Are you looking for the perfect Christmas or Hanukkah gift for yourself or someone you love? If you are looking to achieve a brighter, whiter smile, the team at Greenville’s Monroe Family Dentistry can help you with a professional whitening treatment, just in time for the holidays. Our professional-grade teeth whitening treatment gives you the opportunity to whiten your teeth on your own time, in the comfort of your home. Read on to find out how easy it can be to brighten your smile on your own.

What are common causes of tooth discoloration?

One of the main reasons people look to whiten their teeth is because of stains that have caused tooth discoloration. Unfortunately, tooth staining and discoloration is a natural part of life. Teeth can become discolored from natural aging, wear and tear, smoking, and even consuming pigmented foods and drinks. 

Some highly pigmented foods and drinks, like coffee, red wine, beets, and tomato sauce, contain tannins, which can stick to the teeth and cause staining. This isn’t to say you can’t consume these foods and drinks, but it is advised that you limit their intake when you can. Dentists also recommend that you brush your teeth about 20 minutes to a half hour after their consumption (or at least rinse your mouth really well with water) to help eliminate any kind of staining.

Tobacco users are also at risk of tooth discoloration as well as other health issues, like cancer, which makes it another reason to quit tobacco use.

Whitening Solutions from Monroe Family Dentistry

At Monroe Family Dentistry, we offer the Pro-Sys whitening system. This system is a professional-strength whitening solution and custom bleaching product that can be used at home, on your own time.

To use the Pro-Sys system, you’ll be custom fitted for take-home trays in our office. These trays provide a proper fit to allow for the whitening solution to only touch the teeth and avoid touching (and potentially irritating) your gums. Once your trays are made, you’ll be provided with the whitening solution and instructions for use. With the Pro-Sys whitening system, you’ll wear your trays for about an hour a day for five to seven days, giving you the convenience of whitening your teeth on your own time, and in the comfort of your own home.

With the Pro-Sys whitening system, you’ll receive an affordable solution for whitening your teeth in your home, and you’ll be able to see results in about a week.

What are the benefits of a whiter smile?

Along the lines of tooth discoloration, many people look to whiten their smile because it can help boost their self-confidence. Some people may feel self-conscious about having a smile that isn’t as white as it used to be, and they might feel ashamed to smile. With a simple, at-home whitening solution, you won’t have to worry about tooth discoloration or a dull smile.

A whiter smile can also lead to better overall oral health. Once you’ve achieved your brighter, whiter smile, you might feel more compelled to keep up with a good oral health routine, which includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day for a minimum of two minutes each time, as well as flossing daily and using a mouthwash after brushing. A mouthwash can help wash away any excess bacteria that might be left in the mouth, and one fortified with fluoride can also help strengthen the enamel on your teeth, helping them better resist staining.
