Non Vital Whitening

This can be used for teeth that have had a root canal procedure performed on them, because root canaled teeth often do not respond well to other whitening methods. The dentist will put a whitener into the tooth and seal it up with a temporary filling, and after a while the tooth will whiten up from the inside out. (See also Vital Whitening).
