Teeth Whitening Myths Uncovered

October 15th, 2009

woman smile“We live in a material world, and I am a material…boy.”  Thanks in part to TV, internet, billboards, and magazines, physical appearance has become the initial way to measure a person’s worth.  As bad as it sounds, first impressions are based on looks, and studies show that the shape and color of a person’s teeth are qualities that receive the most attention. 

With that said, teeth whitening still reigns supreme in cosmetic dentistry because it’s easy, affordable, and produces drastic results.  Yet, only 15% of the population has tried it, and the misinformation on the subject is widespread.  Read on for answers to your frequently asked questions, and the facts to disprove all myths.

Is Gum Good for Your Teeth?

October 16th, 2009

gum picDon’t tell the school teachers, but YES! 

Two ways chewing gum can aid in the cleaning of teeth:  1)  Gum actually mechanically cleans teeth as you chew, and 2) Gum acts to promote saliva which can decrease the bacteria, decrease acidity, and remineralize teeth. 

So, let me back up – Bacteria in the mouth produces lactic acid which causes a demineralization (cavity) of enamel – and gum helps fight all three!

Tell me more about Deep Bleaching!

Low Sensitivity Deep BleachingWoman teeth

What You Need To Know

There is no one-visit “fast” bleaching technique today that makes teeth the very whitest they can be.  The Deep Bleaching technique was developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, combining and modifying several techniques; and is regarded as the most effective teeth whitening technique known today.  Dr. Kurthy’s Evolve Dental Technologies, Inc. Deep Bleaching products have been specifically designed to be used with his Deep Bleaching Technique, achieving the renowned Deep Bleaching results, but with much less of the common sensitivity and pain associated with other bleaching gels.  The Deep Bleaching technique gets teeth significantly whiter than ever.  Patients who previously were unable to bleach as white as they would have liked (because of “bleaching resistant teeth” or acute sensitivity) can now bleach significantly whiter.
