Genetics is another factor that can affect the color of the teeth.

The teeth whitening technique is the most effective way to remove stains through the use of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

The duration of the whitening depends on the care and consumption of each person. Usually, it should last for 3 years.

Legally, this method must be carried out by a dentist, especially in the United Kingdom and EU.

In the United Kingdom, teeth whitening products only contain 0.1% hydrogen peroxide, which is very little.

This technique does not eliminate deep stains.

People can keep their teeth white, avoiding foods that usually stain teeth.

Teeth Whitening Tips

Avoid buying products abroad

People should always consult a dental specialist before buying products, especially online. It is difficult to know if these companies regulate the products and comply with the standards of the law.

Contact the dentist

Dentists are certified specialists who have the best information and credibility about dental techniques and products used. They usually use 6% of hydrogen peroxide, which is much more effective than any product you can buy.

Comply with the law

Teeth whitening is a sensitive method which, if not carried out correctly, can cause permanent damage to your teeth. Therefore, people should only go to dental specialists and avoid any esthetician since they usually break the law.
