What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a procedure that gives your teeth a lighter, whiter color. Most often, teeth whitening is performed at the dentist’s or hygienist’s office with advanced “Philips ZOOM” technology. It is also possible to whiten your teeth at home using dental mouthguards. During teeth whitening, the teeth are covered with a whitening agent, which is activated by the teeth whitening system. Teeth whitening at home is often recommended as additional aid after a professional whitening procedure to achieve the desired result.
Why you should regularly whiten your teeth
Our teeth tend to get darker with age, but many negative factors accelerate this process: poor oral hygiene, frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine or other staining foods. Smoking is particularly harmful to your teeth.
