The last time you looked in the mirror did you think to yourself that your smile was looking a bit dingy? A bright, glistening white smile is something that everybody wants—it is beautiful and looks healthy—but definitely not everybody has. Even if you are careful about the way that you take care of your mouth, brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, and using anti-cavity mouthwash, you may still notice that your teeth are not as pearly white as you would like them to be.
There are various factors that can go into the discoloration of your teeth. The biggest thing is just what you eat and drink. Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, blueberries, and anything with artificial coloring, can lead to the discoloration of your teeth.
Fortunately there are ways to combat this yellowing or staining and get back that bright white smile that you want to see grinning back at you from the bathroom mirror.
When it comes to whitening your teeth you have various options. You can use the toothpastes and rinses that claim to have whitening properties, you can utilize the strips and gels that you can purchase at the drug store, or you can even use home whitening trays. While some of these products do work to a degree, they can also lead to serious tooth sensitivity, particularly with prolonged use. If you are really serious about getting your teeth white in a way that is fast, effective, long-lasting, and carries lower risk of developing painful sensitivity, you really need to visit a dentist.
Tooth whitening dentists, Clearwater residents know, come in all types. Finding the one that is right for you is key to really liking the results. NuSmile offers the Zoom-2 teeth whitening procedure that allows you to come into the office for just 60 minutes—not the hours that some other whitening procedures require—and leave with your teeth an average of eight shades whiter.
The best part about these amazing results is that they actually last! You can expect your whitening to last up to two years. Of course this will vary depending on the foods that you eat and the beverages you consume as well as how you care for your teeth, but the office can also provide you with maintenance products to help you maximize your results for the long term.
