Get a Whiter Smile in Escondido
Escondido Dental knows that summer is coming up. That means traveling, summer break, and other activities in which you will want to look your best. That includes a beautiful white smile! Over time your teeth may have yellowed or you may have surface stains from drinking coffee, tea or soda. At Escondido Dental we offer fast, safe and effective teeth whitening. This ensures that the bleaching experience is painless, and the results are satisfying.
Reasons for tooth whitening:
· Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
· Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
· Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
· Yellow, brown stained teeth.
What does tooth whitening involve?
This type of tooth whitening usually requires two visits. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic, trays.
At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary. The trays are worn with special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening. It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.

Maintain Your Smile
How long will your white smile last? Depending on how you care for your teeth, the whiteness will last for quite a while. However, drinks like coffee and tea or eating tooth staining foods will diminish your white smile. Since it can be hard to avoid certain drinks and foods, the occasional retreatment is recommended. This will ensure that the smile stays at its whitest for a long time.
