How long will a teeth whitening treatment last?
It’s like bleaching your shirt. Wear it enough, it doesn’t look the same. Eat greens, red meat, black coffee, tea, it’s lost. You can expect to redo it every 6 months. My old secretary did it once a month because she wanted to constantly maintain it. I eventually crowned her teeth and she was thrilled. It can get very costly over time. Instead, just invest once in crowns and you’re done. Dr. Billet READ MORE

Toms of Maine toothpaste, Crest, Sensodyne have tubes marked "for sensitive teeth." It takes about 90 days to kick in. READ MORE
What is the medication that the dentist will use as an anesthesia before my root canal?

Is a root canal in pregnancy safe?
Answering your last part first.. no one can predict how long you can go without pain. Now to the 6 months. The best time to treat a pregnant woman is in the middle trimester. Ask you ob/gym as well. Do the root canal quickly and you will then need a post and crown where you can do those without anesthesia and therefore no risk to you or the baby. Call if you need Dr Billet 516-239-1879 READ MORE
