Tooth Whitening
Why whiten my teeth?
Is your smile looking a little dark or dull? Have you found that your teeth have discoloured overtime?
If so, the tooth whitening treatments available at Inspired Dentistry could help you regain your sparkle.
Unfortunately as we get older our teeth naturally darken in colour. A number of factors combine towards this process.
They include:
- Our diet and the regular consumption of dark food and drink (such as coffee, tea, fizzy drinks, wine, berries)
- Bad habits such as smoking
- How well we brush our teeth
- Certain illnesses and long-term medications
- Damage and diseases in the teeth
- Genetics
Sadly even with the best tooth care our teeth still stain. This is because stains build up on the inside of the enamel and can’t be removed with brushing or polishing alone.
Tooth whitening is the ideal way to quickly refresh your smile helping to give it a noticeable and attractive overhaul. Treatment is convenient, safe and comfortable.
At Inspired Dentistry, we can offer handy take home kits which can be provided for use at home as and can be used at times convenient for you.
We can advise you on the best type of treatment for you. Call us today to book a consultation.
Safe tooth whitening
If you are interested in getting your teeth whitened it’s important to visit a reputable and licensed dental practitioner. Due to the increased popularity of tooth whitening unfortunately there are now many products available to buy cheaply online. Certain beauty or hair dressing salons also offer tooth whitening treatments.
Such unlicensed and unregulated products can be dangerous and may result in damage to your teeth and gums. In fact, recent regulation in the UK now states that only a qualified Dental professional can legally carry out tooth whitening. It is also illegal for anyone under 18 to have their teeth whitened.
At Inspired Dentistry your teeth will be fully checked before we begin the whitening process. We can fully advise you on what to expect and how to use the products safely. Although side effects are very rare, should you have any problems at all we are here for you at any point.
