Every time you walk out your front door your teeth are on display. Smiling, laughing, speaking, and eating in public make you very aware of your appearance. Friends, family, co-workers, and strangers are there to assess your countenance; and you always want to put your best foot forward.
Daily brushing and flossing coupled with visits with your dentist every six months for the thorough cleaning needed to remove plaque and a dental exam will help keep your teeth healthy. But you can take it one step further by asking your dental provider what you can do to improve your smile.
Once teeth are cleaned, your dentist can easily assess your candidacy for teeth whitening. If dental stain or discoloration mars your appearance, custom fabricated whitening trays used in conjunction with the powerful whitening agents your dentist can provide can enhance your appearance quickly and in the privacy of home.
