I like the story of the little boy who was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that would have to be filled. "Now, young man," asked the dentist, "what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?" "Chocolate, please,"

What is tooth whitening?
It is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. "Whitening" of the teeth can enhance a smile by a simple procedure utilizing a custom fabricated bleaching tray and a safe, dentist dispensed whitening agent. Dr. Mike employs a patented, safe whitening agent which will remove most stains with a gentle sustained release action that will oxidize (bleach) your teeth. Your tooth structure remains unchanged. Most patients wear the bleaching tray, with the whitening agent in it for about 2-3 weeks. Some difficult darker stains may naturally require longer treatment.
What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include aging, consumption of staining substances (coffee, tea, colas, tobacco), trauma, tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, nerved degeneration, old restorations, old fillings, tooth nerve damage, or trauma to teeth.
Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
Almost everyone. However, there are some cases where the treatment may not be effective. A dentist may determine viable candidates for the process through a thorough oral examination and diagnosis. The tooth lightening system is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like to have a whiter, brighter smile. MORE...

GETTING ENOUGH FLUORIDE?
Adults and children who rely on bottled water, or who use a home water filter, may not be getting enough fluoride. Fluoride is found in tooth pastes, mouth rinses, canned goods, and other products where fluoride is present - naturally or as a water additive. The American Dental Association says relying solely on these other sources "is not an effective or prudent public health practice." The International Bottled Water Association recommends that customers talk to their dentist or doctor about supplements if they're concerned about fluoride deficiency. Be aware, though, that too much fluoride can be bad for teeth, too. For more information related to fluoride visit our Fluoride Page.
