TEETH WHITENING TIP: CLEANING BEFORE WHITENING
In order to get the best results from your teeth whitening, whether it be in-office or at-home, you should see Toronto-Cosmetic Dentist for a dental cleaning.
Why you ask? I'll give you 5 good reasons...
1. Scaling removes all the hardened plaque (tartar) from your teeth and under the gum line. Tartar is the yellowish substance that sticks to teeth and can sometimes be difficult to remove.
2. Tartar and bacteria are best friends. Having tartar under your gums, exposes your gums to bacteria causing gum disease, bleeding and sensitity.
3. Tartar is not only unhealthy, it makes your teeth appear yellow. So just by removing the tartar, your teeth will already appear whiter.
4. Also tartar blocks the way to your teeth. In order for the whitening gel to work it must be able to access your teeth, not the tartar.
5. Also tartar will make your teeth more sensitive to the bleaching agents of whitening gels.
Your smile will look its best, when your teeth are healthy and strong. Call (416) 225-4446 to book your dental cleaning today and be on your way to a brighter, whiter smile!
