Remember! Less Is More When Whitening Your Teeth

Remember! Less Is More When Whitening Your Teeth

Teeth whitening is a terrific way to improve the appearance of your smile with relatively little effort. But be sure to keep in mind that less is more when it comes to teeth whitening!


When someone over-whitens their teeth the result quite jarring.  Blindingly white teeth are not attractive, and can actually look unnatural and weird in person.

Except for those who have a career in television, or modelling, it’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to whitening. If you over-do it when whitening your teeth you run the risk of having the opposite of the intended effect: it could make your smile less attractive.

Not only that, over-whitening your teeth can lead to dental health problems too. If overused the whitening solution could soften your enamel, making your teeth feel extra sensitive, and in extreme cases, it could even cause your teeth to become a strange blue-grey colour.

That said, teeth whitening is actually very safe.  It takes a lot to over-whiten your teeth to the extent that you end up with oral health problems.

When whitening your teeth be sure to exercise caution. If you’re unsure about how frequently you should whiten your teeth, or when they’re white enough, visit your Surrey dentist at ProActive Dental Studio for a consultation!
