Purpose/Usage
What is tooth whitening?
Tooth whitening is the process by which the discolorations of the enamel are
lightened.
How long will it last?
This will depend on your oral habits. Pola Paint can be used daily to brighten your
teeth.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown that bleaching is safe for teeth and gums.
How does tooth whitening work?
The active ingredient (carbamide peroxide) is broken down, allowing oxygen
to enter the enamel and dentin, causing the stains to be lightened
What causes teeth to discolor?
There are many causes of tooth discoloration. Some of the most common
include the consumption of highly colored foods (beetroot, candy etc) and drinks (coffee, sodas, red
wine). Antibiotics consumed at an early age, natural aging, smoking and trauma can also add to discoloration.
What is the taste?
A pleasant spearmint flavour.
Are there any side effects?
For the majority of people there are none. However, some may experience
temporary sensitivity (dull or sharp) on the teeth and/or gums. This will subside after several hours of
stopping the treatment. A topical desensitizing tooth paste or gel can be used. Abstain from carbonated
drinks, citrus foods and beverages to avoid sensitivity for a few hours after treatment.
Are there any long term effects?
Dentists have been using peroxide whitening for over 50 years and there
have been no known long term effects.
What causes teeth to stain again after bleaching?
The same things that made them stain in the first
place, ie general aging, red wine, smoking, tea, coffee, colored foods etc.
How often do you have to get your teeth whitened?
Once your teeth are whitened it usually lasts 1-3
years, however some people prefer to have touch-ups every 6-12 months or more frequently using Pola Paint
Is it better to use the Pola Paint treatment now or wait until my teeth are more stained?
It is better to
use Pola Paint now as the stains will become worse and darker. The teeth will then require more
applications of bleach as stains will be harder to remove.
Are my teeth more easily stained now that they have been whitened?
No, the chance of staining your
teeth are not increased once they have been whitened, if you follow the post treatment care instructions
given to you with your Pola Paint.
Will my crowns, veneers and fillings get whiter?
No, only your natural teeth will.
Is it safe to whiten my teeth if I am pregnant or lactating?
No studies have been done so we advise
pregnant or lactating women not to undergo bleaching.
Medicines have benefits and some may have risks. Always read the label
carefully and use strictly as directed. If symptoms continue or you have
side effects consult your pharmacist or doctor immediately.
