Having whiter teeth has become something of an obsession to modern America. Everyone from movie stars and pop icons to teenagers and single parents are looking for ways to make their teeth whiter. Here is a short run down of some things you can do to keep your teeth white.
First and foremost, brush at least twice daily. Your dentist has probably been telling you this since you were 5 years old. It’s for a reason. Brushing your teeth twice a day helps keep your teeth healthy and stain free. No, toothpaste or toothbrush will be able to get any stains that may be inside your teeth, but stains on the surface are easily taken care of. Some toothbrushes come with rubber pieces on their heads mixed in with the bristles so as to remove stains and plaque more efficiently. Some toothpastes are made to help remove stains from your teeth as well.
Another tip to achieving whiter teeth is to avoid foods and drinks that can stain them. Wine, coffee, tea, and some sodas are just examples. Your dentist should have a more complete list of products that can stain your teeth. In some instances, a good idea would be to use a straw to bypass your teeth.
Professional whitening may be the option you’re looking for. With professional whitening, you must first see your dentist and discuss what needs to be done for your teeth. There are two types your dentist can perform: vital and non-vital whitening. If your teeth are stained from the inside, your dentist may use what is called non-vital whitening. Vital whitening is used on teeth that have live nerves inside of them and can really only whiten the outside. Non-vital whitening can only be used on teeth that do not have a live nerve inside of it, such as those that have had root canal surgery, so a thorough examination and discussion is necessary before anything takes place. You can do vital whitening one of two ways: in-office or at home. If you do in-office vital whitening, your dentist will be there to supervise and make sure the procedure goes smoothly. It can last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, and may take a few visits. If you opt to do at home teeth whitening, your dentist will make impressions of your teeth and give you a custom mouthpiece or two. These mouthpieces are to be filled with the whitening gel your dentist provides and you’re to wear them for a few hours a day. You can achieve the whiteness you want within a week or two.
Your dentist knows many more ways for you to improve the whiteness of your teeth. Schedule an appointment with them for a cleaning and consultation on ways to whiten your teeth.
