TEETH WHITENING FOR A BRIGHTER SMILE



If you are embarrassed about stained or discoloured teeth, now could be the perfect time to give them a brightness boost. Teeth whitening treatment, when carried out by a dentist, is a fast, safe and effective way to add some sparkle to your smile.
Depending on the option you choose, teeth whitening can take from two weeks to just one hour. It’s the perfect way to improve your smile before a special occasion – a job interview, business presentation 
At MS Dental Kovalam, our skilled cosmetic dentists offer two options for teeth whitening treatment: home whitening and in-practice power whitening. The best option for you will depend on your individual needs, preferences and budget – your cosmetic dentist will talk you through both options at your teeth whitening consultation.
Option 1: Power whitening
Power whitening takes place here at the dental practice. Your dentist will protect your lips and gums with a barrier and will place special whitening gel on your teeth. A lamp is used to activate the bleaching process – all you need to do is sit back and relax for an hour. When treatment is complete your teeth will look several shades brighter.
Option 2: Home whitening
Your dentist will create special light-weight plastic trays that will fit your teeth precisely. You need to put a small amount of whitening gel in the trays and wear them overnight at home for approximately two weeks. The result will be a brighter, whiter smile.
Remember that teeth whitening should only be carried out on the direction of a qualified dentist. Products available online or on the high street are unregulated and unreliable – unlike products offered by dentists, which are tried, tested and safe.

How Often Do You Need a Teeth Cleaning?

How Often Do You Need a Teeth Cleaning? Most people (and most dentists) are misinformed as to how many times during the year they should get their teeth cleaned. Almost no one, except periodontists and some better-educated dentists know what the basis for setting the timing of cleanings. The truth is that 80% of the population either has or is going to get periodontal disease, which is a disease of the gums and bone that leads to gum recession and bone loss. Periodontal disease is known to cause heart disease, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis and premature birth and diabetes, among other illnesses. WHEN TO GET PROFESSIONAL TEETH  CLEANING So how often should the average citizen get their teeth cleaned and why? Long-term studies show that for patients who are treated for periodontal disease will maintain their health best if they had their teeth cleaned every 12 weeks. Most practices for most patients will push that out to 14 weeks because we don’t follow a lunar cal...

Top 5 Benefits of Dental Implant

In an ideal world, you would never lose any of your teeth to decay, injury, disease, or another form of dental damage. Unfortunately, many people deal with the reality of missing teeth every day.  At MS Dental Kovalam we strive to provide the most advanced, effective cosmetic and restorative treatments. That’s why we offer  dental implants . These are titanium posts inserted into the jawbone, where they fuse with the existing tissue to form a stable foundation for a variety of restorations, from crowns to dentures. In the following blog, we describe the top five benefits of dental implants. 1. They allow you to keep your healthy teeth intact. Getting a traditional crown or bridge placed typically requires modifying otherwise healthy teeth just so the prosthesis can anchor to them. This is unfortunate because it involves shaving down perfectly undamaged enamel and increasing oral health risks for these teeth. Dental implants can easily replace single teeth or securel...
