In the UK we are known for our reserved nature and when it comes to teeth whitening will we become as vein as our cousins in the USA? Lets look at the facts.

Teeth whitening has been going a lot longer in the USA compared to the UK so it is still fairly new but the word is spreading and this is helping the rapid growth.

In the USA they are really dedicated not only to teeth whitening but overall general dental health and will see their dentist regularly to ensure their teeth and gums in the best shape. This is drummed in to children very young in the USA whereas in the UK children’s dental health is relatively poor so as they grow in to adults it plays a lower part in their everyday focus.

Also in the UK dentists are not always our best friend and certainly not on our Christmas card lists! This is because many of the old school dentists in the UK had a fierce reputation and did not put enough emphasis in to their people skills and remember your patient is also your customer. As a result people do not see their dentist as much as they should and in turn they only go to see their dentist when they have a problem.

Having good dental health and whiter teeth are linked and this is why the Americans are really quite obsessive about whitening because they really care about their teeth and until that changes in the UK it is unlikely that teeth whitening will become as popular.

All that said for some people they put having white teeth in front of having regular dental appointments as they believe the looks are more important but these people are rare. For example some smokers fall in to this category in the UK as the nicotine will change the colour of the teeth to a yellow or browning colour and therefore they want to remove this. Ask them the last time they saw their dentist and it will be a few years ago for some of these people.

One the systems really growing fast in the UK is the laser whitening method as this requires no effort and little discipline from the recipients points of view this is perfect and combined with instant results makes an ideal solution from removing the staining from the teeth.

The laser is applied to gently heat the gel which mixes with the oxygen to open the micro pores of the enamel to release the stains and this will make them white again. It also makes the teeth look shiny.

This is because once the debris and staining has been removed the light will shine more effectively off the teeth and this reflection also makes the teeth look more healthy as people look at your new smile.

If you are not sure what is best always seek the advice of your dentist and get their take on things.
