How can I keep my teeth whiter?

There are several ways to keep your teeth whiter:

  1. Brush and floss regularly: Brushing twice a day for 2 minutes, especially last thing at night, and flossing daily can help to remove surface stains and prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can cause discolouration.

  2. Oral-B Pro White replacement electric toothbrush head features a special polishing cup to remove surface stains for a naturally whiter.

  3. Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks: Foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored berries can cause tooth staining. Limiting your consumption of these items can help to prevent stains from forming.

  4. Visit a dental professional for professional whitening treatments: A dental professional can provide professional whitening treatments that are the strongest, most effective and safe. Professional treatments may include in-office whitening, custom-fitted trays, or a combination of both.

It's important to note that while whitening treatments can improve the appearance of your teeth, they do not address underlying dental problems such as decay or gum disease. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene practices and visit a dental professional regularly to prevent and treat dental problems and maintain good oral health.

MORE ABOUT IN OFFICE TEETH WHITENING


In-office teeth whitening, also known as chairside teeth whitening, is professional teeth whitening treatment performed by a dental professional in a dental office. This treatment uses a high-concentration bleaching agent that is applied directly to the teeth to remove surface stains and discoloration.

During an in-office teeth whitening treatment, the dental professional will apply a protective gel to the gums to prevent irritation from the bleaching agent. Then, a bleaching solution containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide will be applied directly to the teeth. The solution is typically activated by a special light or laser that helps to accelerate the bleaching process.

The treatment typically takes about an hour and can result in teeth that are several shades whiter. In-office teeth whitening is generally safe and effective, with minimal discomfort or side effects.

It's important to note that in-office teeth whitening is not a permanent solution and may need to be repeated periodically to maintain the results. Additionally, it may not be effective for all types of discoloration or staining, such as discoloration caused by certain medications or tooth trauma.

Overall, in-office teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile under the supervision of a dental professional.
