whiter teeth

Teeth whitening isn't just for Americans… it seems the whole planet wants white teeth.

Well, that just got easier for UK travelers, who can now get tooth whitening at the airport. Yes, the airport.

Passengers can make appointments at the Manchester and Birmingham airports for a 20-minute laser teeth whitening session before their flight departs. Patients can book online ahead of time, or even drop in for whitening at one of the 5-chair clinics.

The teeth bleaching program, launched under the name of "Smile Company," is an offshoot of Brighter White Teeth Company, and uses a tooth whitening process developed in the US.

And of course, while patients get rid of their yellow teeth at the airport, they're also welcome to pick up at-home teeth whitener products…

"Coffee, anyone? Peanuts? Teeth whiteners?"

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.
