Teeth whitening or bleaching is a popular choice to brighten your smile and which should be done by a dental professional. Tooth whitening utilizes a variety of chemicals which when applied correctly results in the reorganisation on the proteins within your dentine layer to obtain a longer lasting whitening effect. The large variety of over the counter whitening agents available at pharmacies and supermarkets work primarily on the enamel layer of the tooth and reverts to the previous colour within a short time.
