Check out our services to sharpen up your smile!

Discolouration of the teeth is a natural process that occurs as we get older. Despite many tooth whitening toothpastes being available, the reality is that without a tooth whitening procedure, our teeth will get darker and turn a shade of yellow as we approach old age. Of course, we can speed up the discolouration process by smoking and other habits, but even without these, it will catch up with us eventually. So, what can be done about this if you live in Ashby, we hear you ask. Well, despite what many people think, there are facilities to have your teeth whitened if you live in or near to Ashby, and you don’t have to go to London or Birmingham to have the process done. Although based across the county border in Derbyshire, Alexandra dental care offer a wide range of dental services and have attracted a good number of clients from Ashby in recent years. As we are not far away, you may like to have a look around our website and see what we can offer you.

But back to having your teeth whitened; it is easy when we notice our teeth becoming discoloured to buy a tooth whitening toothpaste. This however, is unlikely to yield spectacular results. The reality is that because the product is sold on supermarket shelves, there is a limit to the amount of the whitening ingredient that can be included for safety reasons. Whilst this protects children from consuming large amounts of the ingredients as they are prone to do, it also prevents the toothpaste from being strong enough to make a large difference. There will of course be a small change but it certainly won’t be very significant.

Tooth whitening at home kits are also available; these offer a stronger solution, however there is a bit of a catch 22 situation here as although the stronger ingredients mean that the whitening effect will be more noticeable, because you administer this at home, the risk of getting the ingredients on your lips and gums are increased and this can lead to burning which is an unpleasant experience. For these reasons and the fact that a professional dentist can use the most effective strength whitening ingredient, more and more people are opting to have their teeth whitened professionally in Ashby. The procedure is relatively inexpensive and can be done in around one hour making it a very convenient procedure if you want to give your appearance a quick boost, perhaps for a wedding or job interview for example.
