Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth can become discolored over time due to a variety of factors, including:
- Food and beverages: Tea, coffee, and red wine are a few of the beverages that are known to stain teeth. They contain pigments that strongly attach to tooth enamel.
- Smoking tobacco: This is a classic cause of tooth discoloration caused by the tar and nicotine found in cigarettes and other tobacco products.
- Medications: Certain medications, like some antibiotics, can cause tooth discoloration.
- Tooth trauma: If a tooth is injured, it can sometimes turn a different color.
If you’re hoping to whiten your smile, your first step is visiting our Chelmsford office for a consultation. While patients do need to have decent oral health, most end up being excellent candidates for teeth whitening!
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening is designed to make your teeth several shades lighter by brightening the color of their enamel, or outer layer. Hydrogen peroxide is often used, as it can help to break down the particles that are responsible for tooth discoloration. Rest assured, these treatments are designed to be safe, minimally invasive, and comfortable for patients. Teeth whitening can be administered right here in our Chelmsford office, or with the help of take-home kits that contain the same, high-quality whitening solutions.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home whitening kits are great for patients who’d prefer to gradually whiten their teeth from the comfort and convenience of their own homes – and on their own timetables. After we take impressions of your smile, we can provide you with custom-made applicator trays that you’ll wear with special bleaching gels. Over the course of a couple of weeks, you’ll wear the trays as instructed, and before long, you’ll begin to see dazzling results.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
We’re able to provide a few different types of in-office teeth whitening here at our office. One option involves using bleaching gels that are applied directly to the teeth; rest assured, your gums and sensitive tissues are shielded from the solution. Another type of treatment involves the use of lasers; after a special bleaching agent is applied to the teeth, a laser instrument is used to activate its whitening ability. In-office teeth whitening can usually be completed in just a single appointment.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After you’ve had your teeth whitened, you’ll want to ensure that your results last for as long as possible! Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and sports drinks.
- Sugary foods should only be eaten in moderation; bacterial growth contributes to staining.
- Maintain excellent hygiene by brushing with a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- As a general rule of thumb, if it can stain a plain white T-shirt, it can also stain your teeth!
