It’s almost December, meaning that the Christmas party season is about to officially open. For many, the much anticipated work and family gatherings are the highlight of the year and are awaited with excitement. However, if you have are not happy with the appearance of your teeth, you may well be a lot less enthusiastic about the idea. Instead, you will be focused on ways to escape the photos, avoid having to show your smile and dodging questions about why you look so unhappy. Luckily, there is still time to restore your sparkle with professional teeth whitening.

In this article, we’ll answer your questions about teeth whitening and leave you ready to truly celebrate a white Christmas.

Teeth whitening – is it worth it?

Patients frequently wonder if they can justify investing in what is essentially seen as a purely cosmetic treatment. The answer is that if you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth and find yourself doing anything to avoid showing them, investing in a professional teeth whitening treatment could do far more than simply enhance your appearance – it is also proven to leave you feeling much more happy and confident, and others will quickly see this. Restoring the natural beauty of your smile can also help to roll back the years and leave you looking younger.

I’ve tried to do it myself – why doesn’t it work?

We frequently hear stories of people who have purchased DIY teeth whitening kits online and been completely dissatisfied with the results. Although they do not cost as much as a professional treatment, people often feel that they have wasted their money and are left unhappy and out of pocket.

So why don’t these DIY kits work? Due to UK laws, those kits which are legally (and sometimes illegally) available online or on the high street contain a very small amount of the active ingredients that tackle stains, often only enough to have a small effect on superficial surface stains. This is often not enough to make a significant change to your appearance.

What do dentists recommend?
