Beware These Over-Whitening Issues!

A bright, white smile can make all the difference in your personal confidence and the first impression you make with people. Sometimes, though, people jump in and try to whiten their teeth on their own before considering a few important factors. Are the chemicals in the product safe? Will the product you chose damage your enamel? Should you be using teeth whitener in the first place? 

Access Dental and Dentures is the best dentist in southern Missouri and we have the answers to a lot of those questions for you! We can also schedule an appointment with you to talk about professional teeth whitening and how we can help you get the smile of your dreams. Keep reading to learn more!  

Teeth Whitening Chemicals

When it comes to whitening teeth, you have to use the right product to lift stains without also causing damage to your enamel. This is a really delicate balance, so you should be careful about what products you use. If it's too aggressive, your enamel will be damaged during the whitening process. This will weaken your teeth and actually make them more prone to damage and discoloration. That's right, a bad whitener could actually make your teeth more yellow in the long-run. A product that is too weak, on the other hand, is just a waste of money because it won't do anything to help whiten your teeth. Access Dental has professional-grade whitener that give you the smile you've always dreamed of in a safe way that won't damage your enamel! 

Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me? 

Traditional teeth whitening may not be right for everyone. If you have sensitive teeth, then over-the-counter whitening products are definitely not right for you. They will increase your sensitivity and can cause significant dental pain. If you have colored tooth fillings (as opposed to metal) or a fake tooth, then you should be aware that whiteners won't affect these areas. That means you could end up with spots or teeth that look like different colors. No good! If you aren't sure about whether or not teeth whitening is right for you, talk to our professionals at Access Dental and Dentures!
