Safe Ways to Whiten Your Teeth?

Having a bright, white smile is something many students desire. Unfortunately, there are many unsafe and ineffective ways to whiten your teeth, such as using bleach or other harmful chemicals. In this blog post, we will explore how to safely and effectively whiten our teeth.

The only safe and effective way to whiten your teeth is to visit a dentist for professional teeth whitening. They use special tools and safe, professional-grade whitening agents to whiten your teeth. The dentist can also advise on whether this is a safe option for your teeth.

The first stage of Professional whitening involves seeing a Dentist, who will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and determine whether you are eligible for whitening (most people are).

If you are deemed suitable by the Dentist, your Dentist will take a 3D scan of your teeth to create custom fitting whitening trays. These trays are designed to fit perfectly over your teeth and ensure even distribution of the whitening gel.

Your dentist will provide you with a prescription-strength whitening gel to use with your custom-made trays. The gel is placed inside the trays, which are then worn for a specified amount of time each day. The amount of time you wear the trays will depend on the strength of the gel and your individual needs. Your Dentist will provide a customised plan for you

Throughout the treatment process, your dentist will monitor your progress to ensure that you are achieving the desired results. Depending on the strength of the gel and the initial colour of your teeth, the treatment can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Typically, professional home whitening treatments can be quite expensive when obtained from traditional dental clinics. This can be especially prohibitive for students, who may not have the financial means to cover the high costs of such treatments. However, with the advent of socially positive initiatives like OnCampus Dental, students now have the opportunity to access Professional whitening treatments at an inclusive price point. By making these treatments more accessible, OnCampus Dental hopes to help more students achieve the bright, confident smiles they desire without resorting to dangerous unregulated options or tiktok 'hacks' that are damaging to teeth.
