How to achieve a perfect smile

A beautiful smile has a lot to do with healthy white teeth and strong gums. Perfecting your smile will involve brushing your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Additionally, a healthy diet that is low in sugar can contribute to strong white teeth and gums.

To reduce staining, consume less or eliminate teeth-staining foods such as coffee, caffeine products, and smoking. Stain removal is one of the easiest and simplest ways of brightening your smile.

Professional dentists will try to achieve bright yet natural teeth whitening using some of the following procedures:

Supervised home whitening – This process will involve your dentist creating customized molds that shield your gums from a whitening gel. Depending on the amount of staining, it could mean wearing your molds for a few minutes, hours, or overnight for 10-14 days. Dentists will also recommend reducing the consumption of teeth-staining foods during the whitening process.

Laser whitening – This technique can offer faster results and involves shining a light on the gel to quicken the whitening process. Laser whiting can be an effective option for those with severely discolored teeth.

If you are considering whitening your teeth, always visit a dentist who specializes in teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry, ss some whitening procedures have been known to cause tooth sensitivity when done incorrectly.
