Subject: Presentation of Research Report on An Analysis of the Benefits and Drawbacks to Teeth Whitening And Methods of Whitening Teeth
I am pleased to give you my research report you requested on an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks to teeth whitening and methods of whitening teeth. Researching this topic has been interesting, especially the feedback I acquired through a survey I administered to several of my family and friends on Facebook. The findings of this report will be helpful in educating the girls involved in the Miss Utah pageant to realize the effects that teeth bleaching.
I had several friends and family respond to my survey. Nearly all of them have used whitening procedures, and received pain or sensitivity when using them. The findings show that although the appearance of white teeth is beneficial, the affects can painful.
While doing my research, I found several articles written within the last three years, especially since at-home treatments have become more advanced and available to the public. I found articles with good information on the considerations to teeth whitening, and the different kind of products that are used.
Based on this report, people who use whitening procedures, should take extreme caution when using the products. I appreciate the opportunity to prepare this report for you. Please check with me if you have any questions.
