Unfortunately, few people are born with naturally white teeth, not to mention that many enjoy foods and beverages that don\u2019t exactly make their pearly-whites so pearly (think coffee, red wine and dishes like yellow curry). In response to the popular demand for a white smile, the number of whitening products on the market has exploded in recent years, including countless whitening toothpastes that promise dramatic results. But do they deliver? And can you simply use one of these toothpastes instead of getting teeth whitening in Newark? Below, you\u2019ll learn more about both of these choices and find out which one might be right for you!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Is Whitening Toothpaste Effective?<\/h2>\n<p>Whitening toothpaste is great for removing superficial surface stains, but it won\u2019t actually change the color of your teeth. A great analogy is a wall that was painted an off-white color many years ago\u00a0but has since been stained with fingerprints, grease and scuff marks.<\/p>\n<p>You can scrub the wall clean to give it a much cleaner, brighter appearance. But to change the color of the wall to a brighter shade of white, you have to re-paint it.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, with consistent use, a whitening toothpaste will remove all the stains that sit on top of your teeth and help them appear brighter and whiter &#8211; but it won\u2019t actually change the shade of your smile.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, one thing that whitening toothpaste <em>is <\/em>great for is <em>maintaining <\/em>your results after professional whitening!<\/p>\n<h2>How Is Professional Whitening Different?<\/h2>\n<p>In many cases, patients will spend money on several over-the-counter whitening products without getting the result they hoped for. Many people have a deeper level of discoloration or staining, so whitening toothpaste or strips don\u2019t provide them with the results they\u2019re after. That\u2019s where professional whitening treatments come in.<\/p>\n<p>A professional whitening treatment works on the deeper layers of your teeth and will make them 6-10 shades whiter. That\u2019s because professional-strength gel is much stronger than any over-the-counter whitening product since the FDA limits the concentration of whitening ingredients in these products.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a professional gel is used in conjunction with custom-made trays so that it\u2019s snugly in contact with every part of the teeth. These two factors, combined with the professional oversight of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteclaydental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">cosmetic dentist in Newark<\/a>, mean that a professional treatment will give you the results you\u2019re after &#8211; the first time!<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p>As a general and cosmetic dentist in Newark, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteclaydental.com\/meet-dr-bond.html\">Dr. Donald Bond<\/a> loves to help his patients achieve the smile they\u2019ve always wanted. He\u2019s found that whitening is one of his most popular cosmetic procedures because it\u2019s fast, easy, and delivers fantastic results.
