I had some depression and self-confidence issues that really set me back and I didn\u2019t take care of myself. I\u2019ve come along way and am in a really good place. I feel good about myself emotionally and now I want to make the outside match the inside. I figured I\u2019d start with my teeth \u2013 who doesn\u2019t want a beautiful, white smile? Unfortunately, Zoom whitening was too expensive for me, so I decided to try an at-home kit I found online. It\u2019s been a couple of months and I\u2019ve been using it every day. I can definitely tell my teeth look whiter \u2013 except for one small spot where I have filling. How can I get the filling to whiten? I\u2019d rather not pay for Zoom whitening if I can get it done here at home. &#8212; Heather<\/p>\n<p>Heather,<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so great to hear that things are looking up for you! As for the filling, there\u2019s no amount of whitening that can be done that will change the color of it \u2013 not even <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-zoom-whitening.html\">Zoom<\/a>. If you want it to look like rest of your teeth, you will have to have it removed and replaced with a shade that matches.<\/p>\n<p>Did the kit you are using recommend whitening every day? If not, you should be careful because many of the stronger formulas can cause problems if overused. Have you experienced any pain or gum irritation? \u00a0If so, you should discontinue use immediately so you don&#8217;t cause more serious pain or even permanent damage. \u00a0You might even notice discolored enamel or \u00a0uneven color depending on the product\u2019s strength.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule a consultation with your dentist. It\u2019s always best to have a check up and cleaning before starting a whitening regimen. They can also help troubleshoot any problems you may have or even make custom trays to be used with a <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-teeth-whitening.html\">professional-strength solution<\/a> that costs a lot less than expensive in-office procedures. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I been through some tough times in the last couple of years.
