Professional whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals in the UK. Always verify that any clinic offering whitening treatment is registered with the General Dental Council before proceeding.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
A brief 'white diet' — skipping strongly coloured food and drink for two days — protects the fresh result. Long-term, good hygiene and an occasional top-up every 12–18 months keep teeth bright.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Colour is tracked on the VITA scale — A1 at the light end through to C4 at the dark. Untreated teeth usually fall around A2–B3 in Calfsound patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
Not all teeth respond equally. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline or fluorosis whitens poorly, yellow tones respond best, and grey tones least. Crowns, veneers and fillings don't change colour at all, which can create mismatches to plan around.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults in good dental health are good candidates. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, under 18, or with severe gum disease or untreated decay — and intrinsic staining from antibiotics or fluorosis responds poorly, worth discussing with a dentist first.
Why is it illegal for beauty salons to whiten teeth?
UK law restricts whitening to registered dental professionals because it needs clinical assessment and regulated peroxide levels. A salon offering it is acting illegally, and skipping a proper dental check first carries real risk to teeth and gums.
