Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm a practicing dentist working in Leeds, UK. Here you can read (and comment on!) the advice I give my patients. How fantastic is that?

"Whitening" toothpaste, how does that work then?
Think of it as wire-wool for your teeth. Works at first, soon enough all the enamel is gone. Problem.
The dentine which was underneath the enamel is now on the surface. Dentine is porous and sensitive. Now your teeth are sensitive, particularly to cold, and deeply stained.
