The benefits of a home tooth whitening kit from your dentist

In the quest for pearly white teeth, you may be wondering about home tooth whitening treatments and how they can brighten your smile. But with so many kits on the market, it’s difficult to know which one to go for.

When you buy a tooth whitening kit from the internet or the high street, you may be purchasing products that damage your teeth, wear away enamel or even worse, burn your skin.

There are many benefits to home teeth whitening — but the most effective and safe solution is to purchase a kit provided by your dentist.

1. Having whiter teeth can improve your self esteem

Over time, your teeth can become discoloured from food and drink and make you more self-conscious when you smile. Whitening your teeth can have a profound effect on your overall confidence, thanks to its ability to make you look younger and fresher. When you’re not worrying about your discoloured teeth, you’re more likely to relax and smile which can have a positive effect on your overall appearance and mood.

2. Home whitening kits are convenient

In today’s world, many of us don’t have the time to make umpteen trips to the dentist. Home whitening kits can offer a much more convenient solution that allow you to whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home, and even when you’re asleep.

3. Kits sold through your dentist are safer

While you may be able to buy very cheap home tooth whitening kits, choosing one that is sold through a dentist means that it has their seal of approval and that it’s less likely to damage your teeth.

4. You have access to custom made trays

When you get a home whitening kit through your dentist, you will get custom made trays that fit your teeth exactly. This means that you get even coverage across all your teeth and there’s less chance of doing damage to your surrounding tissues.

5. You have access to a specialist in tooth whitening

By getting your tooth whitening products from your dentist, you will have an expert on hand. They will be able to guide you in choosing the right shade and what kind of product would be best for the tooth stains that you have. Not only that, but you’ll be able to have your general oral health checked over at the same time, a real bonus for anyone that’s short of time.
