Here at Ritchie Dental Group, we approach all your dental needs from two separate angles—what we can do in our dental office and what you can do at home.
For example, tooth whitening and correcting discoloration can be treated in our office or at home. Here in the office, there are safe and effective methods for whitening yellowed or stained tooth enamel. At-home whitening techniques are also safe and effective and sometimes less expensive. Additionally, we counsel you regarding food and drink choices that can influence your whitened smile. Be aware of staining agents such as coffee, tea, tobacco, and soda.
We understand that eliminating these items altogether is not an easy lifestyle change. Nor do we expect it. Awareness and precaution can make a big difference. Rinsing your mouth out with water after drinking a dark or sugary beverage can cut down on the contact your teeth have with it and help neutralize the acids. Prolonged exposure to sugar can lead to buildup of plaque and tartar and prolonged exposure to staining substances can negate the results of teeth whitening. If you are interested in making improvements to your smile and creating a more confident appearance for your professional career or personal relationships, please pick up the phone and contact the extraordinary staff at Ritchie Dental Group today 830-693-8833.
