Want Whiter Teeth?

Posted on August 16, 2008 | Filed Under Teeth Tips 

An estimated ten million Americans will spend 1.7 billion dollars on tooth whitening products and services this year. Tooth whitening is the most common cosmetic service provided by dentists, and there are also a growing number of over-the-counter tooth whitening products to choose from.

Patients often ask my opinion about the various treatments available to whiten teeth. My recommendation is to use bleaching trays with a product provided by your dentist.

Why not the faster methods? Simple. No one knows the long term effect on the nerves of your teeth when exposed to higher heat methods. My philosophy is “why risk damage to the teeth when the alternative can get you the same result with just a bit more time without the heat?”
