Whiter Teeth: Good Looks and Good Health

Teeth whitening has a wide range of “whitening” options which is available to consumers in Toronto. These products fall into two main categories: surface whiteners and bleaches. Teeth whitening are ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and gums.

Whitening teeth relies on a planned strategy, professional techniques and a long-term approach that focuses on maintenance. Discuss your needs with Dr. Jerry Vasilakos and Planet Dentistry staff.

There are methods that work for every lifestyle and budget – from inexpensive toothpastes and whitening pens-to-go to professional teeth whitening treatments performed by dental professionals. There are many teeth whitening systems and products including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and whitening products obtained from a dentist.

There are two main ways of whitening teeth. You can choose between in-office treatments from a professional dentist and at-home options including whitening kits and over the counter products. The claim made by many kits, products and procedures is that they offer ‘permanent’ whitening. The truth is that no whitening procedures are permanent as certain foods and drinks will invariably cause future discoloration. In addition, In-office treatments use lights to speed up the bleaching effect. However, Laser teeth-whitening treatment results can last up to 5 years—compared to their competition’s effects of just 6 months to 1 year.

This method will work best for you depend on the number of teeth that need to be bleached, and on how badly they are stained (or discoloured).

• Tooth-bleaching under controlled dental office conditions may be safe and effective, but the new In-office vital tooth-bleaching techniques, particularly those using laser and lights, have undergone little scientific assessment.
• While, Home-use tooth-bleaching systems are available to the general public, either from a dentist or from various retail outlets. Clinical studies support the safety and effectiveness of home-use bleaching gels when used appropriately.

On the other hand, teeth whitening treatments don’t always need to be so drastic. However, there are few natural and easy ways to keep your white sparkling teeth.

The following are few simple and effective ways you can do to keep your teeth white in natural ways:

• Use straw to drink. By using straw to drink such as coffee, wine, soda, and tea, it helps you to avoid discolouring your teeth. As much as possible, limit yourself by drinking too much red wine, tea and coffee.
• Eat more fruits and veggies. By eating raw crunchy fruits and veggies can help chew the stains away on your teeth.
• Watch your diet. Certain foods, like coffee, tea and red wine, can wreak havoc on your teeth. Create a diet to naturally maintain your white sparkling teeth.
• Start a Great Daily Oral Health Regime. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Stop using Cigarettes. Cease habits such as smoking and chewing tobacco.
