Teeth Whitening
Bleaching your teeth is the process of lightening the enamel’s colour.
Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are the primary components found in tooth whitening treatments. Usually, the chemicals are put to your teeth as a gel. Also, a light is occasionally used.
Where can I get my teeth whitened?
The powerful whitening gels and products containing more than 6% hydrogen peroxide are restricted to use by licenced dental practitioners only. These work the best.
According to the Australian Dental Association, only licenced dentists are qualified and experienced to determine whether bleaching is safe and suitable for you. It is their duty to adhere to quality and safety standards.
Teeth whitening kits are also available at supermarkets and online. These could include charcoal, bicarbonate of soda, or bleaching agents. Certain kits might not be dependable, and using them improperly can lead to additional dental issues.
If you get teeth whitening done by an unlicensed dentist, it can harm your gums and teeth. Dental professionals may offer a qualified evaluation of your teeth and are in charge of adhering to safety and quality standards.
