Spring is the best to get some good air and smile your heart out. But wait, is your dull or stained teeth preventing you from doing that? (Zolpidem) If you are thinking of getting a bright, white smile for summer, then teeth whitening could be the right solution. American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry once asked people if there is something they would like to improve about their smile; what would that be? Almost all of them said get whiter teeth.

Common Teeth Whitening Options

There are many products out there in the market that claim to give you a white set of teeth. If you are confused about what to use, it would be better to consult your dentist to help you find the most suitable option out of the following:

• Whitening toothpaste
• Whitening strips and gels
• Tray-based tooth whiteners
• In-office whitening

Peeking on the Benefits of Dentist Supervision 

As discussed earlier, the numerous teeth whitening options may make it confusing for you to choose the right treatment. But here are some facts that you can look into.

If you are going to consider tray-based teeth whitening, then it would be better to go with in-office whitening. Our dentist will take your dental impression and customize the trays that fit your teeth perfectly. This will be under the supervision of a dentist, so it ensures maximum benefit for your teeth and protection for your gums from irritation using a rubber shield.

With the use of OTC or over-the-counter products, you can do the teeth whitening procedure in the comfort of your home. But if you choose in-office teeth whitening, we assure safety as well as efficacy in treating you according to the type and extent of stains on your teeth, considering your medical history with a promise of the desired smile.

Note For Parents Having Teenagers

It has become a trend among teenagers to try out teeth whitening products. But with overuse or failure of the products, they will end up doing more harm than good. They may affect the health of their tooth enamel or irritate gums which may affect their oral health in the long run. So remind them to get a consultation from the dentist before exploring the teeth whitening options.
