Will there be any side effects if I do teeth whitening at home? Should I visit a dentist in Singapore for a teeth whitening consultation before I decide to proceed with the treatment? Yes, you must consult a dentist before making the treatment choices of whether you will do it at a clinic or do it at home. Many options are available over the internet, like whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, natural remedies at home, etc., but all the medications and treatments available don't suit everyone every time. Some of the home remedies may cause tooth sensitivity and irritate the gums. If you have implants, crowns or bridges, then you may not be able to use the whitening solution. Speak to our dentist at Kent Dental works to know the available options for you; visit our clinic to learn more about the dental services.
