In today’s time crunched society it can be easy to neglect our teeth. Besides brushing and flossing, there are a few steps you can take to keep your pearly whites shining.
Lana Manibog, of Carte Blanche Mobile Teeth Whitening, gave Pasadena Now some advice on how to keep your smile shining.
First of all, home whitening products are not the solution. “Whenever you whiten your teeth, whatever you use, minerals are extracted from your teeth. It’s a byproduct of teeth whitening. So these whitening strips and these take home kits, they don’t offer a solution for that,” she said. Carte Blanche uses a mineral gel to replenish minerals in the teeth, which keeps your teeth strong and healthy.
Be diligent and rinse. “To me this is one of the best ways that we can all maintain our whitening results after having a whitening treatment. This simple and effective tip ensure that food and drinks don’t “sit” on your teeth for longer than necessary. It’s a good idea to rinse after drinking coffee, black tea, acidic beverages and red wine.
Manibog recommends getting teeth professionally whitened every 6, 9 or 12 months. “It just depends on your preferences and what you’re goal is. Tooth porosity and habitual staining agents are also a consideration . With professional whitening, you do it once and then not think about it until you’re ready again.” Many people choose to get their teeth whitened before big events, like weddings, proms, holidays, job interviews or whatever it is that you have reason to celebrate; look and feel your absolute best, gain confidence, smile a little bigger!!!
Give it a try. Manibog wants to dispel the idea that whitening is a painful or scary process. “ If done correctly there aren’t really any risks. …It’s not going to damage tissue or enamel, and only a small percent of clients experience any sensitivity, and if so it is mild and tolerable. Manibog also finishes with a mineral gel applied to the teeth for a healthier mineral balance post whitening and for desensitizing.
Relax. In fact many people are so comfortable and relaxed that they fall asleep during the hour-long procedure. Manibog is mobile and travels to you, the client, and she also will do whitening parties at people’s homes and offices. “What’s truly enjoyable for me is that It forces people to relax, put their phones down and lay still so when you put somebody in that space, they just relax and fall asleep. It’s awesome,” she said. My clients enjoy the rest and love the results!!
