Teeth Whitening for School Portraits

Now that it’s back-to-school-season once again, one of the things that students look forward to in school, aside from seeing their friends after the break, is posing for school portraits and taking new batch pictures with their classmates and friends.

School portraits serve as a timeless memento of your student’s milestones and a way of keeping memories for a lifetime. That’s why so many students make sure they look their best for the cameras. That includes making sure that you have a beautiful white smile.

Teeth whitening is the answer

If you want to have a perfect smile for your school portrait, tooth whitening is the answer. While Photoshop can whiten your teeth in your pictures, it won’t give you the confidence to smile beautifully when you pose in front of the cameras. Only a pearly white smile can give your teen a confidence that will transcend your pictures.

What is teeth whitening?

Tooth whitening is one of the most common procedures done by dentists. Tooth whitening is used to lighten the color of the teeth, especially those with yellow, brown or gray tones. It is used to remove stains on the teeth commonly caused by drinking coffee, tea or red wine and smoking tobacco.

In-office teeth whitening

There are two kinds of whitening systems available, one is in-office tooth whitening and the other is at-home tooth whitening. Between the two, it is highly recommended to undergo in-office whitening since the process is supervised by dentists. A dentist-supervised tooth whitening procedure is more beneficial because:

Your dentist knows your dental history, so he can examine your teeth to if it’s okay for your teeth to undergo a whitening or bleaching procedure.

Your dentist can safely determine the best treatment and/or type of tooth whitening necessary for your teeth.
In-office tooth whitening is more effective and has better results so you’re sure to get your money’s worth from it.
Your oral health is safe because your dentist knows what he’s doing and can minimize any potential side effects.

Maintaining your beautiful smile

With tooth whitening, you not only get a beautiful smile for your pictures, but the right treatment and maintenance plan afterwards can also help your results last for up to three years.

You can maintain your teeth whitening results by:

Avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks, especially a few days after your tooth whitening procedure.

Practicing good oral hygiene which includes brushing your teeth with a whitening toothpaste for short periods in between whitening treatments. Undergoing follow-up teeth whitening treatment at least once year.
