Does whitening toothpaste really work? Is it safe?

Whitening toothpaste is generally considered safe for daily use but excessive use could damage tooth enamel. If you're considering using a whitening toothpaste look for a seal of approval such as the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance. This indicates that the toothpaste is effective at removing surface stains and reducing tooth decay. If you're not satisfied with the effect talk to your dentist about more effective tooth whitening options such as Zoom.

Are you brushing enough?

Proper oral hygiene requires about ten minutes of brushing and flossing each day. The typical adult spends two or three minutes a day and kids even less! Try investing more time in your mouth, even if it's only a minute or two extra a day. Your smile is worth it.

Does brushing too hard cause gums to shrink?

"Brushing too hard causes gums to shrink and notch at the gum line". No this is the sign of an overall unhealthy mouth. While firm brushing and abrasive tooth paste can irritate gums, it's not the cause of gaps or "recessions".

Can cosmetic dentistry help avoid a face lift?

Can something be done with cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of the face, opposed to something extreme like a face lift? Yes, when the muscles, jaw joints and teeth work together in harmony, stress in the face is eliminated. The facial muscle tone and the eyes relax, rejuvenating the face.
