to apply peroxide gel and strips to the teeth for thirty minutes a day over at a
minimum a two week period.
Often the effort and diligence required to apply over the counter products results in a less than satisfactory
condition. This is revealed through patchy success where some teeth respond to the treatment and others are
now more visible due to their stubborn resistance to treatment. This is often because not all teeth are stained
due to the same reason, some have external staining others has deep rooted causes for their discolouration.
However a critical difference from over the counter products or gel trays is that the dentist knows what he is
doing and so will identify the teeth that will respond and importantly those that will not respond to surface
treatment as the staining is inside the tooth and that will prevent a common condition to those that self-treat
of the chess board smile.
