Teeth Whitening

Here’s a riddle from Endres Gateway Dentistry in Cincinnati: what do you call a dentist who doesn’t like tea? Why, Denis, of course.

Lame jokes aside, a common concern for patients is stained teeth. In this blog post, we’re going to talk a little bit about a common cause of tooth staining: dark beverages including tea.

Over time, tea can stain the plaque that may eventually turn into tartar. Plaque can be brushed and flossed away. Daily oral hygiene is crucial.

Between cleanings, rinse with water after drinking tea. Be sure to brush and floss all surfaces of the teeth at the end of the day.

If the color of your teeth is still unsatisfactory after a professional cleaning, you may want to consider teeth bleaching. We offer KoR teeth whitening, in both take-home and in-office versions. Both are fast and effective ways to brighten your smile.

Professional teeth whitening is just one of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer at Endres Gateway Dentistry in Cincinnati. Patients come to us from Loveland, Blue Ash, Montgomery OH, and the surrounding area. Schedule an appointment today!

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures we provide at Endres Gateway Dentistry in Cincinnati. It seems everyone is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter.

Many individuals are turning to over-the-counter products to whiten their teeth. These can be effective, but come with certain drawbacks.

Here is some basic advice on teeth whitening:

First, we encourage you to visit our office before starting a whitening system. We can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend whitening products that will work best for you.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening products will provide varying degrees of whitening. If used incorrectly, they can lead to issues like sensitivity, over whitening, spotty coloration, and even damage to your tooth enamel.

Avoid Problems By Seeing Endres Gateway Dentistry First

We recommend you talk to us at Endres Gateway Dentistry before beginning any self-treatment. We’ll discuss the various whitening systems and check your teeth to make sure you will get the best possible tooth whitening results.

There won’t be a hard sell, but we can also talk about professional teeth whitening. We use KoR whitening, a highly effective teeth whitening system. There is an in-office treatment that can transform your smile in one office visit, and a professional-strength take-home kit you can do at your convenience, and will deliver results that are superior to anything available at the grocery store.

Teeth whitening is just one of the cosmetic dentistry services we offer at Endres Gateway Dentistry. We serve patients in the Montgomery OH, Blue Ash, and Loveland areas. Schedule an appointment with us today.

If you decide to whiten your smile with a professional teeth whitening treatment, you want the results to last as long as possible. Unfortunately, the same things that stained your teeth prior to the treatment can stain them after the treatment. Over time, common staining will transpire. To help slow down that process, Endres Gateway Dentistry offers helpful tips to make your brilliant smile last.

Do’s

First, rinse daily with anti-cavity rinse. This improves dental hygiene, cuts down on bacteria, slows the build up of plaque, and also helps whiten your teeth. Additionally, there are many over-the-counter rinses with an additional whitening agent which will help prolong the results of the whitening procedure.

Don’ts

There are some daily practices to forego because they will stain your teeth over time. These include drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine, smoking, and even some medications. If you cannot totally cut these out of your life, rinse your mouth out after you use them.

Avoid acidic foods and beverages. These can weaken or wear away the enamel on your teeth, and eroded enamel allows the yellow dentin to show through.

Artificial coloring in any foods and condiments can stain your newly whitened teeth. Candy, popsicles, and fruit punch are examples.

Remember the Basics

We probably don’t need to remind you, but brushing your teeth properly a couple times a day will help you keep your white smile. You may choose a toothpaste with extra whitening or baking soda to help the process. Proper brushing should take you at least two minutes using short brush strokes, paying close attention to the gum line and hard-to-reach areas. Clean the outer surfaces of your upper, then lower teeth, as well as the inner surfaces. Finally, don’t forget the chewing surfaces and your tongue. Using good brushing techniques for 120 seconds will improve oral hygiene, and permanent stains will not build up as fast.
