\"woman<\/a>During the gray, dreary winters of the Pacific Northwest, it seems like everyone could use a little extra brightness in their life. But you don\u2019t have to drive to California to get a dose of dazzle! The gleaming glory of brilliant teeth can boost your confidence and improve your mood even when you\u2019re trying to get through another day of Washington drizzle. However, not everyone fully understands teeth whitening in Lacey<\/a>. We\u2019ve decided to uncover some common myths behind this treatment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Myth #1: Whitening Harms Tooth Enamel<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s be real here \u2014 do you think your dentist would offer any treatment that poses a significant danger to your oral health? Some people are under the mistaken impression that whitening works by removing enamel, revealing the whiteness underneath the stains. That\u2019s simply not true. The layer of your tooth underneath the enamel is yellow, so removing enamel would only make your teeth look worse.<\/p>\n

Whitening uses bleaching agents to break up and remove stains. The process might cause your teeth to be a bit more sensitive, but that side effect doesn\u2019t last long. Overall, whitening is a very safe treatment.<\/p>\n

Myth #2: Professional Whitening Is Permanent<\/h2>\n

If you take care to maintain your whitened smile, it can stay looking great for years to come. However, it won\u2019t retain its brilliance forever. That\u2019s because as you age and go about your daily routine, habits like drinking coffee and snacking on berries will gradually stain your teeth. Plus, enamel develops countless little micro-cracks as time goes by, making it possible to see the yellow dentin underneath it.<\/p>\n

If you want to keep your gleaming grin forever, you\u2019ll need to perform whitening touchups from time to time.<\/p>\n

Myth #3: Tooth Whitening Works for Everyone<\/h2>\n

Many people are great candidates for professional whitening. However, the process doesn\u2019t work for everyone. Whitening agents tend to work best on yellow or brown stains. If your teeth have a slightly gray color, whether that is due to age or certain medications, you\u2019re unlikely to have a successful whitening procedure.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also good to keep in mind that if you have tooth-colored fillings or direct bonding on any of your teeth, the whitening treatment won\u2019t affect these.<\/p>\n

Myth #4: You Can Get Satisfying Results with OTC Products<\/h2>\n

Some over the counter products, like toothpastes and rinses, are effective at removing stains \u2014 but only the stains on the surface of your teeth. Other products, such as whitening gum, are basically useless if you want to improve the look of your smile. The best way to get a dramatically brighter smile is through a professional treatment from your cosmetic dentist in Lacey.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe all the propaganda out there about teeth whitening! Know the truth about this treatment so you can be an informed consumer while you\u2019re trying to achieve a smile that turns heads wherever you go.<\/p>\n
