California Tooth Whitening

In California, tooth whitening can dramatically impact how you are perceived — both personally and professionally. And with something as simple as whitening your teeth to "climb the social/professional ladder", why not do it? At the San Clemente dental practice of Dr. Eric Johnson, DDS, we take great care to ensure that patients feel empowered to feel confident with a stunning smile, and teeth whitening is one of the simplest things one can do to achieve this... or is it?

Simple.  Yes. But as with anything, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. For example, here is a short list of a few "Do's and Don'ts" when it comes to teeth whitening:
DO:
• Brush and floss regularly
• Eat green leafy vegetables and/or a small salad with each meal
• Drink Tea! Green and white teas are great for your dental health as they strengthen your enamel

DON'Ts:
• Drink coffee, black or red 'rooibos' tea (green, white, and herbal are fine). Also other dark beverages, including any type of cola.
• Smoking cigarettes
• Red wine, cranberry juice, and other dark red drinks

And what about Home Whitening options? Many folks hit the drugstore and pick up some convenient whitening strips. Oh No!  A gel-based or strip-based home teeth whitening system is not harmful, but by the same token, it's not the best idea either. Strips are known to leave significant gaps along the inward-curving surfaces of your teeth that won't get white, and it's noticeable. The whitening substance built into the strips can't get where the strip doesn't go, and that includes every surface area between the teeth. Further, gels contain ingredients like propylene glycol which can result in harsh or severely irritated gums, leaving them red and raw. Ouch!!.

Gums, Toothpastes, and Home Remedies might whiten your teeth a shade or two if you use them regularly, but they won't ever work as well as a professional California tooth whitening procedure delivered by an experienced dental expert — like Dr. Johnson and his caring dental Team.
