There are going to be some obstacles that you come up against if you decide that rather than selecting professional teeth whitening with us (or even from the drugstore, which we do not recommend), you decide to try some do it yourself (DIY) ideas. Maybe you figure if you would just make your dental hygiene better or try out some things you’ve heard about, you could end up with a much lovelier, snowy looking smile. However, those obstacles we just mentioned are quite real. Curious about what the problem might be, since you are so sure you can whip up a whitening solution on your own at home? Our Conroe, TX team is happy to explain why this isn’t your best bet.
#1: Brushing Won’t Whiten Enough
You may figure that you can just brush your smile whiter. You figure that you don’t need teeth whitening because what you really need is to just clean your smile better. Truth be told, if you become better about brushing (because you’ve been lax lately), then you may see the very slightest of improvement. However, those stains you see that make your smile not so bright are deeper down into your tooth tissue. No amount of brushing and no whitening toothpaste is going to lift them. What all of that aggressive brushing may do if you’re not careful? You can upset your gums, end up with a sensitive smile, and all without the dazzling results you want. See our team soon for cosmetic care, rather than trying to do it on your own, so you quickly arrive at a brilliant finish.
#2: Abrasive And Acidic Ingredients Will Harm Your Smile
One thing is certain: You don’t want to end up requiring restorative care as a result of simply trying to whiten your smile. However, if you are deciding to go the “I can do it myself” route with your teeth whitening, then it’s actually possible you could be looking at a need for fillings, crowns, or other care down the road. Why is that? Well, remember that the ingredients in most of the DIY solutions you found out there will either be acidic in nature (like lemon juice) or will include some kind of ingredient that abrades your teeth. Essentially, you will be removing part of your dental tissue, which is not what you’re actually aiming to do.
