It is more and more wide-spread that we turn to a dentist, not just in cases when we have a decayed tooth that has to be filled or the pain forces us to visit a dental surgery, but in cases when we would like to have a kind of aesthetical correction. The most popular treatments are the whitening ones because within a short amount of time and without any pain we can have a bright smile which influences our appearance and self-confidence in a positive way.

At the dentist all your questions on safe tooth whitening will be answered and during the treatment your teeth will be really whiter and nicer without any pain and risk.
You can do a lot for the impeccable condition of your teeth if you go to medical check-ups in every six month.
The natural colour of our teeth are largely influenced not only by our genetic predisposition but our way of life as well. The pigment granules of the tooth enamel and dentin are becoming darker and darker and this process is expedited by the consumption of certain drinks and dishes. With time, bacteria create a pellicle on the surface of the teeth and between them, which will finally solidify into dental calculus. In order to preserve the white colour of our teeth it is worth decreasing the consumption of such colouring drinks as coffee, tea, red wine and dishes and drinks with high sugar content. Smoking can cause ugly yellow spots and caries within a short amount of time not to mention its several health destroying effects- bearing all these in mind it is not so difficult to give up smoking.
Dentists always try to emphasize the significance of regular and properly performed tooth brushing because with this method we can prevent the hardening of plaques and we can preserve the result achieved during the treatments. Oral hygiene is founded by a three-minute tooth brush twice a day, by using a dental floss and a mouth rinse. Since in our mouth there are a lot of bacteria not only our mouth but our tongue as well have to be cleaned. We can clean our tongue with a proper tongue scraper.
The experts do not forget about giving advice on how to care about our teeth at home after treatments. They choose those special products in a personalized and problem-specific way which treat the unpleasant results of sensitive teeth or bleeding gums. Do not forget about changing your toothbrush regularly because the used bristles can scratch the surface of the teeth and they inhibit perfect cleaning.
There are a plenty of false home-made practices circulating on the Internet which in a good case are harmful but in worse cases they can even cause harm. Treatments with acids damage the tooth enamel and their effect cannot be controlled. Coconut oil is a common basic substance among the whitening materials with natural compounds. We can use it for rinsing or even tooth-brushing because it has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect. Although it does not replace but supplements basic oral hygiene and professional medical whitening.
