Teeth whitening from Khanani Family Dental is safe and will not harm your teeth. We use high-quality products and customize your whitening plan to ensure your teeth are not over-whitened or damaged.

It is important to be cautious of over-the-counter, DIY whitening kits, especially those sold online. These kits may contain harmful levels of whitening agents that can cause damage to your teeth and gums if used incorrectly. That is why it is recommended to only undergo teeth whitening under the guidance of a dental professional.

To maintain good oral hygiene, remember to brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day to prevent staining tartar and plaque buildup. It is also important to schedule regular six-month oral exams and teeth cleanings with Dr. Khanani.

Consider incorporating whitening toothpaste and mouthwash into your routine to help maintain results and prevent minor stains on your teeth. Make sure to use ADA-accepted products for safety and effectiveness.

To keep your teeth bright, reduce consumption of staining beverages like tea, coffee, cola, and wine. Using a straw when drinking these beverages can minimize contact with your teeth and prevent stains.

Quit smoking and using oral tobacco products, as they can cause yellowing and brown stains that can quickly ruin your smile after teeth whitening. Invest in your smile and overall health by quitting tobacco use.

Professional teeth whitening offers numerous benefits. You can achieve personalized and predictable results based on the level of staining and desired whiteness of your teeth. Our team at Dr. Khanani will create a customized take-home kit to help you achieve your desired results.

Not only will you improve the appearance of your smile, but you will also boost your confidence. Stained and yellowed teeth can be embarrassing and may make you feel self-conscious in social situations. Additionally, discolored teeth can make you appear older than you actually are and impact your self-esteem.

By choosing professional whitening from Khanani Family Dental, you can feel confident in the appearance of your smile and reverse years of staining and yellowing with a convenient at-home treatment in just a few weeks.

When it comes to whitening kits, there are significant differences between professional take-home kits and over-the-counter (OTC) options. Professional take-home kits are custom-made to fit your teeth and are designed to whiten all of your teeth, while OTC kits are typically one-size-fits-all and may only whiten your front teeth.

Professional take-home whitening is also considered safer than using OTC kits, as many OTC options found online contain high levels of peroxide that can be harmful if not used correctly. Improper use of these kits could lead to permanent enamel damage, gum irritation, or even chemical burns.

For better results, it is recommended to opt for professional take-home whitening kits. If you do choose to use an OTC product, make sure to select ADA-approved whitening products like Crest Whitestrips. ADA-approved products generally have lower levels of peroxide, reducing the risk of damage to your teeth when used as directed.

For the best whitening results, we suggest scheduling an appointment at Khanani Family Dental.

It is common to experience teeth sensitivity during and after a take-home teeth whitening treatment. This sensitivity should not be a cause for concern as it is a normal part of the whitening process. The sensitivity may last for a few days after completing the treatment, but it will eventually go away as you continue to brush your teeth and use fluoride toothpaste to repair and strengthen the enamel.

If the sensitivity becomes too uncomfortable, you can speak to our Rutland dentist about adjusting the whitening process or try using products like Sensodyne toothpaste, Orajel numbing products, or over-the-counter pain relievers to help alleviate the discomfort.
