Coffeelovers know the pain of having less than perfect teeth.
All of the options on the market can make the process of whitening your teeth seem overwhelming.
However, it can come with a hefty price tag.
The dental professional applying the whitening treatment to your teeth will let it sit for about 15-30 minutes.
You’ll likely be in and out of your appointment in an hour.
The bang out of treatment depends on where you go and what you’re looking for.
“However, lots of the results have to do with the genetic makeup of your teeth.
Sometimes you just can’t whiten your teeth enough to see an obvious difference.
You never know with anyone until you actually do it.
“Those products don’t actually bleach your teeth like professional teeth whitening.
With our treatment, the peroxide is remaining isolated on your teeth for a significant period of time.”
Kantor recommends visiting your dentist every six months for a whitening treatment for best results.
Cold and even hot food or drinks may cause discomfort after you’ve gotten your teeth whitened.
They can also become more prone to staining, which is counterproductive to what you want.
That’s why dentists recommend coming in often for another treatment.
You also need to be careful with what you eat post-treatment, said Marc Lowenberg.
“Don’t eat things like spaghetti with marinara sauce, red wine, ketchup, or blueberries.
After five days, the new color of your teeth is locked in.”
Keeping in mind the side effects and aftercare is key when deciding to get your teeth professionally whitened.
