Teeth Whitening Quiz
1. True or False: You can brighten your smile from home.
2. True or False: Your Downey dentists offer an in-office procedure.
3. True or False: Professional whitening offers more dramatic results than OTC systems.
4. True or False: What you eat and drink can lead to further discoloration.
Answer Key
1. True. We will create a custom set of whitening trays and prescribe a powerful bleaching solution. Each day, you will fill the trays with gel and wear them for a set amount of time, typically an hour. For optimal results, you will wear the trays for about one to two weeks.
2. True. We actually offer two. The first, ZOOM Whitening, involves applying a bleaching gel to the teeth and activating the ingredients with a special blue light. The entire treatment takes about 45 minutes. The other method involves two visits, in which you wear a gel-filled tray for about two hours.
3. True. While over-the-counter systems are often a little cheaper, they results rarely last as long and aren’t as dramatic. In addition, many people report gum irritation and tooth sensitivity as a result.
4. True. If you smoke, you can leave yellow stains on your teeth. Also, foods high in sugar and other starches can increase the risk of plaque buildup. Plaque often allows to the teeth to become easily stained. Finally, consuming drinks with dark pigments, including coffee, tea, soda, and red wine can lead to teeth stains.
