Dental patients who long for a whiter smile have been reminded they should head to a professional if they want to have work on their teeth.
Professor Robin Seymour, a leading periodontologist and advisor to Dentyl Active, the leading alcohol free mouthwash you can see working, stated people can ask for a "mock-up" of what their smile will look like after the work is done.
In information that could be included in dental marketing campaigns, the specialist noted patients ought to make sure their dentist is experienced with this type of procedure.
"It is unlikely that cosmetic dentistry would be available under NHS regulations, so before making a commitment for the treatment ask yourself if this is value for money," said Professor Seymour.
Dr Tim Bradstock-Smith, founder of the London Smile Clinic (www.londonsmile.co.uk), recently claimed most people considering cosmetic dentistry treatments want to achieve a natural smile.
