Teeth stains may be common, but that doesn’t mean you have to tolerate their presence. In fact, erasing teeth stains is simple enough that many companies provide over-the-counter (OTC) products designed specifically to do so. However, OTC bleaching products are not as effective as professional treatment, and in many cases, they fail to make a noticeable impact on the most common teeth stains. To guarantee that it works, your best option is to visit your dentist and opt for professional teeth-whitening treatment.

No Substitute for Professional Teeth-Whitening

OTC teeth whiteners, such as whitening strips and gels, have become a substantial market because of the frequent desire for a brighter smile, not because of their effectiveness. In order to be sold in supermarkets and pharmacies, dental health and hygiene products must be significantly diluted to make all products safe for everyone. At your dentist’s office, we can design a safe, professional-strength teeth-whitening treatment according to your unique needs, beginning with a thorough examination to ensure that teeth-whitening is the right option for your teeth stains.

Make the Results Last Longer

In addition to professional-strength treatment, visiting your dentist for your smile’s needs also comes with the added benefit of keeping your smile brighter for longer. By attending regular checkups and cleanings at least twice a year (or as often as your dentist recommends), you can prevent stains from developing for longer. During your routine visits, your dentist can also more easily spot when it may be time for a touchup, allowing you to keep your smile consistently bright for life.
