Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. It is quick and easy to perform and can completely transform your smile making you look younger. Professional teeth whitening can not only remove surface stains that form on teeth, but can also penetrate enamel and whiten deep stains.

Your dentist will be able to tailor the treatment to achieve the result you want, whether you're looking for something subtle or more visible. Although there are many whitening products that do not require a prescription, we advise you to visit your dentist to get an assured and safe result. For example, products sold commercially may have the active ingredients in such low quantities that they will not be able to make any difference. Also, there may be some reasons why whitening treatment is not suitable for you, which only a dentist can determine.

Do you suffer from sensitive teeth but wish to have a whiter smile? Anyone who has experienced this sensitivity knows how painful it can be when you feel that jolt of pain travel through the tooth. Usually this happens right after eating something hot or cold. You cannot, however, allow the pain and sensitivity to stop you from a teeth whitening treatment. There is a way to whiten your teeth painlessly by following these simple tips:

Before whitening your teeth, you should make sure that you have enough calcium, vitamin D and magnesium in your body. You can start taking a vitamin about a month before the procedure.

Set realistic goals and consider the needs of your teeth. Consult your dentist about whether whitening treatment is right for you or if you need to choose an alternative treatment to beautify your smile, such as dental veneers.

It is very likely that after the whitening procedure you will experience increased sensitivity and pain in your teeth for up to 48 hours .
