Tooth whitening has become one of the most popular dental procedures in Texas. It seems that everyone in Fort Worth is whitening their teeth to help their smiles look younger and brighter. Many consumers in the Fort Worth area are turning to over-the-counter solutions to whiten their teeth, however their can be dangers and pitfalls to this approach.

Here is some basic advice on tooth whitening from Mitch Conditt DDS:

First, we encourage you to visit our cosmetic dentistry office in Fort Worth before starting a tooth whitening system. It is a good idea to have your teeth checked and analyzed before starting a tooth whitening program. Tooth whitening is not for everyone, and depends on your dental history.

Dr. Conditt at Mitch Conditt DDS can help you determine whether your teeth can be whitened safely and effectively. We can also recommend tooth whitening solutions that will work best for you. Mitch Conditt DDS is a good place to start for this important decision.

There are many pitfalls to be aware of when whitening your teeth. Over-the-counter teeth bleaching products available in the Fort Worth area will provide varying degrees of effectiveness on your teeth. If used improperly, tooth whitening solutions can cause problems including tooth sensitivity, over whitening, damage to your tooth enamel, and irregular coloration. Whitening too much can even have a reverse effect, making your teeth look gray.

Most tooth whitening product manufacturers recommend that you visit your local Fort Worth dentist when things go wrong with your over-the-counter tooth whitening solution. We recommend you begin with the caring professionals at Mitch Conditt DDS to get started with a tooth whitening solution that will give you the best tooth whitening results.

If you are like most Aledo web users, you have probably seen the multitude of ads for ‘free teeth whitening kits’.

Some show a ‘real Weatherford mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Aledo dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing tooth whitening testimonial. They bolster their legitimacy by aligning themselves with respected companies such as CNN, USA Today and Forbes.

Unfortunately, most of these are rip-offs. In a recent article, the Better Business Bureau explains the scam:

The countless Web sites for various tooth whitening products claim to offer a no-risk, money back guarantee, free trial of the product. To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping. Complainants to BBB state that they are billed before their trial ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.

Complainants also may find mystery charges for other companies and services that they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their ‘free’ trial.

The BBB has received complaints about the following company/product names:

• Dazzle White
• White Smile
• Teeth Smile
• Dazzle Smile
• Ivory White
• Max White
• My Whitening
• Gleaming White Smile
• Advanced Wellness Research

Don’t trust your smile to an internet scammer. Your Aledo tooth whitening dental office is the only place for safe teeth bleaching. You don’t want to take a chance with your credit card number or your tooth enamel! Call us at Mitch Conditt DDS for advanced cosmetic dentistry and worry-free tooth whitening.

What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Fort Worth?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Fort Worth. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Fort Worth dentists who offer professional in-office teeth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most Fort Worth cosmetic dentistry practices also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Mitch Conditt DDS, we offer safe and effective teeth bleaching. Our Fort Worth cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at 817-737-5155.  We provide service to patients in the Fort Worth, Aledo, Parker County, and Weatherford areas.
