Should I Get My Teeth Whitened?

As a dentist in Los Angeles, teeth whitening is a very sought after procedure where questions such as, should I get my teeth professionally whitened? Are there any side effects? Do whitening toothpastes make a difference? come up all the time, we are happy to answer them in order to give our patients the peace of mind they are looking for to make a decision. Even though results will vary from person to person, you will; however, achieve a whiter smile.

If you do visit a dentist in Los Angeles for the purpose of whitening your teeth, avoid negating your efforts afterwards by staying away from things that can stain teeth such as the obvious tobacco, coffee, soda and red wine. If you’ve got to have your morning caffeine fix try drinking your coffee with a straw or opt for green tea which is also an antioxidant.

Don’t forget, good oral hygiene practices are the best way to get and keep a beautiful white smile. That means you should brush and floss daily, eat a healthy diet, and visit your dentist regularly. White teeth are attractive, but healthy teeth last forever.
