If you have stained teeth, you need to consider cosmetic dentistry. Our professional teeth whitening system can help your smile shine, even if you have severe staining. In today’s blog, your Cerritos, CA, dentist talks about our professional teeth whitening solution and how this can make your smile shine.
The Causes of Teeth Stains
Why do stains form on the surfaces of our teeth? This could happen for a number of reasons. For example, plaque buildup, which coats your teeth and is linked to factors like sugar and starch in your diet and poor brushing and flossing, could make stains more visible. You could also develop discoloration if you consume drinks with dark pigments, such as coffee, red wine, soda, and tea. You could also develop discoloration if you fail to seek professional cleanings to remove buildup from your teeth. Tobacco use is also a common factor, including cigarettes and vaping. As part of your treatment, we will assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains with a thorough dental exam!
Help with Cosmetics Dentistry
With professional teeth whitening, our team can help brighten your smile by several shades. We will apply a protective covering over your lips and gums, and then apply a topical whitening gel onto the surfaces of your teeth. The gel then breaks up and removes the stains that have formed on your teeth. We can repeat this as needed, and in as little as one to two hours you could have a much brighter smile. This provides more substantial and longer-lasting results than standard strips and toothpastes, so you achieve a brighter smile that lasts for much longer!
Keeping Your Smiles Bright
What can you do following your teeth whitening treatment to help keep your smile bright? To ensure your new results can last, we want to make sure you brush and floss daily, which removes food particles that could feed bacteria and create plaque and tartar buildup. You should also cut back on sugar and starch in your diet, and watch out for drinks with dark pigments. Be sure you avoid tobacco use too! These actions can help protect the color of your teeth, and also improve the health of your teeth and gums in the process too.
