There seems to be a lot of debate out there about how to whiten your teeth.
Years ago there was only the option to go to the dentist to get your teeth whitened. But now there seems to be an explosion of new companies and products out there promising whiter teeth with the assistance of a dentist.
So what should you do?
Well you can get your own whitening kit but there are some important issues you should consider.
First, they don’t have the highest quality material for the home kits. Kits that you order online or get at the store dont’ typically have the same quality material that a dentist would give you. This is usually because of costs and the right ingredients are only available to dental professionals.
Second, you might do more harm than good to your teeth. If you aren’t supervised by a dental professional the products you are using could actually damage your teeth and leave you worse off than when you started. Plus by going to a dentist they can do professional cleaning and check for problems like cavities that you will be able to get fixed.
And third, many whitening kits (especially the ones offering trials) are somewhat of a scam. They sucker you in for a “free trial” and ask that you pay only a couple bucks for shipping. What they don’t make so clear is that after a week or so they will automatically start charging you 50-90 bucks for “refills” of the stuff they sent you. So this is another danger when getting kits from companies other than a dentist.
So if you want great whitening from a professional I suggest you contact a great Utah dentist.
