Safe Teeth Whitening From Trusted Professionals
With the many advances in dentistry in today’s modern world, it can sometimes be daunting when choosing a dental treatment, especially when it unclear what the safest choice is.
Cosmetic enhancement treatments have gained some level of notoriety over the years, whether it was an unqualified doctor using too highly concentrated Botox or the more recent problem with unsafe home teeth whitening equipment.
Home Whitening kits
Home whitening kits are more or less of the same safety percentage as in-surgery whitening, and can produce the same or better results, as long as it is done properly and the right kit is used, bought from the right place.
Home whitening kits will usually come with either strips or a tray, which are used to transfer whitening gel to your teeth. The gel should be left on your teeth for an amount of time determined by the included instructions. The chemicals within the gel will penetrate the outer layer of your teeth and remove stains and discolouration.
The chemical used is usually peroxide. However, it is this that can cause problems, as heard recently on the news, when not done properly. Some home whitening kits, usually bought from the internet, use peroxide that is too highly concentrated. When the correct dose is used for the amount of time indicated on the instructions, it is quite safe. But it is these other faulty home kits that can cause problems.
Where to get authentic Home Whitening kits
The best place to purchase safe, reliable and effective home whitening kits is from your local dental clinic. If bought from the right place, home whitening kits can be just as effective as any teeth whitening done at the dental surgery and, if used multiple times over a long stretch of time, can even prove to have a more dramatic change to the whiteness of your teeth.

Finding The Middle Ground
Many people manage to quit smoking. It is possible, it’s not a myth, and your health really does improve as a result. But while those nicotine stains on your smoking hand might fade away, the stains on your teeth that smoking causes will not, and your smile will always give you away as having been a smoker. Let’s be honest, it’s not a pleasant sight, is it? Shane MacGowan might be cool, but his teeth could scare children. Just because you don’t smell like smoke anymore doesn’t mean that the other aesthetic drawbacks of smoking will disappear overnight.
There are a few different ways to improve that smile—and despite rumours to the contrary, ex-smokers do smile—and the first of these would be over-the-counter teeth whitening kits. These are good options, although it is important to read the instructions or you could end up with a smile like David Schwimmer’s character Ross in that episode of Friends. You know, the one where he leaves the peroxide on overnight and his smile can be seen under a blacklight. A cosmetic dentist can tell you how to operate these kits, should you be in any doubt, and as you neither want to horrify nor blind people with your smile. It’s best to seek their advice if you have any queries over your teeth, and many cosmetic dentists offer free consultations about the stain removal and teeth whitening options available to you.
Faster, if more expensive, options are to have your cosmetic dentist whiten your teeth for you. The various methods they can employ depend on the severity of the staining, but as skilled professionals they can distance you from the Pogues look without making you the punchline of a sitcom gag.
