January 23, 2018 by Florence Dentistry

teeth whitening

From teenagers to the older person, everybody desires to possess whiter smile. Your smile is one among the primary things an individual notice regarding you, and a cleanly bright smile indicates health, vigor, and in fact, the beauty of the person. With every decade that we have a tendency to age, our teeth will rise from 1 to 2 shades darker by contacting Ottawa dentist experts. The color pigments within teeth become extra outstanding because the dentin structure below the enamel grows. So you should take into account the enamel to be like semi transparent glass, with the dentin structure shining through beneath. Genetic science plays an oversized role within the darkening of our teeth extrinsically and as such, however environmental factors, oral hygiene, and nutrition additionally contribute to the white shade of our teeth.

 

There are two categories of tooth staining:

  • Extrinsic (external) staining – Its common causes are smoking, serious consumption of tea/coffee/red wine and poor oral hygiene.
  • Intrinsic (internal) staining – which may result from trauma (such as a fall), excessive halide exposure, or medication.

Below are the top ways by which you can get perfect white teeth:

Go to your local dentist

The Ottawa Dentist will make your teeth super-whitened in no time or it takes an hour and with correct care, you will maintain your excellent white teeth for a minimum of one year, however, the sole unhealthy issue stays with you. As it is not going to be cheaper as this is done by a dental professional.

Use teeth whitening gel at home

Whitening kits essentially assist you to get constant super-white teeth results you’ll get during a medical workplace. You have to use the gel kits for extended periods of your time and insert the kits in your mouth for hours is also uncomfortable for you. However, teeth lightening gel kits measure a true sensible possibility if you cannot afford a medical procedure.

Use tooth whitening pens

Your teeth will only get few shades lighter with tooth whitening pens because unlike going to a dental professional, using a gel kit or crest white strips. The solution used in tooth whitening pens does not stay directly in contact with your teeth long enough. As before breakdown, it has no major tooth whitening effects. Tooth whitening pens should be used to maintain your super white teeth. You can be whitened them easily by brushing teeth, visiting dentist Ottawa, using gel kits and/or crest white strips.

You can use Crest White strips

Crest white strips are a good alternative for you. If a medical procedure or employing a tooth change of color gel kit is too expensive, but using Crest white strips might take up to fourteen days to get the super white teeth you want.

Here are some tips that would make your teeth stay white & never got easily yellow again…

  • Don’t drink something that may stain the teeth like dark sodas, cola, red wine, coffee, teas, and cranberry juices. Always bear in mind that something that may stain a white shirt also will stain your teeth.
  • Avoid acidic foods or drinks like soda, sugar stuffed snacks, candies, tasteful waters and sports drinks that’ll simply build your teeth yellower by eating away the white enamel on your teeth and if you want to have these acidic foods or teeth staining drinks.

Toothpaste –Which is the right one for you, and how do you decide?

When there are hundreds of toothpaste brands and types as you walk down the oral health care isle in your local pharmacy, how do you know what to choose? I will discuss the types of toothpastes available, and tips on how to pick the right one.

Back to the basics: What is in my toothpaste?

–          Abrasive agents: used to gently remove plaque biofilm effectively, as well as light stain

–          Flavouring: artificial sweeteners are often used to ‘flavour’ the toothpaste, leaving a refreshing taste in your mouth, enticing you to continue brushing on a regular (2x/day) basis

–          Humectants: this ingredient is often added to prevent the toothpaste from drying out

–          Detergents: that foaminess that comes from your toothpaste comes from a detergent that is added [Read more…]

Ottawa Zoom Whitening

Ottawa Zoom Whitening

Are you looking for a new look? Try in-office Zoom Whitening for your teeth. This is a procedure that is done at Florence Dentistry.

Discoloration in tooth enamel can easily occur due to drinking coffee, tea, soda, red wine, smoking, and even due to aging. Zoom whitening is a process that lightens the enamel on your teeth which results in a white and shiny smile. The process is quick, easy, and effective. The process takes 45 minutes and leaves you with teeth that can be up to eight shades lighter than before.

Zoom whitening starts off with a preparation that includes covering the lips and gums. The teeth are left exposed, and ready to be whitened. The dentist will then apply the Zoom whitening Gel and will shine a Zoom light on the teeth. This allows for the discoloration stains on your teeth to be broken up. The light stays on for fifteen minutes, and after these fifteen minutes the gel is taken off and a new one is re-applied. The gel is applied a total of three times for fifteen minutes, resulting in an overall 45-minute process. [Read more…]

    Updated Review Monday January 15, 2018 ******************************************** Yesterday I had yet another visit to Dr. Lysik and this was another absolutely amazing experience! I had a root canal and of course I was wide awake during the procedure! I've gone through much of my life as avoiding dentists because of a very unpleasant experience as a very young child! I would water until a simple cavity became an extraction! Then, I would go to an oral surgeon and be put to sleep! Then, a couple of years ago I came to know Dr. Lysik and long story short, I became her patient! She is caring, sensitive and makes one feel most comfortable! I put my trust in her and without disappointment! In conclusion, I highly recommend her to anyone and especially to those whom have a dead of dentists! ????????read more

    Prior to going to Florence Dentistry I hadn't seen a dentist in 10 years, and only ended up pulling the trigger on in once a tooth was causing me daily pain. I was very nervous about the whole experience, but they were all extremely warm, welcoming and professional. After the first teeth cleaning session the pain was gone, and after a few more visits Dr. Pershad my cavities were filled as well. It's a tremendous relief not worrying about the health of my teeth anymore. I couldn't recommend their services more highly.read more

    I came to this dentist office after my dentist passed away. It was a blessing to find. Dr. Lysik is a dentist from a true vocation and I trust her advice completely. The work of the staff is exceptional: very careful, educating the patient and full of sincere care. The lady in the front is wonderful. I very strongly recommend this dental office, it is a treasure.read more

    I am seeing Dr Edit Lukacs Dragoi for 2 years now, and I had my first repair (2 things) this week. I wanted to write a rewiew because I was very impressed. She is the most attentive dentist I have ever met. She is very gentle and I feel that she is a great human been. I like her a lot.read more

    been here today for the first time after *YEARS* without seeing a dentist (Shame on me!). I was here for a cleaning. I have to say I am a VERY anxious person and I really do not feel comfortable when I go to the dentist's; however, my experience here was AMAZING. My dentist's name was Celia (if I spelled it correctly) and she was very delicate, understanding, and she put me at ease from the beginning. I actually am looking forward to the second part of my cleaning next week. Also the lady at the front desk was super friendly. I really recommend this place!read more
