A Bright, New Smile

by | Jan 3, 2022 | Teeth Whitening

The beginning of a new year is a great time to think about what you want for your future and discover what you can do to make it a reality. If you envision a bright, new smile in the new year, we’re here to help you achieve your dreams. Here’s how to reach your goals and improve your smile.

First Things First

The first thing to keep in mind about achieving a bright, new smile in the new year, is that improvement often happens incrementally. If you’re not satisfied with the brightness of your smile, it can be helpful to talk with your dentist about ideas for improving your at-home oral hygiene routine.

Dentists typically recommend brushing your teeth after each meal or 3 times a day as well as flossing daily. Adding new tools to your routine, such as an electric toothbrush with an interactive app or a waterpik flosser, can also go a long way towards improving your results. Remember: the brightest smile is a healthy smile!

A Little Extra Help

If you still feel that your teeth are a shade or two less bright than you’d like them to be, at-home whitening kits and products can be helpful. Many different types are available, from toothpastes and gels to whitening strips and full kits. The options can feel overwhelming to know which ones are safe and effective, so it’s a good idea to talk with your dentist before trying something new.

How Your Dentist Can Help

When you share with your dentist about your desired goals, they can recommend the products that will best help you achieve the smile you dream of. Your dentist can also examine your teeth and gums to ensure that they are healthy and let you know if a professional cleaning would help to remove any stains that might contribute to yellowing of your teeth. They can also offer professional whitening options that have been tested and proven to provide fast and satisfying results.
