Who doesn’t want to have their teeth whitened? Whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it’s an easy way to drastically improve your smile. But with the number of products and “home remedies” online, it can get overwhelming. Let’s separate myths from facts.

Myth #1: Whitening Destroys Your Enamel Science says: Whiteners are safe for enamel.

Fact: Professional whiteners are made to be safe when applied by dental professionals. It doesn’t damage tooth enamel and removes stains too.

Myth #2: Baking Soda or Lemon Juice Will Do the Same Thing Contrary to what many people believe, not only are these at-home remedies ineffective but they often leave behind even more damage.

FACT: These are too harsh on the skin. In fact, they can wear off enamel and even make teeth more yellow over time.

Myth #3: Whitening Lasts Forever

Fact: Whitening isn’t permanent. If you’re a coffee, tea or red wine drinker, smoke cigarettes or have any certain lifestyle habits that cause your teeth to stain then guess what the staining will come back. Maintenance is needed.

Myth #4: At Home, Over The Counter Kits Are Just As good as visiting a Dentist

TRUE: There are store-bought kits that may offer a little assistance and others that certainly won’t give you dramatic effects. Professional treatments are more potent and safer, and they’re personalized to your teeth.
