Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
When teeth are frequently exposed to foods and beverages that are high in pigments, dyes, and tannins, these stain-causing chemicals can become stuck in their enamel, resulting in stubborn stains and discoloration that do not respond to conventional oral hygiene methods. These stains can be intrinsic, meaning they are located beneath the enamel, or extrinsic, meaning they are located on its surface. Teeth whitening treatments from our Southampton office are completely painless and noninvasive, so they can be an excellent option for virtually any patient.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
While you can probably find many teeth whitening products at stores or pharmacies, these retail solutions can lead to lackluster results or even injuries due to user error or poor manufacture. Professional teeth whitening treatments, on the other hand, can reliably deliver amazing results in brief timeframes. We are proud to offer take-home whitening kits at our Southampton office.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our take-home teeth whitening kits include customized dental trays designed to fit your child’s teeth and tubes of concentrated whitening gel to ensure amazing results. You’ll only need to apply the gel to the trays and have your child wear them for about an hour daily for two weeks. This treatment can bleach out stains and leave your child’s teeth up to eight shades whiter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Child’s Brighter Smile
It’s only natural that you would want to do what you can to make sure your child’s teeth whitening results last for as long as possible. You can help keep their teeth shiny and prevent new stains by:
- Making sure your child is practicing excellent oral hygiene
- Feeding your child plenty of white dairy products so their teeth have the vitamins, minerals, and protein they need to stay healthy, shiny, and strong.
- Refraining from giving your child too many foods and beverages that are high in sugars, acids, dyes, and pigments.
- Bringing your child to our office for routine checkups every six months.
