Anyone can have Teeth Whitening
Many of our patients say that their number one concern is whiter teeth. Tooth whitening is not only completed for cosmetic reasons. You may be interested in teeth whitening to reduce the look of discoloration related to medication. Prescription medications such as Tetracycline can discolor teeth if it was prescribed at a younger age when your adult teeth were still developing.
You may opt for tooth whitening to reduce the look of Fluorosis, which is when you have had too much Fluoride treatment as your teeth were developing. This condition leaves white or yellow lines on your teeth that can be reduced by tooth whitening. What is excellent about teeth whitening is that it is a non-invasive treatment that can be done quickly and efficiently in our office.
The Life Expectancy of Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is not a permanent solution. Most likely you will need to undergo regular teeth whitening sessions to maintain the look and results of your treatments. If you continue to engage in specific activities after having your teeth whitened, you are more likely to increase the frequency of additional whitening treatments. Habits that could increase the need for tooth whitening treatments include smoking, drinking coffee or tea, as well as red wine and colas. If you eat highly concentrated citrus or heavily colored foods (especially darker berries) you may also see the need to whiten more often.
At Home Versus Professional Teeth Whitening
Working with Cherrydale Family Dental to whiten your teeth is the ideal approach. While retail teeth whitening solutions do provide improvements in the levels of discoloration or stains that appear on your teeth, having us perform the teeth whitening treatment is the most efficient way to achieve desirable results. If teeth whitened at home is your goal, we will offer an at-home kit that can be purchased and used under our supervision. Working with us to have teeth whitening will provide a great deal of comfort if you are concerned with tooth sensitivity or side effects. The bleaching concentration is considerably higher in professional applications resulting in much quicker results. Retail kits can take weeks, whereas teeth whitening at Cherrydale Family Dental can be accomplished with just one visit.
The Aftercare Following Teeth Whitening
Following a teeth whitening treatment At Cherrydale Family Dental, you may experience some tooth sensitivity. We will recommend that you reduce your intake of acidic products like coffee, tea, red wine, and citrus, tomatoes, and berries for a few days. It is advisable to continue the reduction of the consumption of these beverages and foods in your future because they wear away the tooth enamel, which will not only minimize the results of the teeth whitening treatment but also accelerate the wear on the tooth.
Proper daily brushing and flossing must always be continued, and regular, consistent dental visits are essential to maintain the success of the tooth whitening procedure as well as preventative care of your teeth and gums.
