Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure.But , it is surrounded with several myths .
One of the common misconception is that Teeth whitening damages Enamel ; however , professionally supervised whitening is considered safe when used as directed .
Another myth is that Whitening provides permanent results. In reality results are temporary and depends on diet , oral hygiene habits , other habits like smoking .
Some people also belives that over the counter products for whitening are safe and easy to go but , improper and excessive use can cause gum irritation and sensitivity , sometimes white spots.
Evidence based guidance from dental professionals ensures safe application , appropriate case selection and realistic expectations regarding outcomes and maintainance.
I am not a Dentist and honestly, even having a lot of colleagues and friends in that science, I have a hard time understanding the basic dental hygiene practices. What would you suggest be the timing for a dental whitening and is there any timeline for teeth whitening if one wants to do it with over the counter strips?
