Ruin Your Smile with Tooth Whitening Treaments!
The Frightening Truth about Whitening Your Teeth…
New research suggests store-bought tooth whitening treatments may actually be damaging consumers’ smiles. The Trading Standards Institute (TSI) examined 20 products available over the counter in the UK. Alarmingly, the study found that 18 of the 20 products contained higher levels of hydrogen peroxide than permitted by law. (In one case, the product contained 230 times the legal limit!)
Teeth whitening treatments are more popular now than ever before. Many dental practitioners are becoming concerned that over-eager consumers are doing permanent damage to their teeth through repeated bleaching and over-bleaching. This is why it’s a good idea for patients to talk to their dentists before delving into an ambitious tooth-bleaching program without supervision.
