Stains can penetrate your teeth, from a number of different sources, including dark foods and drinks, tobacco use, or even simply the natural processes of aging. Stains on your teeth can sometimes be embarrassing and leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile. This drives many people to want to explore their whitening options.
Choosing the right whitening product or procedure to whiten your smile, can have several different factors involved. So it’s a good idea to talk to Dr. Rusty M. Albrecht before beginning a new whitening regimen.
Brushing your teeth with a whitening toothpaste is a convenient way to whiten minor surface stains as part of your oral hygiene routine. It’s important to remember that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide whitening agents in whitening toothpaste can only brighten minor surface stains. If you have moderate to deeply stained teeth, it will require stronger, more effective measures to brighten your smile.
Make sure to look for the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance before purchasing a particular brand of whitening toothpaste. The seal represents that the toothpaste has been researched and tested for safety and effectiveness.
If you have moderate to deeply stained teeth, you should ask Dr. Rusty M. Albrecht about a dental bleaching procedure to safely and effectively whiten your teeth.
