Hello. The most interesting part of this video was when you had to switch back and fourth between patients. That was real time and that was something that showed me how it might be sometimes. Another interesting part was you showing the x-ray of the patients teeth and gums and explaining them.

Do you ever clean teeth with pumice or something prior to whitening treatment? I have experienced patients that have plaque around teeth when they come in for whitening even though they had their hygiene appointment a few days ago.

Yes, and if there’s some reoccurring supragingival tartar present in the smile line, I’ll remove it prior to whitening.

I am a British dental therapist and my main concern is that generalised bone loss on those rads. Here in the UK bone loss is our first priority and we would be pocket charting and dealing with the perio before placing crown and bridgework.
@KaleshaMonet 2 жыл бұрын
Patients are under general dentist & periodontist care, alternating every 3-4 months. Their perio conditioned is being maintained, therefore proceeding with restorative care is acceptable.
@malebhaskar 2 жыл бұрын
You are right. The generalized bone loss is due to the presence of overhang in fillings.

I try and make sure they have realistic expectations before beginning. One zoom tx is $599. I’ve never experienced a patient that wasn’t pleased with their results so no one has had to come back for multiple treatments. That price also includes custom trays so they whiten as often as they’d like.
