Dental nurses are well placed to help patients through their teeth whitening journey – from record taking to taking impressions and making custom trays, to taking a shade as well as a full set of intra- and extra-oral photographs, which can be used for a practice portfolio.
Allowing extra time during an appointment permits the dental nurse to deliver a high level of communication regarding the tooth whitening process, which can establish the patient’s understanding of the associated risks and benefits. A dental nurse can also offer advice on managing sensitivity, confirming the patient’s understanding and ensuring consent is still valid.
In addition, dental nurses can pour, cast and trim study models and fabricate a vacuum-formed whitening tray.
