Whitening is not a good solution for people with untreated tooth decay or gum disease. Not only are whitening agents ineffective in people with certain internal problems, but they can also cause over-sensitivity in teeth. So a dentist will need to work on improving the health of the teeth and gums before they can turn to purely cosmetic matters. Others who might need an alternative solution are those with teeth darkened by antibiotics taken as a child, trauma or people who have had bonding or tooth-colored fillings in their front teeth. While whitening might make these teeth a little lighter, it might not provide the even results you want.
