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.
Why do people grind their teeth?
In this video, Maggie explains some of the most common reasons people grind their teeth, particularly during sleep.
Grinding can be linked to things like stress, the alignment of your teeth or certain sleep issues. Over time it can lead to problems such as worn enamel, jaw pain and headaches.
If tooth grinding is causing problems, a custom dental guard may sometimes be recommended to help protect your teeth while you sleep.
Watch Maggie explain what to look out for and when it may be worth getting things checked.

Clenching, headaches, pain when chewing… these can all be signs of TMJ problems.
In this video, Yasmin explains some of the common symptoms people experience and how treatments using neurotoxins can help relax the muscles around the jaw.
For some patients, this can reduce tension, relieve discomfort and improve day-to-day symptoms.
If you’ve been experiencing jaw pain or tension, it may be worth having a conversation about your options.

🪥 Smile hack: timing your tooth brushing
Did you know that brushing your teeth straight after eating isn’t always the best idea?
In this quick video, Maggie explains why it’s better to wait a little while before brushing. After eating, especially acidic foods and drinks, the enamel on your teeth can be temporarily softened. Brushing too soon can actually cause more wear.
Waiting around 30 minutes gives your saliva time to neutralise the acids and protect your teeth.
Watch Maggie’s smile hack to learn the simple change that can help keep your teeth healthier.

What exactly is a dental crown?
In this video, Carol explains how crowns help restore and protect teeth that have been weakened by cracks, root canal treatment or large fillings.
A crown acts like a protective cap, binding the tooth together and giving it the strength it needs for everyday biting and chewing.
Watch the video to learn when a crown may be recommended and how it helps protect your smile.

Did you know that chewing sugar free gum after eating can actually help protect your teeth? 🍬➡️🦷
In this video, Carol explains why dentists often recommend sugar free gum after meals. Chewing gum stimulates saliva, which helps wash away food particles and neutralise acids that can lead to tooth decay.
It’s not a replacement for brushing, but it can be a helpful extra habit when you’re out and about and can’t brush your teeth straight away.
