Tooth Whitening:
This question was recently asked in our forum:

Dr. Mackler, I'm interested in getting my teeth "whiter" - I have been using over-the-counter brands with no success - my sister had her teeth bleached by another dentist and I really didn't see that much of a difference - my questions are: 1) do you feel retail brands should work? 2) what is the difference between what I buy in the store and what you would put on - I know it should be quicker but in the end is it the same result? 3) what about laser? Does it damage your teeth and gums? Thank you for your advise Read the answer...
