Exploring The Different Tooth Whitening Options
Community Dental Group is well aware of the importance of a person’s smile and what it says about them. It is one of the first physical features that people notice about you. So it goes without saying that a bigger, more confident smile tells others how good you feel about yourself and how happy you are with your life. However, if your smile is not that bright or your teeth are stained, it doesn’t matter how confident you are because others may get the wrong impression about you.
Options Based On Key Factors
If you want to brighten and restore your smile, there is a number of over-the-counter (OTC) tooth whitening options that you can explore based on different factors. You may not have enough time to review or try all the options that are currently available. So we usually recommend that you consider evaluating the following factors in order to help you in the decision-making process:
Budget-based options – some individuals may not have the financial means to pay for the more expensive in-office options that dentists provide. Fortunately, there are several over the counter options that cost $30 or less and are quite effective. You can compliment these OTC treatments by switching to tooth whitening mouthwashes and toothpastes.
Options based on your level of commitment – how committed are you to whitening your teeth? The reason we ask is due to the fact that some OTC options take several weeks to show any results. So it is important that you remain committed to seeing the process through if you are hopeful of achieving the results you are looking for.
Time-based options – most tooth whitening options do not require a great deal of time to show noticeable results. Whether you only have 5 minutes or 5 hours to devote to tooth whitening each day, there are a number of options available if you cannot make it a priority.
Professional Tooth Whitening vs. OTC Options
Despite the fact that there are literally dozens of OTC tooth whitening options available on the market, many of them can be extremely cumbersome to use and do not always produce the results you are looking for. Community Dental Group offers professional tooth whitening options that work. They are performed in a controlled environment and the products that we use are more concentrated than what OTC products are comprised of. Despite the use of stronger chemicals, our dentists that your gums will be protected from any harm as well as your tooth enamel.
