The Importance of a Whiter Smile

There are few things more attractive than a warm, dazzling smile. However, if you have yellowing or discolored teeth, you may be reluctant to display them. If you are self-conscious about your smile, it can damage your self-confidence in many situations. Unsightly teeth can be more than just a cosmetic issue. They can affect how you are perceived in social and professional situations. The good news is that there are treatment options available. A San Jose cosmetic dentist can help you achieve a beautiful smile.

The Advantages of a More Attractive Smile

Those who smile more often are usually perceived as friendly and approachable. Those who smile frequently may also inspire more trust in professional settings. Smiling helps to create a relaxed atmosphere and make others feel comfortable around you. In addition, the act of smiling itself has been shown to have positive effects on your own mood. The most appealing smiles are broad, open-lipped smiles which reveal the teeth.

Whitening Treatments for a Lovelier Smile

For effective, long-lasting tooth whitening, consult a professional dentist. The dentist will first examine your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy. For the treatments to be effective, a dental hygienist must first remove any plaque, tartar or superficial stains. There are then two main treatment options available. The dentist may recommend an in-office whitening procedure, using a laser or light-based technology, such as Zoom!. Alternatively, custom-designed whitening trays for use in combination with whitening gels may be an option for you. The trays and gels should be prescribed by a dental professional.

Aftercare to Maintain the Whiteness of Your Smile

To keep your smile white, you should follow a consistent dental hygiene regimen. Brush twice a day and floss at least once a day. Sonic toothbrushes are particularly effective stain removers. Avoid smoking and abstain from foods and drinks which may stain teeth, including tea, coffee, and cola. Visit your dentist regularly to prevent the build-up of tartar or staining. With a little care, you can achieve and maintain a stunning smile.
