Anyone hoping to get brighter teeth should visit a dental professional instead of continually relying on at-home teeth whitening kits.
This is the advice of New York-based orthodontist Dr Jacqueline Fulop Goodling, who told MyGloss.com that DIY kits can be useful when people are in a rush or for special occasions.
However, she pointed out that professional treatments are regulated and so safer, as well as being more high-quality.
"The results don't last as long as professional treatments and what we don't like to see is patients over-using them," she commented.
Instead, Dr Goodling recommended visiting a professional to get a proper teeth whitening session like those provided by Zoom.
Last month, an unnamed expert writing for The Paper magazine pointed out that dentists will have access to better teeth whitening solutions than those available over the counter, as well as being able to apply them more safely and effectively.
