Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic treatments, and it comes with plenty of myths. Here are the facts if you are considering teeth whitening in Greater Noida.

Myth: whitening damages your teeth

When it is done by a dentist after a check-up, whitening is considered safe for most healthy adults. Some people feel temporary sensitivity, which usually settles quickly. Problems arise mostly from overuse of unsupervised home remedies, especially abrasive or acidic ones such as lemon juice or baking soda scrubs.

Myth: whitening lasts forever

The results last as long as your habits allow. Tea, coffee, cola, paan and tobacco gradually stain teeth again. Regular cleaning and cutting back on stain-causing items helps the shade last longer.

Fact: cleaning comes first

A professional scale and polish removes plaque, tartar and surface stain, and often brightens teeth on its own. See our teeth cleaning in Greater Noida page for details.

Fact: fillings and crowns do not whiten

Whitening affects natural tooth only. If you have visible fillings, crowns or veneers, tell your dentist first so that the order of treatment can be planned.

Fact: not everyone is a candidate

Untreated cavities, gum disease and very sensitive teeth need attention first. Whitening is also not advised for young children. To find out whether you are suitable, visit our teeth whitening page or call +91-9971261414.
