A third of all cosmetic dental treatments carried out involves tooth whitening
As we get older our teeth naturally become discoloured and as a result, teeth whitening has become one of the fastest growing areas of dentistry
If you are thinking about whitening your teeth, the British Dental Health Foundation has provided the following advice:
1.Seek advice from your dentist if you are considering using a home whitening kit.
2.Always have your teeth whitened by a registered qualified dental professional.
3.Always get a written estimate of the cost of tooth whitening before treatment. You should expect to pay more for ‘laser’ or ‘power whitening’.
4.Cut down on food and drinks, which stain your teeth such as tea, coffee, red wine and blackcurrant juice.
5.Always look for the British Dental Health Foundation approved logo on the packaging of oral care products. This is a guarantee that the claims made about the product have been scientifically and clinically checked by an independent panel of experts.
