For some, a quick photo edit can whiten your teeth and give your smile a sparkle. But with teeth whitening, it is not just about looking good – it is about feeling good. With summer comes the long days of being outside with friends and family. Photos will be snapping left, right and centre. With teeth whitening, you will feel confident to flash that grin.
There are a range of factors that cause teeth to lose their whiteness: certain foods and drinks, smoking, poor oral hygiene, and ageing. Sometimes genetics play a role too. Physical qualities such as tooth colour play a big role in human social interaction. Teeth discolouration can lead to low self-esteem and unhappiness. Young people may also find it harder to smile freely due to feeling self-conscious.
The summer period is a great time to consider teeth whitening. It is a popular time for big social occasions: parties, weddings, family reunions and holidays. A pearly white smile can help you look and feel your best. Furthermore, it can help you feel more relaxed and confident in any situation.
Procedure possibility
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular dental procedures worldwide. It is also now very affordable. Visiting a dentist provides a safer, more effective and longer-lasting solution than at-home options for whitening. This is because at-home options may be sourced from manufacturers or locations outside the UK, where the products are less regulated and therefore could be harmful to the mouth.
Staining on your teeth could be intrinsic (inside your tooth enamel) or extrinsic (on the outside of your tooth). Dentists offer the best whitening service because they assess the type of discolouration on your teeth and tailor treatment accordingly. Professional teeth whitening can keep your smile bright for many months if you maintain with aftercare.
As a procedure, teeth whitening is the bleaching of the teeth to lighten the darker shades. This can be done in a few ways, including using a plastic whitening tray to regularly apply the bleaching gel. After receiving your customised tray from the dentist, this is mostly an at-home option.
Smiling releases endorphins and reduces stress. It makes you approachable and it makes you trustworthy. It boosts your immune system and it relieves pain. Sharing your smile can have the same effect on other people. Tooth whitening can give you that confidence to share it.
If you have any questions, our dentists are BACD members and can offer advice and guidance with teeth whitening.

50km… and counting! 🚲💪
Our Clinical Director, Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, has just completed her longest training ride yet — an incredible 50 kilometres — as she prepares for a life-changing charity cycle from the base of Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater in February 2026.
Carol is taking on this huge challenge to raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in Tanzania. The money raised will help run an outreach and training programme where eight Dental Therapists will be trained and around 2,000 people will receive essential dental treatment.
For someone who hasn’t been on a bike in years, months of training in all weathers is no small feat — and we couldn’t be more proud of her determination.
If you’d like to support Carol and help make a genuine difference to communities with little or no access to dental care, you can donate here:

Every donation, big or small, will have an immense impact.
Thank you for cheering her on! 💜
