Store-Bought Whitening Products Are Tempting, But…

At your local drugstore, you’ll find all sorts of teeth whitening treatments you can apply at home.
The convenience and low cost on the front end makes store-bought systems pretty tempting.
But the downside is that you aren’t going to see the kind of results you’re looking for, and you also can’t be sure these take-home kits will be easy to apply in a safe way, either.

A Professional Has More To Offer Your Smile!

There are advantages to trusting a dental professional when it comes to getting whiter teeth and a brighter smile, and here are a couple of them!

*You Get Safer Treatment & Better Results*

Ingredients you find in store-bought whitening kits include whitening agents, but because they’re made for general consumers, you only get a tiny fraction of those chemicals per application.
This makes them weaker than what you’d find with a professional.
But even with a lower level of chemicals in these kits, you can still risk getting the gel on your gums and irritating them unnecessarily. With a professional teeth whitening treatment, you can trust that the application is safe!

*You Have More Options With A Professional*

In our Winnipeg, MB dental office, we believe a customized plan is the way to meet your smile needs and goals.
That’s why we offer options so that you can choose the one that suits your schedule, budget, and lifestyle.
You might want fast results to get ready for an upcoming event like a wedding or class reunion, in which case you may prefer one of our in-office treatments like Zoom! It’s quick and powerful, rendering instant whitening of your teeth several shades in just one appointment.
It also helps you avoid any issues of gum or tooth sensitivity.
Another option is Opalescence, where we carefully apply whitening gel on your teeth so you get great results without risking irritation or damage to your gums.
You can also talk to us about taking home one of our customized kits so you can whiten your teeth on your own time.

Show Your Taste Buds & Gums Some Love With These Foods

The same foods that can be harmful to your teeth – sweets, acidic foods, etc. – can also be bad for your gum health because the same bad bacteria that wreaks havoc on your teeth can also hurt your healthy pink gums.
But we’re not focusing on foods that are bad for oral health in this blog. We’re going to tell you about some foods that you can eat both to enjoy for taste and for the help they’ll provide in keeping your gums healthy.

Onions

While it may seem kind of counter-intuitive since they can change the way your breath smells, onions are actually great for your gums because they help to neutralize bacteria that can harm your smile foundation.

Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms are also great for your gums because they contain antibacterial compounds that can help fight plaque-building bacteria that likes to collect in between your tooth roots and your gumline.

Leafy Greens

Spinach, kale, and other leafy greens are jam-packed with nutrients and minerals that help keep your oral health great. Specifically, they contain large amounts of vitamin C, which boosts red blood cell production and fights inflammation.

Peppers & Citrus Fruits

Like leafy greens, peppers and citrus fruits are full of vitamin C. If you like Mexican food, you could even combine them in salsas and other dishes for a one-two punch!

Most Dairy Products

Milk, yogurt, and cheese are full of calcium, which is great for teeth, as you probably know. But these dairy products also contain a protein called casein which can aid in neutralizing certain acids that are produced by oral bacteria.

Celery, Apples, & Carrots

These fruits and vegetables contain a lot of nutrients, but they’re also great for your oral health because they’re both crunchy and fibrous. Crunchy foods can actually help scrape away other stuck on foods and plaque as you eat them and fibrous foods cause your mouth to produce a lot of saliva which aids in rinsing away food particles.
