I asked my dentist about teeth whitening...?

And he said "I'm afraid it would not be a good idea as teeth whitening requires multiple visits for such a treatment, it may not even last for long and may damage the enamel." I'm 17 but I feel he may be saying this because he can't be arsed with the treatment, so I'm guessing he attempted to create some sort of story to get himself out of it. I'm a UK citizen and pay privately for my dentist seeing as the NHS is as good as public transport's reliability. My teeth aren't that white nor are they that yellow either. On a teeth whitening chart, they are probably about half way but these charts vary. I also currently wear braces (nearly time for them to come off) and I'm wondering if I could get them whitened after my braces come off? However, my orthodentist (who I am also paying privately) said my dentist is very conservative (my orthodentist and my dentist are both friends). Cheers. Arnold

You should because the braces turns ur teeth yellow so u can either get deep cleaning or whitening .
