We all know the importance of looking after our teeth by brushing twice a day and visiting the dentist for check-ups. But how clued up are you about cosmetic dental work? There are a few things to know about teeth whitening before you book in for a course of treatment – and the realities of the various at-home methods.
There is an array of over-the-counter products available to buy for at-home use, from the best whitening toothpastes to single-use strips, and these do have their place for less intense results. However, professional teeth whitening involves stronger formulas with higher concentrations of the active agent – but must be carried out safely if you’re to get good results.
