\"Teeth<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Has all the coffee you\u2019ve\nenjoyed over the years left your pearly whites stained? Are your teeth looking\nyellower than before thanks to some worn down enamel? Or were you exposed to\ntetracycline as a child that left some dark spots in your mouth? There are all\nkinds of ways a tooth can become discolored, which means there\u2019s also all kinds\nof reasons why you might be interested in teeth whitening<\/a>\nin Chaska. If you\u2019re considering brightening your smile, here are 5 reasons why\nyou should turn to your dentist instead of heading to the store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Professional Whitening is Far Stronger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While store-bought whitening products can remove some\nstains, the ingredients they contain aren\u2019t as strong as the gel that comes in\na whitening kit provided by a cosmetic dentist in Chaska. That means that there\nare some kinds of discoloration (such as those caused by tetracycline) that\nonly a professional whitening kit can help improve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Professional Whitening is More Predictable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t be sure how long it will take an over-the-counter\nwhitening solution to start showing results. By contrast, a professional kit typically\ntakes about two weeks to brighten your ivories by several shades. If you have a\nspecific event that you want to prepare your smile for, then it\u2019s best to go\nwith more reliable methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Professional Whitening is Safer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes over-the-counter whitening products can have\nunintended side effects that might actually be doing your pearly whites more\nharm than good. For example, whitening toothpaste tends to be very abrasive and\ncould damage your enamel \u2013 which, depending on the source of discoloration, might\nmake the problem worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A professional whitening kit, on the other hand, has been\napproved as a safe treatment by the FDA and is provided by your trusted\ndentist, who can help oversee the process. This additional oversight will help ensure\nthat your smile stays healthy while you\u2019re improving its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Professional Whitening is Customizable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A professional kit will use special trays to apply the\nwhitening gel to your teeth. These trays will be designed for your mouth so that\nthey\u2019ll fit as comfortably as possible. This type of customization is only\npossible when the treatment is being provided by a dentist who can take your\nneeds into account instead of offering a \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Professional Whitening Lasts Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if over-the-counter whitening strips and other products\ndo end up enhancing your smile, the results may only last a few months. A\nprofessional treatment, on the other hand, may last for two or three years\n(although this usually requires good maintenance and occasional touch-ups).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s never a good idea to take chances with your teeth when\nit comes to health and appearance. If you\u2019ve been thinking about creating more\ndazzling grin, you should always turn to a partner you can trust. Call your cosmetic\ndentist in Parker today and see what kind of whitening options they offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
