Don’t fall for ‘White Lies’

Don't risk the dangers of illegal teeth whitening treatments!

We’ve warned about it before, but with warmer weather approaching more and more people will be striving to look their best. That, for many people, means arranging teeth whitening treatment to produce a gleaming summer smile – so we believe that now is the right time to pass on the warning once again. Trusting this procedure to an unlicensed, unqualified, unregistered and unaccountable person is not only illegal … it can be downright dangerous.Despite it being completely unlawful, there are still many beauty salons, hairdressers, nail bars and tanning salons etc, not to mention an army of ‘independents’ working from home, who offer so-called professional teeth whitening treatments.But let’s be clear about it, the law states that the only people legally allowed to provide teeth whitening treatments are qualified and registered dentists, dental hygienists and dental technicians. If any other person says that they are licensed to undertake these treatments… then they are lying!Teeth whitening is a highly skilled medical procedure and if it is not undertaken expertly and correctly then it can result in serious injury and lasting damage to gums, teeth, your mouth, throat and lips. Dental professionals have spent several years learning and training to understand the delicate implications of treating teeth, gums and the mouth. They are skilled in providing the most appropriate and medically correct techniquesto suit each and every patient and they know how to avoid any hazardous implications. What’s more professional and authorised dental staff are all fully insured against all possible risks.Additionally, illegal services, unlike dental professionals… will not be insured against teeth whitening disasters!We cannot stress strongly enough that undergoing teeth whitening treatment in these unlawful establishments is fraught with danger.At Carisbrook Dental we examine every patient’s teeth and get to know their diet and lifestyle, as well as their expectations and budget before we recommend the most appropriate treatment for them.We can provide three differenttreatments, all of which are ultra-safe, effective and which are proved to deliver excellent results.
