Does the Light Enhance Whitening Results?

With so many different whitening options, how do you know what is legit and what is commercial?  Zoom is the forefront in teeth whitening advertising and has become somewhat of the brand - like Coke with soft drinks.  Zoom was one of the first to come out with the light that supposedly enhanced whitening results.

What You Need To Know

There is no one-visit “fast” bleaching technique today that makes teeth the very whitest they can be.  The Deep Bleaching technique was developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, combining and modifying several techniques; and is regarded as the most effective teeth whitening technique known today.  Dr. Kurthy’s Evolve Dental Technologies, Inc. Deep Bleaching products have been specifically designed to be used with his Deep Bleaching Technique, achieving the renowned Deep Bleaching results, but with much less of the common sensitivity and pain associated with other bleaching gels.  The Deep Bleaching technique gets teeth significantly whiter than ever.  Patients who previously were unable to bleach as white as they would have liked (because of “bleaching resistant teeth” or acute sensitivity) can now bleach significantly whiter.

Is Gum Good for Your Teeth?

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

gum picDon’t tell the school teachers, but YES! 

Two ways chewing gum can aid in the cleaning of teeth:  1)  Gum actually mechanically cleans teeth as you chew, and 2) Gum acts to promote saliva which can decrease the bacteria, decrease acidity, and remineralize teeth. 

So, let me back up – Bacteria in the mouth produces lactic acid which causes a demineralization (cavity) of enamel – and gum helps fight all three!
