But does&nbsp;teeth whitening&nbsp;work and&nbsp;is it safe? Here are the answers to common questions about&nbsp;the treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is teeth whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them lighter. It can&#8217;t make your teeth brilliant white, but it can lighten the existing colour by several shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can do teeth whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teeth whitening is a form of dentistry and should only be carried out by a dentist or another regulated dental professional, such as a dental hygienist or dental therapist, on the prescription of a dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some beauty salons offer teeth whitening, but this is illegal if there&#8217;s no dental professional present, and it may put your oral health at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also buy DIY home teeth whitening kits but these&nbsp;may also&nbsp;carry risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens during teeth whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have your teeth whitened you&#8217;ll&nbsp;first need to make 2 to 3 visits to the dental surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dentist will take an impression of your teeth to make a mouthguard and tell you how to use it with a bleaching gel. Then, using your mouthguard at home, you regularly apply&nbsp;the gel for&nbsp;a specified period of&nbsp;time over a few weeks. Some whitening gels can be left on for up to 8 hours at a time, which can shorten the treatment period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laser whitening, also known as power whitening, is another type of teeth whitening system that a dentist can provide. A bleaching product is painted onto your teeth and then a light or laser is shone on them to activate the whitening. Laser whitening takes about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can any dentist whiten teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any dentist can whiten teeth as long as they&#8217;re registered with the GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL Registered dental therapists and dental hygienists can also carry out teeth whitening on the prescription of a dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js-eu1.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n<script>\n  hbspt.forms.create({\n    portalId: \"144154835\",\n    formId: \"bef20462-63f8-4f25-97e8-427956139a2e\"\n  });\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more people are paying for brighter, whiter teeth.
