Is teeth whitening safe?

Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic procedure to enhance your smile’s brightness. When performed under professional supervision, it is considered safe and effective. Dr. Kahng offers several professional whitening options tailored to individual needs. These include KöR® Whitening, known for its ability to lift even the toughest stains, Glo Whitening® for a quick one-hour refresh, and Opalescence® Take Home Syringes.

Should I get a cleaning before I get my teeth whitened?

Before undergoing teeth whitening, it’s advisable to have a professional dental cleaning. A cleaning removes surface stains, plaque, and tartar buildup, which can interfere with the whitening process. At Orange and Magnolia Dental Studio, Dr. Joyce Kahng emphasizes the importance of routine visits for regular checkups and cleanings as the cornerstone of a healthy and stunning smile.

How often should I brush my teeth?

According to your dentist and the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth at least twice daily. Brushing keeps your teeth, gums, and mouth clean and healthy by removing bacteria-causing plaque. You should also use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride when you brush your teeth.

How often should I see the dentist?

Children, teens, and adults should see the dentist for a regular checkup at least once every six months. Patients who are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be required to see the dentist more than just twice a year. Your doctor will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular checkups.
