Your Dentists Recommendation

For the best results possible, your dentist will recommend dual whitening. Dual whitening is when you do both the in-office whitening and purchase a take home whitening kit.

In-office whitening is great because its high powered, while take home whitening's benefit is the amount of time spent. For the best results your dentist will recommend that you do both procedures in the following manner:

1. Purchase a take home bleaching kit.
2. Take it home and use it for 2 weeks.
3. After using it for 2 weeks come into the clinic for an in-office whitening.
4. Continue using your home whitening kit everyday for another 2 weeks.
5. Then come back for your second in-office whitening session.
6. At this 1 month mark you will see a considerable change in the color of your teeth. However the important part from this point is to maintain this color. As you have been given 3 home whitening gel tubes you are more than likely half way through your second tube. Continue using your home whitening kit everyday until the second gel tube is empty.
7. The secret from here is not to whiten everyday but to stretch that last tube out by whitening every other day for a week, then every three days for a week, and then just once a week for as long as the tube lasts.

By following the above dentists recommendation will you find the best results when whitening your teeth. To an extent, your teeth will return to its natural color minus stains. As a result it is important for you to maintain your new color by occassionally whitening after your initial treatments whether its in office or gradually at home.
