Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening has gained in popularity over the last ten years and can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colouring of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. Teeth can be stained on the surface through tea, coffee and red wine and some people have discoloured teeth due to taking certain antibiotics.

There are many over the counter treatments to whiten the teeth but many of these sold in the UK do not contain enough of the active ingredient to whiten the teeth effectively. You should always consult your dentist when considering tooth whitening as this can be a complicated procedure and your dentist will be able to advise on the suitability of this treatment for you.
