Dental teeth whitening is one of the more basic procedures in cosmetic dentistry. Who wouldn't want to have noticeably whiter teeth? Unfortunately most of the food and drinks we intake cause discoloration on your naturally white teeth. However, not all patients can undergo teeth whitening. If you have sensitive gums or teeth, our
Saint Lawrence County dentists at Zysik Dental may not prescribe dental teeth whitening, but instead other cosmetic or restorative dental procedures.
At Zysik Dental, we do not encourage the use of over the counter dental teeth whitening products because they do not provide the same quick results as in-office treatments. The safest way to successfully whiten your teeth is to have a proper consultation with Dr. Edmund Zysik, Jr. and Dr. Jonathan Zysik at Zysik Dental located in Saint Lawrence County. Before receiving teeth whitening it is required to undergo a proper cosmetic consultation, which entails a thorough examination of your gums and teeth. Next, our
Saint Lawrence County dentists will check if you have excessive tartar buildup. Tartar buildup needs to be cleaned and treated before the teeth whitening procedure. Of course before getting teeth whitening done, our cosmetic dentists will have to make sure that your teeth are thoroughly clean.

Teeth whitening uses chemicals in order to bleach the surface stains away from your teeth. It's important to be aware of the chemicals often used in teeth bleaching, so that you will not be caught off guard during your appointment. Prior to your teeth bleaching session at Zysik Dental, make sure you are not allergic to hydrogen peroxide or a carbamide peroxide. Additionally, there is also the use of laser as an activating medium that can start the bleaching process. The chemical solutions will have to be left on the teeth for certain period of time to be properly absorbed and sometimes, depending on the severity of the discoloration, reapplication of the chemicals may be necessary. In some situations, there’s actually a limit to the frequency of teeth whitening that can be performed safely and effectively over time.
To keep your teeth their whitest following tooth whitening procedures with our
Saint Lawrence County dentists, follow a few precautions. It is best not to eat or drink any food products that will cause discoloration on your teeth. Some examples of these food and drinks to avoid are tomato based foods, coffee or red wine and even smoking and after teeth whitening is not advised. Also, the dentists at Zysik Dental advise patients to quit smoking to not only improve their health, but keep their teeth white. It has even been advised to eat crunchy fruits and vegetables because these foods can naturally remove teeth stains. To learn other lifestyle and behavioral changes that can affect the health and whiteness of your teeth, schedule a consultation with dental professionals Edmund Zysik, Jr., DDS.
