Put Your Best Smile Forward

December 1, 2008



Scrubbing, bleaching, strips and swishing. We have done it all to get the whitest pearly whites that we can get. Little do some ladies know that you can put your best smile forward without it taking you to the bank penniless. There are a few different steps you can take to get that award winning smile.

If whitening at home, the first step is you want to start with your teeth at their cleanest. Get yourself an electric toothbrush to get a better clean. It moves quicker than arm power to give you a much better clean. Your next step is to pick your method. Do you want to brush and swish to whiteness or use a strip? By using a toothpaste and mouthwash combined that peroxide can help to brighten your smile but only by one shade with daily use. Strips and trays have more whitening power since they have longer contact with your teeth and can provide you with better results.

If you opt to go the old fashioned way and visit your dentist, then be prepared to spend a little of your cold, hard cash. To make the best out of your treatments you want to get a professional treatment first. By getting rid of pesky tartar the peroxide can do its job and penetrate your teeth. There is also a light treatment you can go for call Dental’s Zoom. It’s the new wave of lightening and works with a whitening lamp and a peroxide gel to give you that awesome white smile. In about 45 minutes your teeth can whiten about 8 shades lighter. WOW!

If you are wondering if bleaching can do any significant harm to your teeth just remember to skip any products that have acid in the ingredients. This takes away the superficial layer of your teeth and will leave them feeling chalky. You also don’t want to over abuse your home products. It can cause sensitivity and make your teeth hurt. Remember, when choosing your whitening and brightening solutions, find the one that is just right for your use.
