Home bleaching.
In recent years the bleaching of teeth has become very popular. Bleaching regimes are based on the liberation of hydrogen peroxide at the tooth surface. The use of the bleaching products available in the UK as prescribed by a general dental practitioner appears to be valuable in the treatment of discoloured teeth if supervised by the practitioner, although a number of products have been released directly to patients. There is concern that these products are bought and used by patients without any professional supervision.
