    Britesmile appt next week teeth whitener
    Hi. I am nervous about all the negative reviews I read online about brite smile teeth whiteners. Should I go and spend $399? I need to whiten my teeth for I have been smoking consistently for almost a year. I am ashamed of my tinted teeth. I plan to stop smoking after I get the procedure done.any suggestions? Thank u.

    I'm not too familiar with that brand of whitening procedure. ZOOM is one that is well recognized and has been around for a number of years now.

    If you are going to go ahead with the whitening you should have your teeth professionally cleaned to remove all of the extrinsic (surface) stains first (and not the day of the procedure). Brush with a desensitizing toothpaste(Sensodyne)up to 2 weeks before having the whitening done as this will reduce any sensitivity you may have during or after the procedure.

    This type of whitening (any type of whitening unless you have porcelain veneers placed) is not a one time procedure. You will have to do regular touch ups at home or have the procedure repeated. This will depend on your habits such as smoking and coffee/tea/red wine/cola consumption.

    Good luck.
