In recent years, teeth whitening has become one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments in not only the UK but around the world. Everyone wants to have a great and while smile, which is the reason behind its extreme popularity amongst people from all genders and age groups. Read on to find out more about the different myths and truths that are surrounding teeth whitening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s true. Well, no one would like to have a darker shade of teeth and most people want to choose a brighter and whiter smile. This is why many brides want to whiten their teeth so that they will match with their wedding gown on the big day. For a gentleman, it is somewhat similar to the white set of teeth with the white shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than cosmetic improvement, if there is a visible tooth darkening, that can lower your self-esteem, physical attractiveness and employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the main concerns most patients have about teeth whitening is if the treatment may be harmful for their oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The procedure provides long term safety for your dental health while not experiencing any damaging side effects that may come as an effect from the treatment. Professional teeth whitening won\u2019t work by stripping any part of the tooth or damaging the enamel. Rather, the ingredients that penetrate the dentine and enamel can brighten the tooth from inside and outside. The dentists will make sure that the whole procedure is carefully completed to ensure your complete safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to talk to your dentist before performing teeth whitening to reduce the safety net. Certain ingredients in over-the-counter methods include \u2013 abrasives and acids that can damage the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some social media influencers endorse to advertise different systems among which most of them are not always prescribed by dental professionals. Some of these are \u2013 whitening strips, UV light systems and paint on whitening that is considerably inexpensive but their risk is not considered. Thus, the effectiveness and safety of the procedure is less than that of professional whitening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
