Does it work?

Over time your enamel becomes naturally discoloured and starts to look more yellow. In some cases, yellow teeth can be self-inflicted if you neglect your dental routine and have a poor diet.

Tooth whitening does work but it depends on the method you choose to use. Professional teeth whitening in dentist surgeries with a qualified dental professional can give you longer lasting and excellent result. This is usually through a bleaching agent that is applied over 2 to 4 weeks.
However, over the counter teeth whitening sets tend to be disappointing as they lack the necessary amount of whitening product to have a huge effect on the colour of your teeth and the results may be inconsistent. Furthermore, you should not have your teeth whitened by anyone who isn’t a professional. Some beauty salons offer tooth whitening, however, they are not qualified to undertake the treatment and as a result, there could be issues, such as the whitening liquid seeping out of a mouthguard and blistering your skin. Dentists use mouthguards that we perfectly fit your mouth, something beauty salons may not offer.
Teeth whitening can be a huge success; however, you must trust the dental professionals with the procedure.
