As the kids head back to school and the entire family falls back into a more familiar routine, it gives us as parents a chance to sit back and savor a fresh start for all. Kids start the year with a new teacher, new friends and the excitement of what is to come. Wouldn’t it be great if we could look forward to a bright new year in much the same way as the kids? A year filled with much anticipation and marked by new beginnings?
Laser Teeth Whitening Treatment
If you are looking for a way to start the year off right for yourself and one of the things on your wish-list has always been a brighter smile, you are in luck. Now is the perfect time to treat yourself to a laser teeth whitening treatment – a surefire way to brighten your smile. The best part about this cosmetic dental treatment is that it is super simple to do and offers dramatic results.
If whiter teeth are on your list of must-haves for the coming year, all you need to do is to make one short visit to your dentist’s office. During this visit, your teeth will first be professionally cleaned, just as they would when you go for any routine dental hygiene appointment. Then your gums will be protected before a light-activated whitening agent is applied to the enamel of your teeth’s surfaces. After application, a laser light will be used to activate the active ingredient in the agent applied to your teeth and within minutes, your teeth will be dramatically transformed.
The in-office laser whitening treatment offers the most dramatic whitening results in the shortest amount of time as compared to other types of tooth whitening treatments. Of course, with this convenience and the impressive results comes a higher price tag than most other types of whitening options, but most people that have undergone the treatment feel that the extra price is worth the benefits the treatment offers.
If you prefer a DIY technique to whiten your teeth, you have a number of other options to consider. For the most effective results, you can ask your dentist about a take-home whitening kit that provides you with a stronger whitening agent than what you can find in over-the-counter products. With this kit, you wear a mouthguard filled with a whitening agent on a regular basis over the course of several weeks. The kits will produce noticeable results, but will not provide you with the instant gratification you can get from walking out of a one-hour in office whitening treatment.
There are also a number of options you can purchase over-the-counter, although the results they offer are far less impressive than what you can get from your dentist. Strips, gels, toothpastes and mouthwashes are all available, with varying levels of effectiveness but nothing near the dramatic results that require a stronger concentration of whitening agent as found in a professional whitening treatment.
Back to school time signals a new beginning for the entire family, and if you are looking to treat yourself to a year that starts off with a whiter and brighter smile, consider talking to your dentist about a professional teeth whitening treatment.
