Tooth whitening. A simple way for your dentist to transform your smile!


There are many reasons why you may want to get your teeth whitened. Everyone’s teeth are different; and just as our skin and hair colour vary, so does the colour of our teeth. Very few people have brilliant white teeth, and our teeth can also become more stained and discoloured as we get older.

Your teeth may also become stained on the surface from eating certain food and drinks. Also smoking may stain your teeth.

Tooth whitening is a highly effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing or damaging the tooth surface. It cannot make a complete colour change, but it will lighten the existing colour of your teeth.

Tooth whitening has now become one of the most common and safest cosmetic procedures in the world. There are many studies in the dental literature that confirm the safety and success of tooth whitening.Your dentist will be able to tell you if you are suitable for tooth whitening treatment, and supervise it if you are. Your dentist will provide you with custom made mouth-guards that fits on your teeth like a gum shield, and a gel to place in the tray and on your teeth. You whiten your teeth at home and results are usually visible within a few weeks. 

The results of tooth whitening usually last around three years but you can easily “top this up” using tooth whitening gel at home.

A walk on Easter Sunday

Sunday was officially the first day of Spring, at least that was what my diary said. Easter Day dawned bright, sunny and very cold (actually it turned out to be one of the coldest on record). As has now become tradition, no shops open on Easter Sunday, so I took the opportunity to take a walk with the dog around a near deserted town centre. I took a few photographs and saw what may become Exeter's newest statue on Bedford Square.
