1/3 of all cosmetic dental procedures carried out involved tooth whitening* Mintel 2006

Everyone wants whiter teeth but at present in the UK there is confusion. Dentists are unsure if it is legal to provide this service and confused about which products and at what concentrations they can safely and predictably be used. There is also confusion as to which members of the dental team can provide tooth whitening.

This confusion has led some patients to seek whiter teeth from alternative sources such as beauty therapists. A correct diagnosis of the cause of the discolouration is necessary in order to correct it. A complete clinical examination by a trained dentist will help this diagnosis and lead to a long-lasting healthy smile.

The British Dental Bleaching Society provides training and is the only UK body to offer certification of tooth whitening procedures to all members of the dental team. The dental team can gain the required level of clinical and academic knowledge and skill necessary to provide safe and predictable results.

The BDBS are taking further action to help gain clarity for dentists so they can appropriately provide tooth whitening for their patients. Only a member of the dental team can get your teeth to their maximum whiteness safely and predictably.

You are one click away from a whiter smile.
