dentist in richmond virginia are teeth whitening kits safe
TRANSCRIPT
As with all commercially successful medical products, many people
question whether teeth whitening kits are safe.

* Have the national health authorities certified them as safe for human use?

* Do they do your teeth more harm than good, stripping away the tooth
enamel?

* Should they really be available to “uneducated” masses for home use or only used by licensed professionals?

The American Dental Association has approved a variety of professional
bleaching products that are applied in-office by dentists or are dispensed by
them for home-use.

They don’t endorse over-the-counter bleaching products because the prefer people to seek professional advice for
reasons of effectiveness and safety.

However they have approved certain over-the-counter teeth whitening
toothpastes.

Though you may want to look out for products with the ADA seal, remember
that just because a product does not have the seal, does not mean it is not
safe or effective.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
This is because the process of manufacturers getting a seal from the
ADA is voluntary.

With regards to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) certification,
teeth whiteners are not classified as drug so the FDA has no say in their
regulation.

1. Do your research before purchasing a teeth whitening product.

For example, look out for the ADA Seal of Acceptance; find out what other
people are saying about the product in consumer groups, product reviews,
testimonials etc.

Try to look for objective information from a number of unbiased sources,
instead of just the company’s marketing material.

2. Consult Your Dentist- this is really the first step that can save you a lot of
time and trouble in the long run.

Your dentist can recommend the best treatment plan based on your dental history and even create customized
solutions for you such as a made-to-fit mouth piece.

3. Go with Trusted Brands- if you are in your local store and really want to
purchase a teeth whitening product, stick to one from a trusted brand that has a long history in oral care and has
a wide range of oral care products.

You definitely don’t want to choose a product from a company no-one has
ever heard about.
