Teeth\r\nwhitening is one of the most popular treatments all over the world. Lifestyle\r\nfactors such as consuming pigmented drinks, smoking and general staining will\r\naffect your teeth over time, however, with a good brushing routine and teeth\r\nwhitening treatments you can regain your bright, shiny smile. However, as\r\ntempting as it can be to buy whitening treatments on the internet, you should\r\nalways have it done by a professional.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In\r\nthis blog, we explain some of the problems associated with at-home teeth whitening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When\r\ndone by a registered professional, teeth whitening is a safe procedure.\r\nHowever, if you decide to buy teeth whitening kits on the internet you are at\r\nhigh risk of permanent damage. If the product is too strong, this can remove the\r\nprotective layers of your teeth and the enamel making your teeth weaker than\r\nbefore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Even if you\r\ndon\u2019t currently suffer from sensitivity, the wrong kind of teeth whitening can\r\nmake your teeth and mouth very sore. When the mouth guard doesn’t fit properly\r\nor whitening strips are placed incorrectly, bleach can leak out and cause\r\npainful burns on your gums and other areas of your mouth. Over time, you may\r\nnotice increased sensitivity when consuming hot drinks or cold foods, making\r\neveryday very uncomfortable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Using\r\nat-home kits is not a professional method of whitening your teeth and if you\r\ndon\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing you may end up with patching teeth. An uneven\r\nspread of bleach is one side effect you could end up with when certain areas of\r\nthe tooth grab the bleach more than others, therefore causing patchy colouring.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
