Teeth Whitening Tips from Coastal Dental

Are you looking to achieve a brighter, whiter smile? You’re in the right place – in this article, the team from Coastal Dental will provide some tips on maintaining the whiteness of your smile.

How to keep your teeth white naturally

There are a number of things you can do at home to keep your teeth naturally whiter. These include:

• Using a toothbrush that is appropriately soft. If the bristles are too firm you could actually be doing damage, by wearing away the enamel of the teeth.
• Limit intake of food and drink that cause staining of the teeth. These include coffee, tea, and wine. They also include habits such as smoking.
• Stay hydrated. Hydration helps saliva, and saliva helps to fight tooth decay, which can lead to discolouration.
• Brush and floss following the advice and technique suggested by your dentist Gosford.
• Eat a healthy diet that is low in sugar.

Solutions offered by your dentist Central Coast

If you want whiter teeth, the most effective approach is to arrange professional teeth whitening at your local dentist Gosford, such as Coastal Dental.

The process of teeth whitening will first involve your dentist assessing your suitability for this treatment method, and once that has been done, delivering the treatment in the clinic. It will typically involve these steps:

• Using a device to hold the mouth in an open position.
• Protecting the gums and lips.
• Applying a bleaching gel to the teeth.
• Activating this gel with a special light.
• Repeating this process multiple times in the clinic.

Once this has been done, the patient will find that their teeth are notably whiter. Teeth whitening may have to be repeated from time to time to sustain the whitening effect.

An alternative to teeth whitening treatments is dental veneers, specifically porcelain veneers as we offer here at Coastal Dental. Porcelain veneers not only change the whiteness of the teeth, but they can also mask other defects with the teeth, such as imperfect teeth or gaps in the teeth.

Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain that is attached to the front of the teeth, forming the smile, in a minimally invasive procedure by your Gosford or Central Coast cosmetic dentist.

Whitening your teeth with the help of your dentist Gosford

In conclusion, while it is possible to maintain the whiteness of your teeth to a degree at home, if you have discoloured teeth already you may need the solutions offered by your teeth whitening dentist or other dentist near me, to achieve your dream smile.
