Are you tired of looking in the bathroom mirror every morning and being greeted with a stained and unsatisfactory smile? If so, you should consider teeth whitening to help you achieve a brighter and whiter smile. But did you know that summertime is actually the best time to undergo this sort of treatment? Here are three reasons why you should talk to your dentist about undergoing teeth whitening this summer.
#1. Look Good for Summertime Photos
There’s usually a lot going on during the summer—everything from graduations, vacations, and weddings to backyard cookouts and poolside shenanigans. And with all these activities and events comes camera flashes! To impress the photographer, your family, and your friends, you should ensure that your smile looks as bright and white as possible. Professional teeth whitening is the best way to do this.
#2. Plenty of Time to Make It Happen
Typically, summertime allows for much more flexibility when it comes to making plans and scheduling appointments—especially dental visits! When it comes to teeth whitening, there are two main approaches used: in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits. An in-office appointment takes roughly an hour or so to complete, which should be very easy to plan during those long summer months. And take-home kits work gradually over the course of a week or two, which you can likely fit into your summertime schedule. These results will last throughout the entire summer and beyond, too—between six months and three years!
#3. Huge Boost to Your Confidence
Your smile is one of the very first things that people notice when they look at you, so knowing that it looks its best can give you plenty of confidence! Teeth whitening can drastically improve the shade and appearance of your teeth, and people will admire the gorgeous new glow of your smile. The immediate impact this will have on your confidence is noticeable—it’ll sometimes be hard to stop smiling!
There are probably plenty of things you’re planning to do this summer, but you should include having your teeth whitened on your to-do list. The impact that a bright and beautiful smile has on both you and those around you is simply too good to pass up!
