If you are considering over-the-counter teeth whitening systems, dental professionals uniformly agree that a pre-consult with your dentist is critically important. The purpose for the consult is to consider your overall dental health and to discuss the pro's and con's of OTC solutions vs. in-office whitening treatment.
It is entirely possible that you need not invest in teeth whitening treatment. Your regular dental cleaning may very well be all that you need. At home teeth whitening treatment can be harsh on the gums, therefore a quick check by your dentist to ensure your mouth is ready to tolerate the treatment is well advised. Also, and very important, your dentist will know if any OTC teeth whitening systems are flagged for concerns and can warn you away from those products.
Should you and your dentist ultimately decide that it is best to use in-office teeth whitening, our professionals at Oyster Point Dentistry use the state-of-the-art BriteSmile teeth whitening system. This system is proven safe and effective. This is true for two main reasons. First, the treatment is governed by your trained professional dental team. Second, this specially formulated gel utilizes UV light to activate the whitening ingredients. This is widely known to be the most effective approach to teeth whitening and is proven effective in a single treatment.
