Family Dental Care Park Ridge

The weeks just seem to fly by so quickly lately and here it is Word of Mouth Wednesday again.  Last week’s video blog challenged you to share your definition of a sexy smile and the responses were great.  There was a definite common thread among the various definitions…it seems that most people think that white teeth help to create a sexy smile.  So, it seemed intuitive to me that a good follow up to last week’s video would be to talk about whitening your teeth.

In this video, I will be discussing the various options that you have when it comes to whitening your teeth…from toothpaste with whitening capabilities all the way to power bleaching at the dentist’s office.  There is a great deal of flexibility in whitening your teeth and each of us has different needs and expectations of the outcome so, the best thing to do is to talk with your dentist about the product that will work best for you.  At Family Dental Care Park Ridge, we sit down with the patient who is interested in bleaching to help them determine the best option for their needs.  The products that we use in the office are safe, effective and easy to use.  At the end of this video, if you have any questions regarding bleaching or want to give it a try (it’s really fun and the results are awesome), please give our office a call at 847-692-6800 and we would be happy to help you.  We absolutely LOVE helping people obtain whiter teeth for that sexy smile.

1.) BRUSH REGULARLY – It is recommended that we brush our teeth twice a day and for TWO MINUTES at each brushing.

2.) FLOSS DAILY – Flossing helps to remove the plaque between the teeth that the toothbrush can not get to and this helps to prevent gum disease.

3.) VISIT YOUR DENTIST – Visiting us for the recommended twice yearly checkups will help to find tooth decay, gum disease and oral health potential problems.

4.) EAT A HEALTHY DIET- Including plenty of dairy or calcium rich foods like sardines or kale in your helps to maintain strong bones and teeth. Avoiding sticky sugary foods is also very important. Make sure to drink water throughout your day as well.

5.) DON’T SMOKE OR USE SMOKELESS TOBACCO- People who smoke are four times as likely than nonsmokers to have gum disease. Using smokeless tobacco increases the risk for oral cancers including lips, tongue, cheek and gums.

6.) WHITEN TEETH- You may think that the benefits of whiter teeth are only cosmetic but not only are the whitening products offered by our office safe and effective – patients who whiten their teeth are more apt to take care of their new pearly whites and so oral hygiene can improve.

7.) CONSIDER COSMETIC PROCEDURES- Your smile is the first thing that people see when they meet you. Having stained, crooked or broken teeth can affect your level of self confidence. We have made so many great advancements in dentistry that it is possible to fix most cosmetic problems. Talk to us at FAMILY DENTAL CARE about your cosmetic concerns and we will be there to help you.
