Title: Effective Teeth Whitening
1Effective Teeth Whitening
2There are many methods of teeth whitening, as you
may well be aware from the commercials and ads
we're bombarded with nowadays. Ranging from
simple off-the-shelf products at the local big
box store, to a high-quality professional
application at a dentist,
3there is a product available for most budgets. At
the upper end of the scale, your local dentist
offers the most effective treatment methods,
which will create a lasting, beautifully white
smile with minimal effort on your part.
4Some optimistic claims of at-home treatments
should be viewed with a grain of salt. They can
also be effective, but buyer beware the general
rule, "you don't get what you don't pay for"
applies here.Any tooth whitening plan you want
to pursue requires a few necessary choices on the
part of the patient.
5First, what degree of whitening do you want to
achieve? How quickly do you want results? Would
you like a simple method that requires frequent
treatments, or a complicated method that only has
to be applied infrequently?
6Those fond of coffee other highly-staining
beverages will have to consider whether that
delicious cup of espresso early in the mornings
is worth sacrificing in exchange for a smile
that's a few shades brighter.One option that
straddles the line between high-quality visits at
the dentist and
7off-the-shelf products are dental trays. They are
a custom-fitted set of appliances obtained from
your dentist, and can provide consistent results
for a lifetime. Their primary benefits are that
they are specific for your teeth, and are more
comfortable and safe to use than other methods.
8The patient simply requests them from a dentist,
and they are installed for a number of hours each
day, producing a remarkably whiter smile in as
little as a few days to a couple of weeks.
Another alternative is whitening strips, such as
those made by Crest, although
9they have the potential to cause irritation of
the gums for some people. However, no matter what
method you prefer, proper brushing and healthy
diet choices are essential for any whitening
program in order to produce lasting, positive
results.http//www.discoverydentalwa.com/
