David Domey, a senior dental technician with the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in the Western region has advised Ghanaians to visit a dentist to examine their teeth other than using some chemical concoctions to whiten their teeth.
According to Dr. Domey, Ghanaians to rather seek professional dental care in order not to expose their teeth to harsher sensitivity.
He told Empire FM โteeth whitening is something that when you do you are bleaching your teeth, itโs like you are beaching your skin. When you use that product, you donโt know where that product is coming from.โ
โSo, Iโll advise you to visit your dentist because already, food that you are eating contains a lot of acids and that acid may have already given you teeth sensitivity. So, when you bleach your teeth you are going to expose your teeth to sensitivity and maybe it could be permanent and cannot be treated anymore.โ
He went on to urge โso, visit a dentist to examine your teeth to see how sensitive it is before doing that procedure.โ
โYou donโt know the content they are using to prepare that chemical. Either your dentist will use the scaling and polishing method without doing teeth whitening. He will scale the debris of the calculus under your teeth.โ He stated.
