Fluorosis Treatment – Teeth Whitening

There is a form of fluorosis where there is brown discoloration in addition to the usual white discoloration. In most instances, microabrasion (conservative removal of the outer most layer of enamel) followed by teeth whitening can make the brown discoloration less apparent.

The sample case showed a marked improvement with Zoom in-office teeth whitening. The areas of white fluorosis will stand out much more for the first two weeks following teeth whitening. After that, when the color has stabilized, the fluorosis will be less noticeable since the teeth will be whiter overall.
