What About Over The Counter Whitening Solutions?

People often ask us about how well over the counter teeth whitening solutions work. Some of the OTC teeth whitening solutions work better than others, which is to be expected. We believe that no OTC teeth whitening solution can match the results that we can give you with a professional teeth whitening treatment.

Take-Home, Professional Teeth Whitening

At Andersen Dental we offer take-home professional teeth whitening solutions. Simply call us at 360-335-3251 and schedule an appointment for teeth whitening. During your appointment, we will sit you down and take an impression of your teeth. Using this impression, we will craft custom trays that will fit over your teeth. These trays will be used to hold a special whitening solution that we will give you. All you have to do is wear the trays twice a day for a few hours at a time, or overnight and in a few weeks time, you will have brilliantly white teeth.

Keeping Your Newly Whitened Teeth Beautiful

Just because you whiten your teeth doesn’t mean that they will stay that way indefinitely. Just like all parts of your body, you have to maintain it to keep it looking great. Stay away from things that are well-known to stain teeth. Food and drink that are known to stain teeth include:

• Coffee
• Red Wine
• Berries
• Soda
• White Wine
• Tea
• Acidic foods (citrus, tomatoes)

Staying away from food and drink that are known to stain teeth can help your teeth stay white for longer. Other things that you can do to help you sustain the whiteness of your teeth include:

• Brush at least twice a day
• Floss at least once a day
• Brush a half hour after meals
• When you can’t brush, rinse your mouth with water
