Whiter teeth ‘alternative to surgery’
Teeth whitening treatments can rejuvenate the face and is a simpler, cheaper alternative to cosmetic surgery, it has been claimed.
According to The White Teeth Company, not only do people associate white teeth with youth, a bright smile can distract attention from the signs of ageing such as laughter lines.
"You can spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery or you can get a brighter smile," the company states. "Which teeth whitening procedure would your chequebook appreciate?"
The firm explains that as time goes by, teeth absorb colours and stains from food and drinks and therefore as people get older, their teeth lose their brightness.
With laser tooth whitening, a special light is combined with a bleaching gel to break down the stains on the enamel of the teeth.
Whiter teeth can not only make people appear younger but also restore their confidence in their looks, the firm claims.
Beaten only by Botox, teeth whitening is the favourite non-surgical enhancement in January, reports the Daily Mail.
