Don’t Use a Dental Whitening Product Without Consulting Your Dentist

Every year, millions of Americans struggle with stains on their teeth. Discolored teeth can leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile’s appearance.

Many people may try to fix this problem with whitening products that are sold in stores. While many of them are effective, others may not do everything that they claim, and still others may not be suited for you. If you are concerned about stains on your teeth, you should talk to our dentist, Dr. Paul L. Evans about the whitening treatment offered at Paul L. Evans, DDS.

After the chairside whitening treatment, talk to the dentist about home kits, and what you can do to keep your new smile in great shape. You may need to make some minor lifestyle changes such as cutting back on certain foods and limiting your consumption of dark beverages.

If you use tobacco products, you may want to think about quitting since smoking and other tobacco products will stain your teeth and increase your chances of getting gum disease and cancer. Talk to the dentist about brushing your teeth with a whitening toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association might also help to remove minor dental stains.
