Why you might want to consider tooth whitening

Teeth whitening is a safe and popular way to brighten your smile. It can help reduce discoloration caused by food, drinks, smoking, certain medications and aging!

As we age, our teeth get darker and darker. But why does this happen?
The older we get, our enamel naturally gets thinner. Consequently, the next layer – called dentin – starts showing through. Dentin is more yellow compared to the white enamel layer.

Teeth whitening is a very non-invasive and simple way to make your smile look more youthful!

While some treatment options are available over the counter, if you are looking for an effective solution, it must be performed in a dental office.

Different types of professional teeth whitening products

• Chairside whitening systems: such as FLÄSH CHAIRSIDE WHITENING SYSTEM.
  – They provide up to eight shades of whitening in just one session.
  – This is a good option if you are looking for faster results and convenience.

• Take home whitening systems: such as OPALESCENCE TAKE HOME SYSTEM.
  – They operate through medical-grade custom trays.
  – They are designed for a gradual home use with results appearing over a couple of weeks when used in accordance with directions.
  – This is a good choice if you have sensitive teeth and you are looking for a more affordable option.

How to safely use teeth whitening products

When it comes to whitening your teeth, it is important not to take any risks. Consult your dental professional before using any teeth whitening products so they can advise you of the best option for you.

Dr. Roze Biohealth clinics count with experienced professionals knowledgeable in the different teeth whitening techniques. They will evaluate your enamel and the cause of the darkening, to make sure a teeth whitening treatment will work for you.

There are some conditions that can make your teeth appear darker, such as tooth necrosis, caries or tartar accumulation. Unfortunately teeth whitening won’t work for them, and they need urgent treatment – So always consult your dental professional before a teeth whitening treatment!

Tips for maintaining your bright smile

1. Having a bright and healthy smile can have a big impact on our confidence and self-esteem. Here are some tips for maintaining your pearly whites – well, white!
2. Visit your dentist and hygienist twice a year: Dental cleanings help remove plaque, tartar and stains from the teeth that ordinary brushing cannot eliminate. Dental check-ups can help prevent any issues that may discolor your teeth.
3. Brush and floss regularly: Brushing twice a day and flossing daily is essential for removing plaque and food particles from your teeth and gums.
4. Discuss the choice of toothpaste with your dentist to find the best option to maintain your whitening results. Some ingredients can be harmful and scratch your enamel, making it more prone to staining!
5. Limit food and drinks that stain: Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries can leave lasting stains on your teeth. Limiting or avoiding these can help preserve the brightness of your smile.
6. Rinse your mouth with water after drinking or eating and wait 30 – 45 minutes before brushing.
7. Use at-home whitening treatments: If your teeth become discolored over time, consider using an at-home whitening treatment recommended by your dentist.
8. Consider touch-up treatments: Touch-up treatments, such as in-office whitening, can help maintain your bright smile for years to come.

By following these tips and taking care of your oral health, you can maintain your bright smile for a lifetime.

Teeth whitening is a safe and simple way to improve your smile and confidence. But it’s important to always do it under the supervision of a dental professional in order to avoid any damage to your teeth or gums and achieve good and lasting results.
