Whitening Toothpaste
Have you ever considered whitening toothpaste as an alternative to the professional whitening treatments of our Lynnwood dental clinic? If you have, you may want to think again. Not only can no at-home product truly replicate the kind of treatment you can get with an in-office whitening, but so-called “whitening” toothpastes may in fact be doing as much harm as good.
If you have a whitening toothpaste in your cabinet, take a close look at the label. It’s probably telling you that it whitens your teeth “by removing surface stains”.
This essentially means that it’s doing the equivalent of blotting the red wine off of your carpet before it settles into the fibers, which is all well and good until you realize that you’re still stuck with the wine that has already soaked in.
Teeth Stain Removal
To remove actual, deep-rooted stains, you need powerful agents that cannot be delivered in toothpaste form; bleaching agents in toothpaste get rinsed away too quickly to do any good, and ultimately only serve to make your paste surprisingly abrasive. Do the right thing for your teeth, and have them whitened in a professional setting.
