Find out about Teeth Whitening at Clock House Dental
It is very important to visit the dentist to be examined before any form of whitening is carried out. This ensures that it is justified and appropriate for each individual case. A quick consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic dentists gives you a professional opinion on what your options are but most importantly gives your dentist the ability to select the most appropriate type of whitening and concentration to avoid any complications.
Stain removal conducted by an experienced cosmetic dentist is very safe.
However we strongly advise patients to avoid attempting tooth whitening themselves by purchasing products over the internet or at salons trying to do a dentists job.
It is illegal for someone to offer and / or carry out whitening treatments unless they are working under the prescription of a GDC registered Dentist and is also trained, holds valid indemnity and has insurance. More information can be found here: Tooth whitening and illegal practice (gdc-uk.org)
