confidence and have you showing off your smile.

That being said, how do you know what teeth whitening products will give you the results you’re

wanting without causing any damage to your teeth? There are tons of whitening products and

treatments out there, so keep reading to learn how you can get a beautiful smile the safe way!

Have you ever been casually browsing social media and came across a post with a DIY recipe

for teeth whitening? DIY crafts are fun, but when it comes to teeth that can be permanently damaged it is best to stay away from it. Many formulations that can whiten teeth can cause permanent damage to the enamel, which cannot be regrown. Damage to your enamel can cause pain, sensitivity, and decay problems in the future. Dr. Malstrom from The University of Rochester Medical center advises anyone interested in whitening their teeth to stay away from these at home remedies and talk to their dentist instead.

Store-bought products are not necessarily a bad thing. However, they can cause sensitivity and

must be appropriately used to ensure the health of your teeth. We personally suggest using only

the products that you would typically use already that have whitening ingredients – like

toothpaste and mouthwash. Since both of these products are meant to be used every day, they

will have a lower concentration of whitening ingredients safe for every day, even twice a day

use. Crest Whitening strips and other store-bought whitening treatments can be effective. The only downside is their effects are gradual and limited. We suggest consulting your dentist before deciding to whiten your teeth to learn about which in store products are best for you.

Visiting your dentist is the best way to get the best results you want in a safe way. This will keep your teeth, gums, and jaw bone healthy.

According to Verywell Health, professional at-home teeth whitening kits and in-office treatments

often provide much better results than the store-bought brands that you will find in the dental aisle at a store. So next time you visit your dentist, be sure to ask about the whitening treatments they offer!
