Top 4 Reasons to Whiten Your Teeth 

We invest a lot time, money and energy to look good. Right from taking some time out for the everyday makeup or the once in a while spa treatments, we do whatever it takes to get that extra shine in our looks. What about getting your discoloured teeth whitened, for that perfect smile of yours, which would definitely enhance your looks further. We all know a brighter smile is an important aspect of looking attractive. Here are 4 reasons why you should whiten your teeth.

1. To look more Confident

Your confidence isn’t just restricted to your looks. The way you feel about yourself, exudes confidence to your personality as well.  When you whiten your smile, you feel amazing with your new shine in the smile, making you feel more capable and confident, with an attractive smile.

While improving on your self esteem doesn’t seem easy, whitening is your quick fix way to see a big change and feel happy about how you look and carry yourself.

2. Get a Complete Makeover

Your smile is one of the first things that a person notices about you and reveals a lot about the kind of person you are. So, you need to be absolutely sure that you're giving the best impression of yourself with a brighter smile. With a confident smile, people around you will also respond well.   

3. Enhance Your Social and Professional Performance

Flashing a big wide smile with your shiny pearly whites, can make a great deal of difference to the people whom you communicate with. If you are not comfortable with your smile, you are less likely to smile and laugh, which makes the people around you think that you are holding back. They can tell when you’re not feeling your confident self and will make a note of it. 

So why not flash those perfect white teeth and bring in some bright attitude to go with it? Whitening your smile, could considerably change the way you behave within your social and professional circles. A whiter smile will make you more confident and you’ll discover a whole new you that is ready to take charge and make things happen.

4. Project a Healthy Appearance

So you are a healthy person. It is equally important that you look healthy on the outside as well. A whitened smile, will definitely communicate the message of a healthy body and of your general well-being. 

So, now you know how getting your teeth whitened can completely transform your personality and help you in making a great first impression, always!

For heavily stained teeth, a procedure as simple as a scale and polish from a dental hygienist can significantly improve their appearance and make them look "whiter".

What are the different types of teeth whitening available?

Most dental practices offer two types of whitening:

·         Laser / in-surgery Teeth Whitening

·         Professional home whitening kits

Laser Tooth Whitening:

Laser tooth whitening or in-surgery whitening is a procedure that takes place at the dental practice and uses a light-activated bleaching gel to whiten your teeth. The procedure usually takes  approx 1 -2 hours and produces instant whitening results.  Many dentists recommend that laser whitening should be followed up by professional home whitening.

Suitability for whitening:

Many people are not suitable for teeth whitening and a dentist will assess your suitability during a consultation. If you have gum disease or other dental health problems, you may not be suitable. The teeth whitening process does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings so it is important to understand that you may need to change these to match the colour of your whitened teeth.

How much whiter will my teeth look?

This varies from individual to individual, and also depends on the type of whitening system used. Some people respond very well to teeth whitening and have dramatically whiter teeth as a result, whereas others may notice very little difference at all. People with heavily stained yellow teeth tend to have more dramatic results than those with slightly discoloured teeth.Your dentist will be able to advise you on the likely results following a consultation.

Does it hurt? What are the side effects of teeth whitening?

Some people experience no pain or sensitivity with their teeth. However, the majority of people will experience some kind of sensitivity either during and/or after the initial treatment. This is usually described by patients as sporadic, sharp shooting pains coming from their teeth. This should settle down after approximately 48 hours though. Your dentist may give you a special gel or mousse to apply to your teeth to help with the sensitivity. It is advisable to avoid hot or cold food and drinks within the first 48 hours of your whitening treatment.

Which teeth-whitening brand or system is the best?

There are many different brands of professional teeth-whitening systems, each claiming to provide the best results. The most popular systems are Zoom!®, as featured on Extreme Makeover, Opalescence® , BriteSmile® and the latest Enlighten system. Each system has its pros and cons, and your dentist will be able to advise you on which system would be best suited for your teeth.
