Having a smile with white and bright teeth certainly helps us improve and make a person’s overall appearance more pleasant, improving our self-esteem in front of ourselves, as well as in front of others. A person’s smile and teeth are the first thing we look at when we communicate; it is our presentation card that contributes to the first impression that others form of us.
Regarding cosmetic products related to teeth whitening, the WHO has established that whitening treatment should be performed under the supervision of a dental professional for multiple reasons:
- Only in the dental office is an adequate diagnosis possible, a prerequisite for correct and effective whitening, because only clean and healthy teeth can be treated effectively, since plaque and tartar inhibit the effects of the whitening gel.
- Only in a dental office can you find whitening products whose safety and efficacy have been proven by years of use and multiple clinical studies; the different types of whitening are available only in a dental practice because each patient is different and needs a personalized treatment.
