Teeth whitening is a popular dental procedure that is recommended for both young
and old people. There are many ways to whiten the teeth and each will be
recommended on different teeth types. Here is what you should know when going
for a teeth whitening procedure.
Cost
How much are you willing to pay at your dentist to get your teeth whitened? Some
teeth whitening procedures can cost as low as $10 while others can fetch a
whopping $700 a session. A professional dentist can help you choose which teeth
whitening method is best for you based on your teeth profile.
Safety
Some teeth whitening regimes use strong chemicals that can be harmful in the
wrong hands. It is safer to have the procedure done in a dental clinic where the
environment is more controlled and the dentist on call is experienced. On the
other hand, if you do wish to buy over-the-counter whitening products, ensure
you read the ingredient label carefully. A dentist can help you decide which
product to buy over-the-counter once they evaluate your teeth.
