It has been popular for people to buy products from the supermarket or drugstore to brighten their smiles at home. However, as tempting as it might be to grab a DIY toothpaste or strip, you might end up with tooth sensitivity or other dental issues instead. If you want to get that perfect smile, you are better off with professional teeth whitening in Croydon or elsewhere, as we’ll explain in this blog post.
What are the risks of DIY whitening?
- You will damage the enamel of your teeth when you use products too much or too often.
- You will have uneven results when you apply the products poorly or without related knowledge.
- You will irritate or make your gums more sensitive when you don’t use the products correctly.
- You will overlook problems until they become worse since you lack professional supervision.
- You will become reliant on or addicted to DIY solutions for your oral or dental problems.
How is professional whitening safer for you?
- A dentist checks that the right techniques and products are used on your teeth according to your particular needs.
- A dental practitioner knows and stays updated on the Poisons Standard and other regulations in the country related to products for whitening teeth.
- A professional uses stronger and more effective agents and applies them safely to ensure the results are even and worth the money.
- A dentist monitors any sensitivity and other issues and takes action immediately if any problems arise.
- A dental practitioner examines your mouth thoroughly before doing anything so procedures are tailored to your unique oral condition.
What is involved in professional whitening treatments?
Similar to how you get treated for other medical issues, the process begins with a consultation where the professional checks the condition of your teeth. They proceed to prepare your mouth for the procedure by cleaning or rinsing and so on. This is followed by them applying the products to every single tooth, paying careful attention to the front. Then, they provide instructions for aftercare to ensure that the results are going to last for a long time.
How are professional dental services worth it?
Compared to DIY methods, the results will look more natural. Plus, you will have peace of mind knowing that your gums and teeth are in safe and trained hands throughout the treatment. You’ll also enjoy a personalised approach that considers your individual needs, be it tooth sensitivity or tooth stains.If you want to improve your appearance beyond changing your clothes or hairstyle, it’s a good idea to get your teeth whitened professionally so you can flash people with a brighter smile.
