Tip 1: Regular Teeth Cleanings

It may sound counterintuitive, but one of the keys to enhancing the whitening power of your in-office teeth bleaching appointment is to get regular teeth cleanings. By visiting your dentist for a cleaning every six months, you ensure that your teeth are free from plaque, tartar, and surface stains that can hinder the effectiveness of the whitening process. Even if you maintain good oral hygiene at home, getting a professional cleaning using pumice and a polishing cup can target stubborn stains between the teeth and help prepare your teeth for optimal whitening results.

Tip 2: Pre-Whitening Routine

To further enhance the effects of in-office teeth whitening, consider whitening your teeth at home a few days before your professional appointment. Whitening your teeth beforehand helps break down surface stains, making it easier for the stronger concentration of bleach used in the in-office procedure to penetrate the teeth more effectively. By eliminating some initial barriers to deep stain removal, you can achieve even brighter and whiter results.

Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleanings

Apart from boosting the effectiveness of in-office whitening, regular teeth cleanings offer numerous additional benefits. They help prevent gum disease, maintain fresh breath, and provide early detection of any dental issues. By staying on a regular hygiene program and scheduling checkups every six months, you can maintain optimal oral health and pave the way for a successful teeth whitening experience.

Whitening Options at Smile Pop

It’s worth exploring various teeth whitening products available on the market. At Smile Pop, we have our own teeth whitening product line, which includes pens, syringes, and coming soon – teeth whitening strips! These teeth whitening products can be used to maintain your white smile in between professional whitening sessions or as a standalone solution for teeth whitening.

In-office teeth whitening can significantly enhance the brightness of your smile, but taking a proactive approach can further improve your results. Remember to schedule regular teeth cleanings to ensure your teeth are free from stains and buildup before the whitening procedure. Additionally, consider whitening your teeth a few days before your appointment to break down surface stains and allow the professional bleach to penetrate effectively. By following these tips and exploring different whitening options, you can achieve a radiant smile that you’ll be proud to share with the world.
