The clinical effectiveness of different bleaching techniques

In response to increasing patient demands for a whiter smile more dental surgeries are investing in the equipment and materials to enable them to bleach teeth. With new bleaching systems constantly appearing in the market place it can be very difficult for practices to differentiate between each and select the best for their patients and business.

As a valued member of the dental team, dental nurses should have some knowledge of the techniques available and the clinical effectiveness of each. Not only will this allow them to advise practice managers who may be considering purchasing potentially expensive equipment, but will also allow them to educate patients and help them to make informed decisions about their care.
