What can be done about tetracycline staining on teeth Highlands Ranch

A question came up at at birthday party our Denver Dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp attended this weekend. This individual had had several does of tetracycline administered as a child for various reasons.  The unintended result was a significant darkening of their teeth and the question posed was… what can be done for this?

Will teeth whitening work?

Teeth whiten may or … may not work!  It depends upon the severity of the staining.  Our Dentists in Denver have not found a predictable way to determine how effective teeth whitening will be. The key is to whiten teeth and monitor the results.  In most instances it involves combining one-hour Luma teeth whitening with custom made take home whitening trays. Carbamide peroxide is the most common whitening solution that is used.  I comes in different concentrations an is responsible for whitening.
