Your smile has the power to make a great, long-lasting first impression. In fact, studies show that smiling makes you appear more likeable and competent to others.
Science confirms the many benefits that come with a smile. That’s probably why teeth whitening is still the #1 go-to option to cosmetically enhance a smile. This year consumers will spend over 6 billion on teeth whitening products.
Unfortunately, many whitening treatments and products are not very effective, or safe. And some may even cause serious damage to your teeth and gums.
Whitening your teeth can be a great way to cosmetically enhance your smile. It can be safe, effective, and non-invasive.
If you’re thinking of brightening your smile, here are 3 tips to keep in mind to ensure you have a more successful whitening experience.
- Avoid Whitening Mistakes – Not all teeth whitening products and treatments are equal. And some just don’t have the best interests of your oral health in mind. If you’ve made the decision to try teeth whitening, please avoid these teeth whitening mistakes.
- Rely on the Professionals– Going to your dentist (like your friendly North Seattle Dentists!) for your teeth whitening treatments are a better alternative because they’re safe, effective and they’re done under the supervision of our dentists. Our teeth whitening treatments offer better results, and you’ll get the personalization you need to reach your whitening goals. When we meet with you, we’ll help you find the right whitening treatment for your needs, but we’ll also look for any dental issues that may affect your whitening. This may include existing restorative dental work you have (crowns, tooth colored fillings or veneers), as well as having crooked teeth, receding gums or tooth sensitivity. Here are some of the biggest reasons to rely on us for a successful teeth whitening experience.
- Beware of Foods/Drinks that Can Undermine Your Whitening – Once you make the commitment to brighten your smile, don’t let certain foods or beverages undermine your teeth whitening efforts. Besides coffee and red wine, there are many tooth staining culprits lurking in your daily diet. As a general rule, if something that you consume can stain your carpet or a white T-shirt, it can also stain your teeth. But as with most rules, there are some exceptions. These foods and drinks that will stain your teeth – some surprising, some not so surprising!
If you follow these tips, teeth whitening can be a great option to enhance the look of your smile and your overall appearance. When you’re ready to brighten your smile, you can rely on us for a safe, successful teeth whitening experience.
