Not everyone is a good candidate for tooth bleaching. In this consultation, our Vancouver dentist reviews whitening risks and safer alternatives to protect your teeth and gums.

Take‑home whitening can safely lighten stains, but peroxide gels can also trigger tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, and enamel issues if overused. Learn how to choose appropriate concentrations, adjust wear time, use desensitizing products (like potassium nitrate and fluoride), protect your gums with well‑fitted trays, and know when to pause or see your Kitsilano dentist before starting.

Non-vital tooth bleaching, also known as internal tooth bleaching, is a specialized cosmetic dental procedure designed to restore the natural whiteness of teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. Over time, these teeth may lose their luster due to factors like trauma, internal bleeding, or certain medications.
