A bright white smile is one of the most attractive attributes to a person’s being. It’s not just an attribute to your physical looks, but definitely improves ones all over health when looked after

as well as the hygiene of the overall health of one’s mouth.

 

There are so many products on the market:

  • Home whitening procedures available from pharmacies.
  • In chair whitening available at your dentist/hygienist.
  • Home treatments under supervision by oral hygienist and more.

 

The treatments at the medical professional’s rooms are definitely the one’s we should endorse,
as there are different factors that play a role in each and every patient.

  • Some of these are as follows:
  • Sensitivity of the teeth.
  • The role gum disease play in your health directly connecting to the severity of the teeth.
  • Regular cleaning to remove superficial staining etc.

 

Pertaining to these factors, your health professional will be able to do a screening of the overall health of the mouth and staining of the teeth. They do a professional treatment plan to maintain the whiteness (shade) of your teeth.

This will also help with the health of the gums and other problems like Halitosis. Costs of treatments and frequency
of appointments will be established. You will know exactly what could be expected health and pocket wise.

Yes maintenance after whitening is needed for sure. Girls will know that when you have sun streaks put in your hair, you need to touch up 6 to 8 weekly. The same with teeth whitening as it does not last forever. We have staining from coffee, tea, dark food pigments and smoking etc.

Regular cleaning and home maintenance play a great factor in having a white, bright smile. Visiting your Oral Hygienist 6 monthly for a cleaning and oral health screening also help to discover any other abnormalities in the mouth.

Be healthy and stay informed – visit your health professional every six months.
