Certain medication

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
During the teeth whitening process, we’ll place a lip retractor in your mouth to have easier access to your teeth. Then, we’ll cover your gums with a gel to protect them from the bleach. We'll polish and clean your teeth, then coat them with a whitening agent. We use peroxide to make the cleaning agent stronger and enhance its effects with a laser or light.
Finally, we’ll rinse your mouth thoroughly, and you’ll undergo a fluoride treatment. Your teeth may be sensitive after treatment, but it shouldn’t last for more than a few days. Call our office if it does. Avoid staining foods and drinks for the next 24 hours after your treatment.
