5 Major mistakes people make when whitening their own teeth

1.            Often people don’t use tooth whitening products that contain the correct amount of peroxide.

At our Midlands Smile Centre practices, we use the latest tooth whitening gels that use the legally safe amount of peroxide.

2.            Many people don’t know it is illegal for anyone other than GDC registered dental professionals to sell or apply the correct treatments.

In all our MSC practices, we are fully trained and insured to make sure we deliver the best treatment to our patients, in a safe and trustworthy environment.

3.            Poorly fitted whitening trays, not made specifically for your mouth by trained dentists, can result in unpredictable results.

We only use high quality dental labs to make our bespoke trays. The better fitting the tray, the more predictable the result.

4.            If you do not attend a check-up before the treatment, this could result in damage to your teeth and gums.

Only a qualified dentist can make sure you are not at risk of causing harm to your teeth and gums, by ensuring your mouth is healthy before starting treatment.

5.            Some people do not get crowns and fillings checked to make sure the colours will match after tooth whitening.

 Getting professional advice before you start treatment is vital. At MSC we will advise you about how the end result may look and so that you can plan, if necessary, to have fillings and crowns treated afterwards. For more information book an appointment for our click here tooth whitening
