A beautiful smile can go a long way. It can help you meet new people and make new friends and contacts. It can help you feel more confident and assertive during a job interview, presentation, or an important meeting. In essence, having a great smile will simply make you feel better about yourself and this will be easily perceived by others.

Having the perfect smile though doesn’t mean you just need to have straight, impeccably aligned teeth. Your teeth should have the flawless sheen of whiteness as well.

The good news is that if you want to have a better and more dazzling smile, teeth whitening is one of the quickest, safest and most affordable cosmetic procedures out there. In a short amount of time in the dentist’s chair, you can transform your smile and instantly look fresher and younger.

Preparing For A Teeth Whitening Procedure

 
Although there is an abundance of DIY teeth whitening products today such as special toothpastes, ampoules, home kits with equipment, whitening trays, etc., the quickest, safest, and most effective process is still an in-office procedure. This means that you have to go to a clinic for cosmetic dentistry to undergo a teeth whitening treatment.

To help you prepare for a teeth whitening procedure and make sure the process goes well for you, below are some tips you should follow:

• Set a convenient schedule for the treatment. Don’t just a find any time pocket in your schedule since it can be hard to estimate how long the treatment will take because this depends on your teeth’s present condition. The procedure will not take hours, but you don’t want to hurry your dentist because you have another appointment to get to – you may not get the best results and experience if you hurry the whole process. 
 
• Use a desensitizing toothpaste every time you brush prior to the procedure. Your dentist will ask you to switch to a desensitizing toothpaste to reduce the sensitivity of your teeth during the treatment. These toothpastes will block the pores that act as pathways to the nerves that the heat and chemicals used for whitening will penetrate, and cause pain.

• Get an oral prophylaxis.
Before the actual procedure, your dentist will clean your teeth thoroughly to get rid of plaque and other nasty things that cannot be flossed and brushed away. Dental experts recommend that you schedule this procedure about two weeks before the whitening treatment.

• Finally, if you are worried about the pain that comes with this treatment, ask your dentist if you can take some painkillers. Find out from your dentist which medications are safe for you to take since some pain relievers tend to make gums more sensitive and prone to bleeding.
