Everyone is different and just as our hair and skin color can vary, so do our teeth. Professional teeth whitening can be done without the fuss and bother of an over-the-counter method. Avoid the worry or injury of your gums and teeth if you want to get your teeth whitened and brightened. Let the dentists at Brady Dental help you decide if your teeth need whitening.

There are a number of reasons why you might get your teeth whitened. Very few people have brilliant-white teeth. Our teeth can become discolored as we get older. Your teeth can also be stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee, and red wine, and by smoking. Tartar can also affect your teeth. Some people may have staining under the surface, which can be caused by certain antibiotics or by tiny cracks in the teeth which soak up stains easier.

There are two categories of staining as it relates to the teeth: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains are stains that appear on the surface of the teeth as a result of exposure to foods, dark-colored beverages, tobacco, and routine wear and tear. These types of stains are minor and can usually be removed with brushing and preventive dental cleaning. Really stubborn stains can be removed by professionals at Brady Dental. Persistent extrinsic stains can penetrate into the dentin and become ingrained if they are not dealt with early. These types of stains may fall into the category of whitening your teeth. Intrinsic stains are those that form on the interior of teeth. Intrinsic stains result from aging, trauma, exposure to minerals (like tetracycline) during tooth formation, and/or excessive ingestion of fluoride. Previously, it was thought that intrinsic stains were too resistant to be repaired by bleaching. Today, experts believe that even deep-set intrinsic stains can be removed with teeth whitening procedures done at Brady Dental.

Upon completion of your teeth whitening procedure, you would be advised to avoid foods or beverages with a high level of pigment for at least 6 hours. These include coffee, tea, tomato sauce, tomato juice, yellow mustard, beets, black grapes, candies, and red wine. Smoking or tobacco of any sort would need to also be avoided.

There are many advantages to having your teeth whitened at Brady Dental. Using a professional that gives you an individually created affordable bleaching solution and matches your unique dental structure exactly gives you precisely what you need.

As you make your decision, there are important things to remember: Bleaching your teeth is a commitment to keeping them white, and teeth whitening does not work for everyone. Some people have teeth that are darker as a result of their genetic makeup. While many people see an enormous difference in their appearance as a result of whitening their teeth, consider the investment and commitment. Ultimately, at Brady Dental, you can get good, sound, reliable advice when thinking about brightening and whitening your teeth. Call them today for your consultation to brighten up your smile!
