Citrus Heights Dentists Recommend a Healthy Diet

By John Corey


If you are so concerned about the appearance of your discolored teeth that you have a hard time smiling, but don't know what to think about all the teeth whitening options of which you've heard, don't give up. With the help of your Citrus Heights dentist and a few teeth whitening tips, you'll be able to clear up many of the misconceptions and decide if there's a teeth whitening procedure in your future.

The first of the teeth whitening tips is that while teeth whitening can be expensive, it doesn't have to be. And when you consider that a 1998 survey indicated that 85% of those questioned believed an unappealing smile would make them less attractive to the opposite sex, teeth whitening may be cheap at twice the price.

By checking out the website of the dentist, it is possible to learn a lot of useful information about the dentist. You could find out more about their qualifications, training and experience. It is also possible to read testimonials from patients and see before/after pictures of patients. This can help you assess the expertise of the dentists in your area. Regardless of the research you have done, before choosing a dentist, it is important to interview the dentist and if possible, visit the dental facility. Do not forget to write down all the questions you need to discuss with the dentist. You might want to find out the location of the dentist's office, the availability of the dentist, any fees and expenses, the procedures offered and more.

The third of the teeth whitening tips is that if you do experience any of the rare side effects, like heightened tooth sensitivity, you can simply halt the treatments for a few days until the problem passes. If the sensitivity returns, follow your treatments by brushing with toothpaste especially made for sensitive teeth; their irritated nerves will soon quiet down.

All that aside, there is one thing that most people neglect to say when it comes to consumables which are healthy for the teeth. That one thing is water, the universal solvent, seventy point nine percent of the Earth's surface and vital for all form of life on the planet. Water produces saliva and washes the oral cavity. By mixing with saliva, water sets down minerals into the teeth and keeps it hydrated. It also washes out food particles from teeth. Only a good Citrus Heights dentist will tell you that.
