A radiant smile can do wonders for your self-confidence, especially when you have an important event coming up or simply want to erase those persistent stains that prevent you from smiling with self-assurance. One common question people often ask is whether teeth whitening is safe.
When carried out under the supervision of a professional, teeth brightening is generally considered a safe and effective way to perk up your smile. However, it’s worth noting that some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation during or after the treatment.
These side effects are usually minor and tend to subside on their own within a short period. To ensure the best results and minimise any potential risks, it’s crucial to consult with a dentist before undergoing teeth whitening.
What About Brightening at Home?
While there are numerous at-home teeth whitening options, having your teeth professionally whitened by a dentist is undoubtedly the preferred choice. Dentists possess the knowledge and skills to assess the condition of your teeth and gums, ensuring that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
They also use high-quality, controlled bleaching agents that are generally considered safe and efficient, which can minimise the risk of tooth sensitivity or damage to the enamel. Furthermore, professional brightening treatments offer customised solutions tailored to your specific needs, resulting in more even and long-lasting results.
Attempting to whiten your teeth at home without proper guidance can lead to uneven results, over-bleaching, and potential harm to your oral health. Therefore, investing in professional teeth whitening helps you achieve a brighter smile, but also safeguards your overall dental wellbeing.
