Too much whitening could turn your teeth to mush!

That was the eye-catching headline, which appeared in daily newspapers recently and it confirms what we at Carisbrook Dental have been warning about for a long time. If you want to improve the whiteness of your teeth and your smile … speak to your dentist.Alternatively take a look at Teeth Whitening Manchester for expert, up-to-the-minute advice.A leading Los Angeles based cosmetic dentist, Laurence Rifkin, has stated that over-bleaching is an all too common practice; one that causes severe and permanent damage by stripping tooth enamel and causing gums to recede. As Mr Rifkin emphasized: “Once the enamel has been chemically eroded away, then it is gone. It’s gone forever!”There are other important reasons why you should only trust your dentist to whiten your teeth. One is that cheap over the counter teeth whitening kits can be potentially dangerous. Another is that recent legislation has made it illegal for anyone other than a qualified dentist to administer teeth whitening treatment.At Carisbrook Dental all our dentists are highly qualified and are fully experienced in the latest teeth whitening treatments.
