Tooth whitening is the most popular cosmetic
dental treatment on the planet, but it can also be the most abused.
According to Gentle Touch Family Dentistry,
tooth whitening can lighten your teeth, but you need to be careful if you are
using over the counter products.
Gentle Touch Family Dentistry explains that
those pastes, gels, strips and mouth rinses that you buy at your local pharmacy
do not work as well as professional tooth whitening making it easy for people
to use too much or too often. There are horror stories out there including
transparent, sensitive, and even blue teeth.
Professional tooth whitening uses strong
whitening agents that are prescribed by your dentist. Used along with custom-made
bleaching trays, your teeth can be lightened from six to 10 shades.
Unlike over the counter teeth bleaching
trays, Gentle Touch Family Dentistry custom makes its whitening trays to fit
your teeth. Unfortunately, the over the counter trays are a one size fits all,
which could have dire consequences to your teeth and gums.
Because over the counter trays are not made
to fit your teeth, you could have leakage causing gum and tooth pain. With
professional tooth whitening trays from Gentle Touch Family Dentistry, you can
be assured that the whole process will be quicker and easier than those over
the counter bleaching products will.
When you schedule an appointment for tooth whitening with Gentle Touch Family Dentistry, your teeth and gums will be
checked to make sure that you are a good candidate for professional tooth
whitening. If you are given the all clear, your dentist will take a mold of
your teeth before sending it off to a dental lab.
Once your trays are ready, your dentist will
give you a prescription tooth whitening gel that you will use for 30 to 60
minutes once or twice a day depending on your Gentle Touches instructions. In
just a few weeks, you will have a beautiful new smile that you will be proud to
show off.
