A celebrity dentist has confirmed the best way to whiten your teeth and debunked some dental myths. If you're looking for the perfect pearly whites, there are a few methods you're probably already aware of including LED kits and home whitening strips.
Is it safer to whiten your teeth at home or in a clinic? The dental expert said: "It is safe to whiten your teeth at home, so long as dental trays and gels have been provided by a dentist and not bought off the internet. The trays need to be custom-made by a dentist, by either digitally scanning or taking moulds of the teeth.
Are there any differences between at home vs professional treatments? She explained: "The cost of teeth whitening can vary from product to product, but professional in-house teeth whitening is the most expensive option, with the average being £250 to £600 depending on the treatment.
What are the best teeth whitening strips? She suggested: "Whitening Strips are definitely good, particularly if you want a boost just before an event. However, they are not ideal for long standing whitening and you need to be cautious about which ones you purchase and check that they are FDA approved here in the UK."
