One of the most prevalent cosmetic problems that we see is the accumulation of extrinsic enamel stains. In short, this means that the surface of the teeth can become discolored due to repeated exposure to foods and beverages that contain staining agents. While common culprits include red wine, coffee, and tobacco use, even healthy foods can be powerful stainers. Raspberries, beets, and other nutritious fruits and veggies are often full of colors, which can leave lasting reminders on your teeth.
Our office knows that stains can hold your smile back. We also understand that the time is running out to whiten your teeth with at-home methods. If you want to remove your problem stains, talk to our office about coming in for a speedy in-office session with Philips Zoom! teeth whitening. These visits typically last just over an hour, helping you to experience a more beautiful smile in a hurry. Freshen up your smile so you can be ready to see your family for the holidays.
As the end of the year draws closer, it can be a wakeup call, as well. Patients need to see their dentist at least twice each year for their routine preventive maintenance, and if you’re realizing that you missed your appointments, then you are falling behind. A thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth and along your gumline can help you to feel and look your best, so freshen up with a biannual checkup before the holidays.
Since the end of the year typically means the end of this year’s dental insurance, it’s your chance to use your benefits. Take advantage of this opportunity to come in for a cleaning and an examination. Finding your way back to a positive schedule of prevention starts with a checkup.
Your smile starts the conversation. Take the time to freshen up before the holidays with our team, and discover all of your cosmetic options while you’re here. To find out more or to schedule your next appointment, call your local Dallas dentists at (972) 458-2464 today.
