- [Will a whitening toothpaste really whiten my teeth?](https://www.dutchessdentalcare.com/faq/will-a-whitening-toothpaste-really-whiten-my-teeth/): Not entirely. Whitening toothpastes will reverse the effects of some surface stains, but not change the shade of the teeth themselves. The change is usually minimal.
- [Why do my gums bleed?](https://www.dutchessdentalcare.com/faq/why-do-my-gums-bleed/): Your gums bleed as a result of inflammation caused by the presence of bacteria in your mouth. This bacteria when not properly cleaned off your teeth will result in an irritation of the gum tissue. This irritation called gingivitis, will result in red, puffy and bleeding gums. Gone untreated, it can progress into periodontal disease.
- [Why are my teeth sensitive to cold?](https://www.dutchessdentalcare.com/faq/why-are-my-teeth-sensitive-to-cold/): Cold sensitivity can be due a number of reasons. Some people are just generally more sensitive to temperature changes. Other causes may be due to recession of the gum tissue, abrasions of the teeth, large metal restorations or decay. Treatments for this condition can include fillings, fluoride applications or the use of desensitizing toothpastes.
- [When I cannot brush my teeth, is there anything that I can do to slow down acid production?](https://www.dutchessdentalcare.com/faq/when-i-cannot-brush-my-teeth-is-there-anything-that-i-can-do-to-slow-down-acid-production/): Rinse your mouth with water after a meal or snack to neutralize acid and reduce bacteria by 30%. Also chewing sugarless gum or gum containing Xylotol has been shown to decrease the incidence of decay.
