Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
Colour is tracked on the VITA scale — A1 at the light end through to C4 at the dark. Untreated teeth usually fall around A2–B3 in Nottingham patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
Yellow-toned staining lifts most readily; grey and intrinsic staining (antibiotics, fluorosis) far less so. Existing restorations stay the same shade, so front-tooth crowns or fillings may need separate planning.
Frequently Asked Questions — Teeth Whitening in Nottingham
How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Nottingham?
Cost in Nottingham is best thought of as a range rather than a fixed figure, since it depends heavily on what your specific case needs. Whether the case involves just upper teeth, lower teeth, or both arches affects cost, as dual-arch treatment adds appliances and appointment time. Many private practices offer payment plans, so the total cost is worth comparing alongside any monthly finance options offered.
