Tooth whitening methods
There are a few different methods of bleaching your teeth, one of the most common is in-office laser bleaching system. This method enjoys wide popularity because the effects will be noticeable immediately after treatment. You can also opt for at-home treatment options, as long as these are used under the supervision of Dr. Mortensen, however the effects will take much longer to become noticeable. Some of these will work in 2 weeks, while others take up to six weeks. You can discuss your options with Dr. Mortensen when you schedule an appointment with us. It is important to talk to Dr. Mortensen before going ahead with any tooth whitening treatment as certain options may be better for certain types of stain. Contact Andrew G. Mortensen, DDS, Inc. in Fountain Valley today at (888) 432-9506. Read more about teeth whitening:

Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
