Myths and Truths: Our Pros’ Guide to Teeth Whitening in Plantation FL

In the last years, teeth’s whitening has become more than a popular cosmetic dentistry trend; it somehow turned into a DIY obsession. Doctors everywhere have to face waves of internet-based information regarding the best home remedies used to whiten a person’s teeth. From baking soda to lemon juice and from hydrogen peroxide to teeth bleaching chewing gum people would try just about anything.

The problem is not that these products don’t work at all (although some actually don’t); the problem is your teeth are totally different from another person’s teeth and yours need a tailored approach and a personalized teeth whitening treatment to get the results you want without any side-effects. Today our teeth whitening Plantation FL experts will tackle a few teeth whitening myths and truths.

1. Teeth Whitening Should Come after Teeth Cleaning

TRUE. In order to achieve the best results (white smile, strong dental health) you need to have your tartar, plaque, toxins and bacteria removed from your teeth and gums.

2. There Is no Difference between Whitening Toothpaste and Professional Whitening Gel

FALSE. Whitening toothpaste, chewing gum, or at-home whitening gels do contain a certain concentration of carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, but in fact, these substances have to remain in contact with your teeth for about 20 minutes before you see some significant result. Our teeth whitening Plantation, FL specialists, just like all our professional colleagues also use a Chairside lamp to accelerate the bleaching process.

3. Using a Stronger At-Home Whitening Gel Gets You the Same Results as Professional Gel

Teeth Whitening Plantation FLFALSE. Or at least it’s a half-truth. Indeed, logically, if a gel is stronger it will also have more powerful effects. However, before submitting your teeth to an unnecessary stress, remember that your teeth whitening Plantation FL specialist will first conduct a diagnosis and an oral health history analysis. He will learn if you have teeth sensitivity, gum problems, previous gum diseases, actual teeth issues (cavities, present inflammations etc) or teeth restorations (fillings) – depending on all these factors your doctor will bleach your teeth to achieve perfect results with no side-effects or collateral damages.

“Dr John has been fantastic and I’m so glad that I have someone that I can truly trust with my dental care! I needed a new crown and bridge and couldn’t be happier with the results. They look so natural and perfect for my smile! I’ve also had a whitening treatment in house and was extremely pleased with the results. Their staff are all very friendly and caring, at both locations. I also appreciate how efficient and flexible they are with appointments.”

"I absolutely love this office. Starting from the front desk girls, they are always so friendly. I love having my teeth cleaned by Olga, she’s so gentle and yet so good, makes you want to go back for cleanings more often. Dr John is very nice, and professional. This office is great at educating you when dental work is needed, but never tries to pressure you into getting it done. Thank you for always making me feel welcome and cared for."

The best part is that I never feel pressured to get any work done, I am given my options but also told “ if it doesn’t hurt we can hold off for now.” I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new dentist."

We believe that there are three main considerations that you should be aware of when choosing a dentist.

Does the dentist care deeply about you and your dental health?

Is the dentist skilled enough to consistently provide the highest quality of dental care?

Does the dentist have the team and the tools available to provide you with the highest quality of care?

At JJ Dental our entire team is proud to be able to answer yes to each of these critical questions.
