Take-Home Teeth Whitening

A white smile is something that is truly priceless. Many people feel more confident after they get a proper teeth whitening procedure. They get the joy that comes along with being able to smile without feeling self-conscious. Teeth whitening is one of the simplest cosmetic procedures that you can get. You can even whiten your teeth at home.
If you are interested in getting teeth whitening in Ottawa’s own Upper Hunt Club, then you will need to contact our Dental Centre. Your dentist will design a custom tray to fit your mouth. You will also get whitening gel that you can take home. You will simply need to put the tray in your mouth and leave it there for the recommended amount of time.
The amount of time that you need to keep your whitening tray in your mouth depends on the strength of the whitening gel. Your dentist will give you specific recommendations about how long you need to wear your whitening tray. Some people wear the whitening tray a few hours a day while others wear their whitening tray overnight.
Teeth whitening is extremely safe. You most likely will not have any side effects. However, many people develop tooth sensitivity after they use the whitening gel. This is something that is temporary and will go away within a few days. Your gums may also become irritated if they come in contact with the whitening gel. Make sure that you wipe excess gel from off of your gums. Let your dentist know if you have any problems with the whitening gel.
The amount of time that the results last can vary. However, if you care for your teeth, then you can expect the results to last from six months to two years. Brushing and flossing will help you maintain the results of your whitening treatment.
