The Safe Way to Whiter Teeth
We all want to have the whitest and brightest smile that we can have. Over-the-counter whitening kits are available. The downside of such at-home products is that the process is completely unsupervised. The up-side is that the popularity of such whitening products may be helping patients to focus on their oral and dental health.
However, as a patient you must be aware that there are real and important problems which can arise with whitening your teeth without proper supervision by your dentist.
There can be many dangers in home whitening kits. One study states that these kits may contain ingredients that can actually injure the soft tissue in your mouth and throat and may make you ill if ingested. It is undoubtedly more effective for us, as dental professionals, to whiten your teeth in-office, or, at the very least, to supervise any in-home treatment you choose to use. 
When we prescribe a whitening program, we make absolutely certain that the whitening ingredients are appropriate (i.e., correct type and concentration) for your teeth and gums. We also provide you with a custom-made whitening tray that only a dental professional can properly fit. An ill-fitting tray can cause gagging, damage to your gums and existing dental work and even choking.We want your smile to be the best it can be! Please let us help you to achieve your goals safely and quickly. Please call for a consultation. Make sure you don't compromise your oral health.
