Dental Tooth Whitening for the New Year -Start the New Year with a bright smile -Miami Dentist

Start the New Year with a bright smile with a dental whitening. Below are the steps to achieving the brightest smile with teeth whitening.

 

1. Your dentist will first examine your teeth and gums and discuss the procedure best suited to your individual needs. Any cavities or gum problems must be treated before bleaching can begin.

2. The in-office method generally takes one to three hours and results in an immediate noticeable change.

3. For the at-home method, special molds will be made of your teeth, used to make custom-fitting flexible trays holding the bleaching gel comfortably in your mouth.

When you get your bleaching trays, you'll receive instructions about wearing them. These must be carefully followed. Only the materials provided by the dentist can be safely used.

4. Generally, the only side effect from treatment may be some sensitivity to hot and

cold foods. If this occurs, sensitivity normally disappears within 48 hours.

5. After completing the treatment, your teeth will be checked by your dental provider

to discuss the results.

6. Smile. Your teeth will radiate a bright new look!

Five Tips to Help You Maintain a Healthy Holiday Smile from Miami Dentist Dr. Bloch

It is possible to enjoy seasonal sweets and still have a cavity-free smile to flash in festive pictures. These tips will keep your teeth healthy during the holiday season.

Remember to Brush at Twice a Day

With the busy holiday season it is sometimes difficult to remember to brush. Holiday parties and special dinners with the family are great, but always remember to brush.

Avoid Too Much Candy – Little is better

It's the most wonderful time of year for candy canes, popcorn balls, and cookies -- and this nonstop buffet of sweets can wreak havoc on your teeth. Instead of constantly snacking, try eating a single dessert and brush your teeth after.   

Smart Snacking

Make sure you use a nutcracker, not your teeth, to shell nuts. No nutcracker? Choose a different snack. Is it worth it to break a tooth for a nut?

Keep Your Dental Routine

The holidays can upset your schedule, but you should still brush at least two times a day. To keep up good habits on the go, stash a toothbrush and mini tube of toothpaste in your purse or briefcase and make time to "freshen up" after meals. If brushing your teeth isn't an option, chew sugarless gum, which boosts saliva, helps flush out food debris, and more.

Keep Your Dental Appointments

Skipping a dental exam could get you on the naughty list. It is much better to catch problems now and not put them off until the new year.
