Spa Teeth Whitening

Spa teeth whitening is the latest trend in teeth cosmetic surgery. Teeth whitening has become very popular as we see more and more celebrities with that perfect smile and some of us feel compelled to get those similar sparkling white teeth. With the growth of the public’s demand for teeth whitening procedures, spa teeth whitening offered in beauty salons has become highly popular

False Advertising

You will see many advertisements from spas and beauty salon claiming that spa teeth whitening is less costly as well as more effective than a professional whitening treatment by your dentist. The first statement is true : you will pay less at the spa than at your dentist. But the second argument referring to better results can only be obtained if you use higher concentrations of chemicals that bleach out the teeth than the one used by your dentist. Your dentist is using the highest levels of peroxide possible without harming the enamel of your teeth. Be cautious of any advertising that says they can do a better job than your dentist.

Your dentist is the only one who can tell you what kind of results you can expect with a treatment. He will evaluate your teeth and will be able to apply the right treatment for you to get the best results without compromising your safety. Excessive bleaching chemicals can be harmful not only to your teeth and mouth, but as well to your esophagus and your stomach. A spa teeth whitening procedure that claims to be more effective than a dentist treatment most probably employs an elevated concentration of chemicals compared to what a dentist uses.

Although you might find the results your are looking for at a teeth whitening spa, look out for your safety. The staff at a spa or beauty salon is of course not trained like your dentist. Ask about the levels of chemicals and peroxides they are using compared to a home product and a product used at your dentist.
