If your last whitening has worn off, that is normal and not a failure on your part. Before repeating it, have your teeth rechecked and ask whether a touch-up suits you now.
Let's find a time
Maybe you whitened your teeth for an occasion years ago, or used trays from another dental office, and now the brightness has slipped away. Residents of Inkster Gardens, in Winnipeg, who are thinking about doing it again often assume they can simply pick up where they left off.
It may not be quite that simple, because mouths change over time. A new filling, a crown, some gum recession, or fresh sensitivity could all affect what is appropriate today. A dentist at our McPhillips Street clinic can reassess your teeth before you commit to another round.

Whitening is never permanent, so a return of colour says nothing bad about you or your earlier care.
What you used, how it felt, and how long it seemed to last all help with future advice.
Anything that has changed since your last round can be checked before more gel is used.
What suited you previously is a useful starting point but not an automatic prescription. Your dentist considers what has changed and what your last experience teaches.
Your teeth today may differ in several ways from how they were when you first whitened.
Depending on your assessment, a dentist might suggest one of several supervised ways forward.
Whether whitening is suitable again depends on your examination, so please check with the clinic rather than restarting on your own.
A repeat whitening patient comes with useful experience. This is how that experience can be used during your assessment.
Request your visitDescribe the product or method you used, roughly when you used it, and whether it came through a dentist or from a store.
A fresh examination of your teeth and gums looks for anything that may need care, including leaking restorations, inflammation, and recession.
A new baseline is recorded, because your memory of an earlier result is not a reliable way of comparing colours.
We discuss whether a touch-up, a new protocol, or no further whitening makes sense, along with how often colour may need attention.
If you still have trays or gel from a previous round, bring them along or take a photo of the packaging. It gives your dentist a clearer idea of what you used and how it was meant to work.
Please hold off on using any leftover gel until you have spoken with the clinic, as overuse can raise your chances of irritation and sensitivity.
A consultation room and part of the waiting area at our clinic.
If whitening once left your teeth sore, tell your dentist how it felt and how long it lasted. Past reactions are one of the things considered when a protocol is chosen.
Which teeth reacted, and what triggered it? Even partial memories could shape a more comfortable plan this time.
Your dentist may change the concentration, the contact time, or the frequency, or suggest a desensitizing product.
If your result seems to be slow, extra gel is not the answer. Let the clinic know how things are going instead.
A longer view of upkeep
You already know that the result will not stay fixed forever. This time, you can talk about the long-term picture before you begin and not after the colour starts to fade.
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, plaque, and natural aging each play a part, and these vary from person to person.
Ask how to care for your trays between uses, and call if they stop fitting well after dental work.
Rather than going by the calendar, check in with your dentist when you feel a touch-up may be due.
A quick phone call before you restart is always a reasonable idea.

Helpful details about teeth whitening in Inkster Gardens.
Ask our teamPlease check first. Dental work and other changes in your mouth could affect how trays fit, so bring them to your assessment and let the dentist advise you whether they remain suitable.
Do not assume so. Talk to the clinic first, since gel is prescribed for a particular situation, and using a product beyond its directions can lead to more irritation.
Foods, drinks, tobacco, plaque, and aging all influence the pace, and the type of staining you had may play a role as well. Share your routine, and the dentist can offer a view.
It is not a problem. Just tell us what you remember about the method and how your teeth reacted, as that information can help with your assessment.
That crown will hold its existing colour while your natural teeth may lighten, so whitening could create a visible difference. The dentist can look at how much it shows before you go ahead.
Supervised whitening is planned around your oral health and the product’s instructions, whereas overuse can bring on more irritation and sensitivity. The dentist will consider your history before advising you.
Reach the clinic at (204) 338-3003 or through the request form. You would be seen at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, after your time has been confirmed.
