Teeth whitening can be one of the simplest, safest and most cost effective ways to improve your appearance without the need for surgery – IF DONE PROPERLY!
There is growing consumer demand for having a whiter, brighter smile, which has led to many companies promoting simple and cheap teeth whitening that you can buy on the internet.

At best these non-dental teeth whitening products could remove superficial staining from your teeth, due to ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, which is historically know to be in smokers toothpastes. At worst, these products could cause permanent damage of the teeth, by wearing away the enamel from products such as acids within the ingredients.
