Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
A brief 'white diet' — skipping strongly coloured food and drink for two days — protects the fresh result. Long-term, good hygiene and an occasional top-up every 12–18 months keep teeth bright.
Whitening Options Available in Llanfihangel-y-pennant
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening is done at the practice in one 60–90 minute appointment. A high-concentration gel is applied and activated with a light or laser, giving immediate results — typically a 4–8 shade lift, depending on your starting point.
Take-home tray whitening involves bespoke trays and dentist-supplied gel worn over roughly a fortnight — excellent, controllable results at your own pace.
Combined whitening (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Llanfihangel-y-pennant because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
Over-the-counter kits sold in shops are limited by law to weak gel concentrations, so they're fine for touch-ups but no substitute for dentist-led whitening.
