What is Zoom! Whitening? Is it painful and would it make my teeth sensitive?
Whitening your teeth can be one of the easiest things that you can do to improve the quality of your smile. Our office offers the most reliable teeth whitening products on the market today. Using the Opalescence Boost and Zoom! in-office tooth whitening systems, a hydrogen peroxide based self-activating gel is applied to your teeth over four 15-minute sessions during one convenient appointment. This is then followed by a brief fluoride treatment. In just a single visit, you can improve the brightness of your smile by up to 10 shades! Very few patients experience tooth sensitivity following the procedure, and, with touchups and routine care, the effects of both whitening systems can last indefinitely.
Which toothbrush do you recommend for daily brushing?

Brushing and flossing are two of the most important steps you can take to achieve optimum oral health. Not only do brushing and flossing keep your teeth clean, but done together they can actually add years to your life by eliminating dangerous bacteria that lives around your teeth. Recent studies have found that this bacteria causes infection that can spread into your blood stream and cause heart disease. So for a clean mouth and a happy heart, we recommend that you brush at least twice a day and floss at least one time per day.
