Toothpastes & Mouthwashes
- Whitening Toothpastes & Mouthwashes are great.
- They freshen your patient’s breath, they remove mild surface stains, they’re not likely to cause sensitivity and…. they are unlikely to improve the shade of your patients’ teeth by two shades.
- Why? Because legally these products can only contain or release less than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide.
Charcoal Products
- Increasingly popular, charcoal-based products can do more harm than good.
- According to a review by the British Dental Journal, Charcoal-based toothpastes often contain no fluoride to protect the teeth; and could increase the risk of tooth decay and staining.
- Often seen as a ‘quick fix’ solution for white teeth, these products can lead patients to brush excessively; leading to tooth wear and sensitivity issues later down the line.
Whitening from an Unlicensed Supplier
- Very loosely categorised as an alternative, obtaining a whitening treatment from anyone other than someone licenced to do so is simply reckless.
- When purchasing from an unlicensed supplier, patients have no way of knowing either the efficacy or the safety of their whitening treatment.
- Highlighting the dangers of this, a recent case saw a young mother who used illegal tooth whitening; experience intense pain, sensitivity and even the potential loss of her teeth.
It is this NOVON® compound that enables White Dental Beauty to assist particularly sensitivity patients with their revolutionary 5% Carbamide Peroxide formulation.
Although the gel contains lower levels of peroxide, it can achieve the same results as a standard 10% Carbamide Peroxide gel. This means teeth are less exposed to the sensitivity issues higher concentrations can cause[2] and means patients with sensitive teeth can whiten their teeth comfortably.
For your patients comfort, all gels contain the desensitisers Potassium Nitrate and Fluoride, in addition to carrying a high-water content to prevent tooth dehydration (which is believed to further help with sensitivity); providing consistent, reliable results.
