White white whiter!! 💎
The endless journey of seeking whiter teeth never stops 🙄. We do teeth whitening in our office and offer that to our patients and I think it’s a great way to make your smile shine ✨😁! It’s also a great thing to before a big event like, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. ✨ .
Having said all of that I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder 👀. We have patients coming in with pretty darn white teeth and yet they feel the teeth are not white enough 🤨. Where does this conception come from 🤷🏻♀️! I believe that a lot of it has to do with celebrities, social media and the society’s pressure of how we should look.
There’s lots of ways to get whiter more polished looking teeth but If celebrity white is what you’re searching for it’s usually not through teeth whitening.
Most of the celebrities have veneers or crowns which would be another topic another day.
One way to get whiter teeth is to first have your teeth cleaned and get them polished.
This will remove any external surface stains.
There’s different modalities to whiten your teeth from take home kits that are made especially for your mouth and teeth, over the counter crest white strips or zoom whitening or other types of whitening with LED light.
Whitening is not recommended for anyone younger than 18 years and reason being that the teeth & the nerve is not fully developed prior to that so we don’t want to disrupt the development and cause sensitivity etc.
Consult your dentist prior to any whitening treatment and make sure you are a good candidate. There are cases that whitening will not help and those can be determined by your dentist.
