A bright, white smile is something many people desire, but there’s a lot of misinformation surrounding teeth whitening. Let’s separate fact from fiction and explore safe, effective whitening options available at Deansgrange Dental Clinic.

Myth #1: Whitening Damages Your Teeth

🔍 Fact: Professional whitening treatments, when done correctly, do not harm your enamel. Overuse of over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products, however, can cause sensitivity or irritation.

Myth #2: Whitening Toothpaste Works Just as Well as Professional Treatment

🔍 Fact: Whitening toothpaste can help remove surface stains but doesn’t change the natural color of your teeth. For deeper whitening, professional treatments are much more effective.

Myth #3: You Can Whiten Crowns, Veneers, and Fillings

🔍 Fact: Whitening treatments only work on natural teeth. If you have restorations, talk to your dentist about options to match their colour to your natural teeth.
