🛑 STOP! Don’t book a teeth whitening appointment until you ask these 3 questions.

A bright smile is the goal, but safety is the priority. Not all whitening treatments are created equal! Here is what you need to know before you sit in the chair:

1️⃣ What gel are you using? 🧪 Ingredients matter! Is it professional-grade hydrogen peroxide or a generic solution? The quality of the whitening gel determines not just the brightness, but the safety of your enamel.

2️⃣ How are you protecting my gums? 🛡️ If you’ve ever felt that “zing” or burning sensation, it’s usually because the gums weren’t properly shielded. Professional whitening should always include a gingival barrier to protect your sensitive tissue from the bleach.

3️⃣ How long will the results last? ⏳ This depends on you! Coffee, wine, and lifestyle habits play a huge role. Make sure you understand the maintenance required to keep that smile bright for months (or years) to come.

💡 Ready for a whiter smile without the sensitivity? DM us or call the office to schedule your consultation at Island Dental Associates!
