Case study - tooth whitening - Rachel Ducker

CASE STUDY - RACHEL DUCKER

I have to say the idea of having my teeth whitened at first seemed like it was going to be a daunting experience.Mainly because  I have never had to have impressions before and thought it was going to be really difficult.

I booked in to have my teeth whitened at The Angel Link Dental Practice in Halesworth. When I went in to see Michelle, I must confess I was very nervous.

As soon as I got in the chair, Michelle managed to calm all of my nerves away with her confidence and detailed explanations of what was going to happen.

We started off by taking some images of my current shade of tooth colour.

I then had to have the dreaded impressions taken. This is basically when putty is put in the mouth to mould the tooth shape - which will create the mouth guard used to insert the whitening liquid.

The putty was flavoured which made it quite pleasent in fact and the impressions lasted no longer than five minutes.

My experience of this first stage was very surprising, actually quite enjoyable!

Keep posted to find out more about my tooth whitening process as the stages continue.
