It’s
the holiday season which means lots of parties and photos and you want your
teeth to look their best. Unfortunately, everyday living can dim our smiles.
Food, coffee, some juices, and soft drinks can stain your teeth. Poor brushing
and flossing can also leave tooth stains. Injuries to teeth or gums can cause
some yellowing as well, and in some cases, medicines can discolor teeth.
So, you
may need some extra help to maintain or restore your teeth's natural beauty.
Here are some of the best ways to whiten your teeth:
1.
Reduce additional staining by drinking with a straw or cutting back on coffee
and soft drinks.
2.
Brush and floss every day.
3. Try
a whitening toothpaste or mouthwash.
4.
Visit our office for teeth cleaning and an exam every six months.
We can
also help you whiten your teeth with in-office professional teeth whitening at
our Cedarhurst office. These whitening products are much more effective than
whiteners you can buy at the store and are completely safe. Since they're
stronger, application by a member of our team is essential to achieve the best
results.
Some
teeth can resist bleaching. If that's the case, we can try several techniques:
·
Deep bleaching that applies whitening agents over several
visits.
·
Veneers and bonds that cover existing stains with a whiter,
brighter surface.
·
Laser whitening that uses light to clean stubborn stains off
teeth.
Take
Care!
You may
come across “bleaching stations” in shopping malls or at fairs. Avoid using
these as the so-called whitening techniques can irritate your teeth and gums,
leaving them highly sensitive to pain. Note too, that the operators of these
whitening stands will make customers apply the bleach themselves, to avoid
charges of practicing without a license. That should serve as a red flag and a
caution to seek trained professionals, like Dr. Alina Bergan, instead.
