Trays made years ago can seem like an easy way back to lighter teeth. Before you reuse a set, here is what Selkirk residents may want to ask at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
A custom tray was made for your mouth as it was on a particular date. Since then, you may have had fillings placed, crowns added, or teeth shift a little. It is reasonable to wonder whether what fit back then still does, and that is a question for a dentist.
The gel is a separate matter. Professional gel is prescribed for a specific person and plan, and a leftover tube tells you little about what your teeth need today. Bring the whole set along and let someone look at it, along with your mouth.

New restorations or shifting teeth may have altered how an older tray sits around your teeth.
Previous directions were based on your earlier mouth, so your current situation deserves its own look.
Seeing your trays and any products directly lets the dentist answer your questions more specifically.
Going back to whitening does not mean going back to the same method. Your teeth, your sensitivity, and your preferences may have changed, and a fresh recommendation takes those into account.
Fitted trays and gel prescribed for your current mouth deliver gradual change across multiple applications, for as long as you are directed to wear them.
If you are tired of managing trays yourself, in-office treatment places the gel for you, once gums and soft tissues are protected, and checks the shade as it goes.
The dentist may suggest trays, in-office treatment, or a combination. Your earlier method does not decide what is advised now.
Having whitened before gives you useful information to share. Here is how a review of your teeth and old set could proceed.
Request your visitShare roughly when you used your trays, how often, and how your teeth responded. Details from memory are fine, and imperfect ones are still welcome.
Hand over the trays and any tubes you kept. The dentist can talk about what they are and whether they still have any place in your care.
An examination checks for cavities, cracks, recession, and restorations placed since last time, especially those that would be visible when you smile.
A fresh baseline shade gives everyone a starting point. Then you can talk through a realistic range and decide which direction suits you.
Coming in from Selkirk means a trip into Winnipeg, so it is worth bringing everything in one go. Pack the old items, even if you doubt they matter.
A request sent through the form is not yet an appointment, so wait for the clinic to confirm the time before making travel plans.

If your teeth felt sensitive during your last round, say so. Your memory can help shape a new protocol, although teeth may respond differently now, so last time’s experience may not repeat itself.
Mention whether anything has altered since your last whitening, such as new cold sensitivity or receding gums.
Please do not begin with old gel just to see what happens. Overuse or unapproved products can raise irritation and sensitivity.
Short-lived sensitivity is common, whereas sharp or lingering pain is something the clinic should hear about.
Going forward
Since you have already seen colour fade once, you know how this goes. A few simple questions can make your next course of whitening easier to manage over the longer term.
Ask how to clean and store your trays between uses, along with what to do if you notice a change in fit.
Touch-ups may be appropriate occasionally. Ask before each one, as your dental work or sensitivity might have changed in between.
Any future crown or filling will not lighten, and it could also affect your tray fit, so be sure to mention it.
Selkirk patients with questions after treatment can phone the clinic to ask how to proceed.

Ask our teamDo not rely on how they feel alone. Dental work and tooth movement can change the fit in ways that are hard to judge yourself, so ask to have them looked at in person.
Professional gel is prescribed for you after considering your mouth, which may have changed since your last round. Discuss it with the dentist rather than sourcing gel elsewhere and starting on your own.
Ask when you get in touch, and bring them regardless. Knowing who made them may help, but what matters most is how your teeth and the trays look now.
Yes, as they can still show what you used before, even if they are not going to be used again. The dentist can tell you what is worth keeping and what you should replace.
A smooth earlier experience is good to know, but your teeth may have changed since. Cavities, cracks, and new restorations can only be identified by examining your mouth as it is today.
Request a visit on this page, or call (204) 338-3003, and mention the trays. You would bring them to Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, at the time the clinic confirms.
