Professional teeth whitening is superior to anything you can purchase on your own.
If you’re like most of us, you’ve seen teeth whitening products in your local drugstore and online. There are many possibilities, everything from strips to pastes, from kits to tablets. What they have in common is that none of them are prescription strength!
About Professional Teeth Whitening in Dedham, MA
Before you undergo professional teeth whitening with us, the dentist ensures that it is safe for your teeth and gums. Unfortunately, this is not true when you attempt whitening yourself.
If professional teeth whitening is right for you, we start by cleaning your teeth. This approach clears tartar from the enamel so our cleaning gels can better penetrate pores to lift away the stains.
We offer two whitening options: in-office teeth whitening and custom take-home kits. Your dentist can help you decide the best option for your smile goals.
Maintaining Your Teeth Whitening Results
Teeth discolor for various reasons, including specific medications and as a natural part of aging. But we can control some factors that lead to tooth discoloration.
Your dentist in Dedham, MA, recommends:
- Brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice each day
- Visiting our dental office every six months for teeth cleanings
- Reducing tooth-staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, wine, bright sauces)
- Rinsing your mouth immediately after indulging in tooth-staining foods or drinks
- Quitting tobacco in all forms (also lowers your risks for gum disease)
If you opted for our custom take-home teeth whitening kit, you should have enough gel left to touch up your smile periodically.
