Teeth Whitening Q & A
Teeth naturally turn yellow as you get older. Over the years, the white exterior of your teeth (enamel) chips and wears away due to biting and chewing. This makes the interior of your teeth (dentin) more visible. Dentin has a yellow tint.
Other factors contribute to yellow and discolored teeth as well, including:
- Tobacco use
- Drinking beverages with tannins, like coffee and red wine
- Eating foods that stain, like tomatoes or blackberries
- Taking medication with tetracycline
Poor oral hygiene can also play a role. You’re more likely to experience stained or discolored teeth if you fail to brush and floss daily.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry technique that uses medical-grade solutions to whiten and brighten your tooth enamel.
There are a variety of teeth whitening treatments available but almost all use carbamide peroxide as their main ingredient. Carbamide peroxide is entirely harmless and presents no side-effects. It can brighten your teeth for months at a time.
At Chauvin Family Dentistry, our team offers high quality, at home teeth whitening:
Take-home teeth whitening trays
Take-home teeth whitening brightens and whitens your teeth over an extended period.
At the beginning of treatment, the team at Chauvin Family Dentistry gives you whitening trays and a professional-strength whitening gel.
You squeeze the gel into the trays and wear them for several hours a day for about two weeks. The whitening gel penetrates your enamel and dentin, releasing the stains and brightening your smile.
The results of teeth whitening treatment aren’t permanent, but they do last for 4-6 months. If you want to extend the results, the team at Chauvin Family Dentistry recommends brushing and flossing daily, avoiding tobacco products, and drinking water instead of coffee or cola. You might also benefit from drinking with a straw.
If you want a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile, request a teeth whitening appointment at Chauvin Family Dentistry. Book a consultation online, or call the nearest office to speak with a caring administrative staff member today.
