Everyone desires a bright, gorgeous but tooth discoloration may interfere with such goals. If you’re ready to brighten a dull room with your smile, you should consider The Woodlands teeth whitening procedures at Scott Young, DDS. The team uses advanced technology to help you achieve your smile goals.
Establishing the safety of teeth whitening
Your skin may discolor or stain for various reasons, including age, beverages, specific medications, and certain foods. Beverages such as coffee, red wine, and tea may make your enamel appear yellow, dulling your smile. Over time the stains infiltrate into your enamel to your dentine, making the stain difficult to remove without professional help. If you can’t stand how stained or discolored your teeth are, it may be time to consider professional teeth whitening. Several teeth whitening techniques are on the market, making it crucial to be skeptical about those products before using them.
The specialists at Scott Young, DDS recommend consulting your doctor about professional teeth whitening to prevent any severe side effects associated with other whitening products. The team offers Zoom! Teeth whitening treatments that lighten your teeth up to eight shades brighter. One treatment session is enough to give you the most brilliant smile in the room, and even if you have a busy schedule, your provider may offer a take-home teeth whitening kit. Both types of Zoom! Teeth whitening treatments are safe and guarantee excellent results. However, due to the bleaching agents, you may experience mild gum and tooth sensitivity immediately after the procedure.
What during a Zoom teeth whitening procedure
A single Zoom! In-office teeth whitening treatment can help you achieve your smile goals. During your appointment, your provider places lower and upper dental trays in your mouth to hold the whitening gel. The team then covers your lips and gums to prevent them from contacting the bleaching agents. They then fill the tray with the solution and position a unique LED lamp over your teeth. Lie back and relax as the gel whitens your teeth for about 45 minutes. After the procedure, your dentist applies a gel to reduce the post-treatment sensitivity. You should notice the dramatic effects of the treatment within two hours.
Misleading myths associated with teeth whitening
Everyone dreams of a gorgeous, brilliant smile, and while there are safe teeth whitening techniques, certain myths may prevent you from seeking them. One of the myths is that whitening toothpaste can whiten your teeth. Although specific types of toothpaste have whitening agents, they are in low concentrations, so they may not offer the expected results.
Another myth is that you have to use the strongest whitening gel for maximum results. While a stronger whitening gel may speed up the whitening procedure, the results may not last as long as you wish. On the contrary, it can cause increased teeth sensitivity and pain. The team at Scott Young DDS examines your teeth carefully to determine the appropriate whitening gel to use.
