Thinking about Whitening?
A lot of people in our area wouldn’t mind having whiter, younger-looking teeth, and the good news is that Quirt Family Dentistry can help! Despite the fact that we brush, floss, rinse, and go for our regular dental checkups, years of wear and tear have still taken their toll. Whether it’s routine exposure to coffee or tea, tobacco, or staining foods like blueberry or cherry pie, our teeth can probably use some TLC to bring back that brilliant luster of our youth.
Teeth Whitening Options
Options to whiten your smile seem endless. A quick browse through the local pharmacy will reveal lots over-the-counter options: whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes, floss, strips, gels, and trays with a range of prices that appeal to penny-pinchers as well as those willing to splurge. And many of these products offer a guarantee: results similar to professional, dental-office whitening in just minutes a day over the course of several days or a couple of weeks, but at a fraction of the cost of a professional whitening session.
For those who would prefer to trust the expert – albeit more expensive – work of a pro, a trip to Quirt Family Dentistry is in order for an in-office whitening experience. We, too, have lots of bleaching options (professional level) to choose from to help patients have the smile they want. The truth is, the older we get, the more difficult it becomes to whiten our teeth but we are here to help!
Teeth Whitening F.A.Q.s
1. How long does whitening last?
If you don’t bleach regularly, like once every 4 to 6 weeks, bleaching will usually fade over time.
2. Will I have to bleach for the rest of my life?
For those over the age of 27 who want to maintain the brilliance of their teeth, yes – at least one night every 4 to 6 weeks is standard.
3. How often should I touch up?
About one evening every 4 to 6 weeks.
4. Will my teeth be sensitive?
Some are, some aren’t. If you have receding gums and/or are normally sensitive to cold or sweets, you will probably have sensitivity issues.
