Visitor asks:
Hello,
I am interested in tooth whitening. My dentist says that my teeth are not discoloured because of external effects, but that I probably have yellow teeth from childhood because of some medication, and it is also possible that the cause goes back as far as pregnancy. The effect of whitening is therefore said to be questionable. I would like to know what you think about this.
Thank you very much for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the teeth are indeed unevenly discoloured, which is usually a consequence of taking tetracyclines during the mineralisation of the affected teeth, the result of whitening is usually unsatisfactory. The teeth do become lighter, but uneven discolouration can still be visible afterwards, which is actually the most disturbing factor. In such cases we recommend aesthetic veneers.
Have a nice day!
