In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when sparkling white teeth might be the difference between getting a job or that promotion, more and more Americans want to look and feel great. But can there be too much of a good thing when it comes to teeth whitening? Dentists everywhere are reporting a spike in patients' complaining about irritation and bleeding gums, translucent teeth and excessive teeth sensitivity, especially to cold food and drink items.
There are two main types of home teeth-whitening products, including tray-based systems, in which a tray filled with beaching solution is worn over the teeth - or whitening strips. If you're considering using a tooth whitening product containing bleaches, however, the American Dental Association recommends that you visit Dr. Blourchian at New Image Dentistry first.
We offer two types of teeth whitening procedures at Dr. Blourchian’s Franklin practice: a take-home bleaching kit and Zoom!® In-office teeth whitening. Each is designed to remove stains and discoloration on the teeth, giving patients a bright, white smile.
