Is It Safe to Whiten Your Teeth? And if So, What Works?
Yellowed teeth are one of the leading causes of diminished self-esteem, yet the main factors that cause tooth staining are difficult to avoid. Among these factors are coffee, wine, soda, etc., which contain pigments easily absorbed by the enamel. Over time, the enamel changes its shade from natural white to yellow, dark, or brown, marring your entire smile.
The Hope Dental Care Centre in Kanata, Ontario, offers Zoom! Teeth whitening to erase unattractive stains for a stunning, radiant smile. Unfortunately, with many teeth whitening options, finding the best treatment for you can be complicated. Here is what you need to know about teeth whitening.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening removes stains from teeth to restore your smile’s brilliance without damaging the enamel. The procedure improves the appearance of your smile while boosting your confidence.
Despite its benefits, it’s essential to understand its risks and side effects. Consulting with a professional dentist before the procedure is advisable for safe and effective results.Â

Is teeth whitening safe?
It depends! Whitening teeth at a dentist is generally safe because we use medical-grade products and supervise your entire treatment. Moreover, the dentist examines your teeth and oral health before your procedure to optimize your safety.
Unfortunately, teeth whitening can yield disastrous results when left in the hands of an amateur. When people use store-bought products, they may be tempted to overuse the products to get the desired results. Unfortunately, leaving the bleaching agent on the teeth for too long can damage your enamel and other oral structures.Â
