Teeth whitening is one of the most popular services that are offered by professional cosmetic dentists in the UK. It is always a wise to consult your dentist about having your teeth whitened rather than having it done at a beauty spa or by using a home teeth whitening kit that you can buy over the counter.
Teeth whitening can be hazardous if done incorrectly or if the treatment is repeated too many times. This is why you need to help and guidance of a professionally trained cosmetic dentist to guide your treatments and keep a check on the health of your teeth and gums at the same time.
Steer clear of DIY kits
There are a lot of teeth whitening kits available online that are sold for home use. While you may look at these and think that they are safe to use because they have glowing reviews from previous customers, in truth many of these products can actually be dangerous, especially if you are particularly sensitive to any of the whitening chemicals used in the formulation.
Even if you risk it and the product does work OK, you still need to be very careful because these kits can cause damage to your teeth and gums if used incorrectly or you over-use the product. In fact, home teeth whitening kits tend to be quite hit and miss and many users have suffered injuries to their gums and damage to their tooth enamel through using DIY kits, but they rarely take the time to complain about them.
