A recent study on Valet Magazine’s website reports: Study: 58% of people more likely to be hired after teeth whitening According to a recent study commissioned by Match.com, good teeth are what women “judge men on most” when first considering a romantic relationship, while independent research firm Kelton Research “found that 58% of a study’s participants were more likely to be hired and 53% received larger salary offers after their teeth had been whitened.”
Citing the advice of dentists, the article goes on to advise on methods to whiten teeth, including visiting the dentist for a professional whitening treatment. Although there are many products over the counter that attempt to whiten the teeth, the most successful result is still achieved by having the dentist evaluate the mouth, fabricate professional bleach trays and monitor the process. It usually is more economical by the time you try many over the counter products. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call our office.

Thinking of Bleaching?
Prophylaxis Prophylaxis (“Prophy”), is a big, difficult‐to‐pronounce word that describes a relatively simple process. Most people know it simply as “teeth cleaning”. What exactly does a professional “teeth cleaning” accomplish? First, it removes or minimizes tobacco and other stains, giving you a more attractive smile. Secondly, it removes calculus, the hardened deposits of plaque that irritate the gums and can cause periodontal (gum) disease. Untreated periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. Third, clean teeth make it easier for us to spot problem areas when conducting an exam. Everyone needs to have a prophylaxis done on a regular basis. The best way to make sure your teeth are cleaned often enough is to visit our office regularly. Please ask us if you have any questions. We’ll be happy to answer.
