For the most part, teeth whitening is safe—as long as it’s done correctly. What most people don’t realize before having their teeth whitened is this: because you’re dealing with live tissue (unlike hair or nails), teeth whitening can cause damage, pain, and sensitivity. The safest way to use a whitening agent like peroxide is to have a custom tray created by your dentist, then use gel refills to freshen your tooth color every 24-48 months. I’ll cover these in detail below, but there are several methods of teeth whitening I do not recommend because of safety concerns.

White teeths guide. Do you need to have healthy teeth and gums? Here are several tips: Baking Soda & Lemon: Mix a tablespoon of toothpaste, a pinch of salt, a bit of baking soda, and 4-5 drops of lemon juice in a bowl. Brush your teeth with this mixture for 4-5 minutes. You’ll see the difference after just one use. Use this method every other week. Tooth-whitening strips will help get rid of tooth stains. These strips are very thin, virtually invisible, and are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. You wear them a few minutes daily for a week or more. Results are visible in just a few days, and last at least a year. The results with strips are not as dramatic as with whitening kits, but the strips are easy to use and pretty much foolproof.

Your lips will not only appear more attractive, they’ll also feel healthier, softer and more hydrated. You may not be happy with the natural size and shape of your lips or the fact that the ageing process has caused them to become thin and lack definition. Lip enhancement treatments are a safe and natural way to create lips that make you feel beautiful and can combat fine smokers’ lines, issues including lack of volume, wrinkles, smile lines, cupid’s bows, lowered corners and oral commissures. Lip treatments can also dramatise the impact of lipstick and minimise ‘lipstick bleed’ which sometimes occurs at the lip border. At The Smile Practice, we are your trusted aestheticians, offering you the best lip filler treatments in Oxford & Didcot. Read extra details on dermal fillers Didcot and Oxford.
