Teeth whitening can truly transform your smile, offering white, bright results. However, if you don’t do it safely, you could be putting your teeth at risk. Read on for everything you need to know to safely and effectively achieve a beaming smile.
DIY Whitening
If there’s one thing to steer clear of, it’s do-it-yourself whitening techniques. You’ve probably seen ideas floating around the internet, like swishing with hydrogen peroxide or brushing with lemon and baking soda. Don’t do it. Many of these tutorials will be abrasive to your teeth, wearing down your enamel, causing sensitivity and vulnerability to decay. It’s always best not to take advice from strangers on the internet, especially when it comes to your precious teeth!
At-Home Whitening Kits
When it comes to the kits that you can buy at your local pharmacy, these are generally safe, though they may not be as effective as a professional procedure will be. Always look for the American Dental Association’s Seal of Approval, and do some research, or even talk to your dentist. Once you purchase and start using a kit, be sure to read and follow the directions closely to ensure the safety of your teeth and efficacy of the product.
Professional Whitening & Veneers
The most sure-fire way to get a brilliant white smile is to pursue professional whitening. Here at Midtown Dental, we offer KöR® Teeth Whitening. KöR® is a deep-bleaching procedure that offers a reinvigorated smile. Want the next step up in whitening and smile perfection? That would be veneers. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded to the surface of the tooth. They are long lasting, stain- and chip-resistant, and yield stunning results.
