FAQs for Blue Light Whitening:

Who should avoid it? Pregnant or lactating women, those with severe decay, receding gums, or specific types of deep staining (e.g., Grade 3 tetracycline) may not be suitable candidates.

How does it differ from home whitening? It is more effective (brightening by at least 8 shades) and provides instant results. It must be performed by a registered dentist.

Why do teeth turn yellow? Causes include staining foods/drinks, aging (thinning enamel), tetracycline staining from childhood, and smoking.

How long does it last? It is not a permanent process and depends on lifestyle. Patients are advised to quit smoking and avoid dark-colored foods to maintain the effect.
