Should I Go to a Teeth Whitening Salon or a Dentist? Safety Should Be Your Top Priority

No matter how often you may be brushing, flossing, and avoiding foods that are bad for your teeth, your teeth may still not be as white as you wish they were. So, what do you do? Well, you can go to a teeth whitening salon, but you will run into a few risks with that option. After all, how much expertise in dental care would someone at a teeth whitening salon have compared to a dentist? I think it's safe to say not as much. And, as the cliche goes, you are stuck with your teeth for the rest of your life - you will probably want to go with the safest option. For your desire to have whiter teeth, consult with your dentist to see what option makes the most sense for you. To have whiter teeth, there are many reasons why you should trust your dentist.

Safety Protocols

When you visit Dr. Liberman and her team at Great Neck Family Dentist, you can rest assured that she and her team are attentive to all of the latest safety protocols. Safety is Dr. Liberman's top priority - and it should also be yours! Each smile and mouth are different from the next, and with that, other safety protocols will have to be adhered to. Without the proper expertise, like at a teeth whitening salon, attention to detail may be overlooked, and your teeth may suffer as a result.

Proper Expertise

You want an expert when you are having a dental procedure done - even one as non-invasive as a teeth-whitening. You want someone who has taken the necessary exams, the courses, and most importantly, has the necessary experience. As we know, each one of us has different mouths with different needs and accommodations. If you go to a teeth-whitening salon, they may overlook some challenges or issues in your mouth that might ask for an additional procedure to be done. On the other hand, if you go to a dentist, they will easily spot any issues and give you the proper treatment. Would you really trust anyone else other than a dentist to work in your mouth?

We understand the challenges that come with wanting whiter teeth and a brighter smile. It may be easier or more convenient to run to a teeth-whitening salon, but your teeth and mouth are vital to your overall health. You do not want to have someone do a procedure on your teeth who is not a trained, experienced, or properly licensed professional.
