Everything we eat and drink, as well as the habits we adopt, like smoking, stain our teeth.

Tooth whitening removes these stains to give you a whiter, brighter smile.

After the consultation to determine the type of your discolouration, the options for tooth whitening will be explained and tailored to you.

The benefits of this procedure are:

• Whiter teeth.
• Preserving natural tooth tissue (unlike with crowns and veneers).

All the procedures that we recommend at K Dental Studios are safe.

For whitening:

• Only trained professionals such as dentists will carry out the procedure.
• We use no more than 10% Carbamide Peroxide, which is a safe and effective dose.

There are many causes of bad breath.

The most common are from the mouth, due to plaque deposits left behind on our teeth and gums.

Other factors such as various foods we eat and smoking could be contributing to bad breath.

As an initial step, and after a thorough examination we would:

• Recommend hygiene visits tailored to you, in order to get rid of the plaque and tartar build up.
• Show you how to brush your teeth more effectively by also using inter-dental aids to suit you.
• Advise you about various mouthwashes.
• Give you support and advice on stopping smoking.

Bleeding gums are usually a sign from your body telling you that you have not cleaned your teeth and gums properly.

Initially try to:

• Brush that area more thoroughly (not necessarily harder).
• Use floss or other inter-dental aids to remove any deposits in between the teeth.

If your gums are still bleeding, please do not ignore it.

Simply having a hygiene visit may solve this problem.

During this visit we will:

• Examine your gums to exclude any underlying gum disease, which we should treat.
• Thoroughly remove plaque and tartar build up.
• Show you how to maintain your teeth and gums clean with various hygiene aids tailored to you.

It is important that help is sought immediately in order to attempt to keep the tooth functioning.

Call us immediately for the right advice over the phone.

• The tooth should be handled by its crown (the part which can be seen in the mouth, not the root).
• Try to replace the tooth the right way around back into the socket. Bite down to keep in place.
• Alternatively, if this is not possible, please keep the tooth in milk (NOT WATER) or in the mouth. Call us and bring it with you to the practice immediately.
