Whiter Than White 'love that smile'

Will my teeth whiten if I have tetracycline staining?

Tetracycline is an antibiotic often used instead of penicillin. Unfortunately extended use of tetracyclin in expectant mothers or children under the age of 6 may cause permanent discolouration of the teeth.

Tetracycline staining often looks like dark yellow, brown or typically grey bands across the teeth.

Tetracycline staining will whiten but it will take alot longer than the usual two weeks. If you are persistant you'll see results in a few months using our strong carbamide peroxide gel.
