Cosmetic dentistry is a major player in the whitening of teeth.
Nowadays there are more people that are seeking to make their teeth whiter and more appealing.
To coincide with this great demand cosmetic dentistry has taken huge steps in making this achievable for everybody.
You are now able to purchase a wide variety of teeth whitening products from many local stores worldwide.
You must always check that the whitener is the right one for you and that it will not harm your teeth.
Tooth sensitivity is a big issue, but saying that many of the products profess to be suitable for all sensitivity types.
Another thing to check for is that you pick the right color for your teeth.
I know what you are thinking! The color is white but the shade may be slightly lighter or darker than you imagined.
Over the years your dentist will have taken great care in the shade of your crown or veneer on your teeth.
So this whitener really must match up with this color to look right.
At least if you had the cosmetic dentist to do this procedure for you then you would not have to worry about shade issues.
But I am not taking anything away from the home kits that you can buy.
These are still very effective but it may take longer for you to see any substantial change in your teeth shade.
Although the product is called teeth whitener it may not be as bright a white as you are expecting.
But if you are considering whitening your teeth then any shade change will look better than the one you are unhappy with.
Finally after getting your teeth whiter you will need to maintain this level of whiteness.
This could mean cutting down on tea or coffee as well as cutting down on smoking.
All these things can discolor your teeth so you may not want that to happen especially after you have just whitened them.
