Statistics Show You Could Lose That Job Interview—Consider Professional Teeth Whitening And Make Sure It Doesn’t Happen To You

Your Appearance Matters, But the Good News is You Can Do Something About It

Did You Get That Last Job Interview?

Did you know research shows having whiter teeth could put you above another qualified candidate? It’s true, individuals with whiter teeth are more confident, which means they are more likely to be hired. Is this “tooth discrimination” or the fact that those who keep their smile whiter give the impression they are healthier and take better care of themselves?

If you see a person who is missing a couple teeth, what is your initial perception of that person? Sadly, most view others with missing teeth, whether in the front or on the side, to mean they do not care about their overall appearance.  That is obviously not the case, but perception wins out time after time. You’ll never know why you didn’t get the job, but there are certainly some simple steps you can take to rule out the obvious first (negative) impression.

Which Person Would You Give the Job To if Their Qualifications Were the Same?

Professional Teeth Whitening

Isn’t Over-the-Counter Whitening the Same as Professional Whitening?

It’s relatively inexpensive to get professional whitening. Yet, people have spent $1.4 billion on over-the-counter whitening products since 2007. The problem is that consumers have no idea these products cannot compare to dental whitening systems that have a significantly stronger whitening solution versus the over-the-counter whitening products.

You’ll actually wind up spending more on over-the-counter whitening products than if you had one visit to your dental professional who uses the best teeth whitening system. Lakefront Family Dentistry offers the strongest whitening system on the market today. In only two weeks, you will see amazing teeth whitening results than months or years of the other brands can offer.

Custom Teeth Whitening Solution

Dr. Hauser will evaluate your oral health to make sure you’re a great candidate for professional teeth whitening. Sometimes, patients are not aware they have a tooth fracture or cavity, and any teeth whitening system could cause unnecessary discomfort. It’s always great to know your oral health is in its best shape before getting a custom solution to make those teeth as pearly white as they can be.

We will make a custom upper and lower mouth guard for your teeth, to ensure the professional strength teeth whitening product reaches all the areas and gets them their whitest. Once your custom mouth guard is ready, we’ll make sure it fits comfortably and provide you with the strongest solution you won’t find over the counter.

In only two weeks, you will see amazing results. So there’s no need to waste hundreds of dollars in stores to get minimal results. Now that you have a custom mouth guard, you can come back once a year and buy the solution to keep your teeth looking new and vibrant!

Tooth Sensitivity

We’ve got you covered. Some patients might find their teeth are sensitive to whitening products. We offer the highest, prescription grade fluoride toothpaste to alleviate this sensitivity. Brushing twice per day with this prescription toothpaste will alleviate any tooth sensitivity.

Kinds of Food and Beverage Stains Teeth Whitening Treats

The outer surface of our teeth is where the enamel resides, and it is extremely susceptible to staining. If you have a diet that consists of certain foods, you could actually accelerate the staining of your teeth.

Do You Eat:

  • Curry Sauce
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Soy Sauce
  • Coffee
  • Wine
  • Tea (including herbal)
  • Acidic sports drinks (go for the water instead)
  • Soda and other carbonated beverages that contain acid
  • Candy
  • Popsicle
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries
  • Cherries
  • Pomegranates

The list goes on and on. If it discolors a white tablecloth or has acid and/or sugar, chances are it’s eating away at your enamel and discoloring your teeth. Drinking beverages through a straw will help keep your teeth away from the product if you can master swallowing so it doesn’t hit those pearly whites.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Just a reminder if you’ve had any crowns, veneers or bridges–professional (and lesser strength products) teeth whitening will not affect these teeth.

Maintenance

Once you have those amazingly beautiful white teeth you’ve always dreamed of, make sure you brush twice per day and floss at least once per day (or after every meal). Try and avoid the foods above or make sure you brush immediately following any sugary or acidic foods. This will help avoid the erosion of enamel and staining. Come back each year for a checkup and use the professional teeth whitening product for the best results year after year.
