How “white” do you want them?

September 4, 2009 Mouth No Comments

toothbrush2 How white do you want them?“I met a guy the other day who’s teeth seemed to glow in the dark… I don’t believe I remembered anything about that conversation.”

Who wouldn’t want their teeth looking nice and bright?  But, there should be a limit.  Moderation is key, and if you are not doing camera work (umm…that’s “in-front”of the camera) then we all should stear clear of a potentially “blinding” smile.  So here are a few safe and effective ways to get that picture perfect smile.

Whitening Toothpastes

  • will lift superficial stains, scrubs off the daily residue left by coffee or red wine but won’t get rid of deeper discoloration
  • 5 minutes a day
  • $3.50 – $20 per tube

Halogen Lamp

  • most effective procedure to get noticeably whiter natural looking teeth
  • can take up to an hour and a half (Repeat once a year)
  • Approx. – $600

Custom-fit Trays

  • will get your teeth about as white as the lamp will, but the peroxide will not penetrate as deep
  • two visits to the dentist for molds and then two weeks of wearing the trays (Repeat every 6 mos.)
  • Approx. – $400
