Tooth whitening

Age, diet and even some medications can cause teeth to stain, but tooth whitening is an affordable and effective way to combat these common causes of tooth discolouration.

Today, only dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists and clinical dental technicians working to the prescription of a registered dentist can legally perform tooth whitening. Some people with specific conditions will be at risk from any teeth whitening procedure so it is important you see an experienced dental professional who can determine any potential issues during your initial consultation and before treatment.

Please be especially aware of some beauticians, hairdressers and other non-clinicians who continue to offer tooth whitening. They are operating illegally, may be untrained and uninsured, will often offer no guarantee and can be using the wrong treatments in the wrong way causing serious and irreparable damage to teeth, gums and mouth.

What are the advantages of tooth whitening?

Tooth whitening at Helix House Orthodontics in Nottingham is a great and inexpensive way to remove stains from teeth, look healthy, have a great smile and be full of confidence.

Coffee, tea, spices and red wine can all stain teeth. Tobacco is also bad for the colour of your teeth. Some medications can cause teeth staining as well.

No. Today, only dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists and clinical dental technicians working to the prescription of a registered dentist can legally perform tooth whitening. Anyone else is almost certainly operating illegally, and may cause serious and irreparable damage to your teeth, gums and mouth.

Some people make the mistake of choosing tooth whitening by the lowest cost. We strongly recommend that, instead, you look at the value derived from the money spent. The quality of the product, the safety and confidence that comes with specialist clinical treatment, the reassurance of a guarantee and the inclusion of professional aftercare, should you need it, are all things to consider carefully. And remember, only dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists and clinical dental technicians working to the prescription of a registered dentist can legally perform tooth whitening. Anyone else is almost certainly operating illegally and may cause you harm.
