DIY: Not A Good Plan For Whitening

When you’re feeling all ready to make movement toward a much whiter smile, your sense of urgency can become great! You’re ready for a brighter smile and you’d like for this change to happen as quickly as humanly possible. As a result, you may find yourself drawn to DIY teeth whitening options that you see at the store, online, and that you hear about from friends. To this we say: Beware! This is not a sound plan. What is a good plan? Come see our team. For now, let us explain why we offer such advice.

DIY Stuff Won’t Work Very Well

There will, of course, be some wonderful promises when you find a DIY teeth whitening option. You may see what appear to be amazing before-and-after images. You may read some very convincing testimonials. However, take our word for it: You’re not going to see anything close to the same level of effective results as you can expect from professional care.

DIY Solutions Might Damage Your Smile

The ingredients suggested in DIY teeth whitening is often on our “we definitely don’t suggest it” list. For instance, while lemon may lift stains, it will also damage your enamel. The same is true of baking soda. Don’t fall for these too-good-to-be-true ideas. Instead, call us.

Professional Care Is Where It’s At!

We suggest professional teeth whitening because it’s effective and it is safe. We also suggest coming to us because if we decide whitening isn’t your best bet, we may suggest something else that will work for you (like veneers or tooth bonding).
