Pennington Family Dentistry

Would you like to restore the gleam of your smile? When your pearly whites have gone yellowish or dingy gray in color, youll be glad to know there are many ways to bring back the white color of your teeth.

With age, our teeth gradually loses its luster. Blame it on the food and drinks we have. Add to that are the lifestyle factors such as tobacco use. To stop the discoloration further, you can use over-the-counter teeth whitening solutions to bring back the bright smile you once had.

Common DIY teeth whitening products come in the form of toothpastes, mouth rinses and strips. With chemicals and abrasive compounds, these oral care items can remove surface discolorations through regular use. However, these solutions are only limited to removing superficial stains or at least lighten the color of stained, yellow teeth. On the other hand, deep stains may require a dentists help.

Teeth Whitening Strips and Mold

These virtually invisible, thin strips are coated with peroxide-based whitening agent that can get rid of the stains on teeth. Wearing them for a couple of minutes each day for a week or two and youll see significant results. Strips are very convenient and easy to use.

As an alternative to strips, you can wear a whitening kit laced with carbamide peroxide gel. Simply apply this chemical agent on the teeth mold and wear it for about 30 minutes every day. It can actually remove the coffee stains.

Whitening Toothpaste and Mouth Rinse

Ask your dentist regarding over-the-counter toothpastes and rinse. These products contain abrasive agents that removes the discoloration without changing the natural color of your teeth.

Teeth-Whitening Remedies That Are Available at Home

Not interested in over-the-counter, chemical-based whitening products? You can use age-old remedies like baking soda to restore the luster of your smile. Eating apples, celery and pear can stimulate saliva production, which is a crucial teeth-cleansing mechanism.

Patient Reviews

I wished I had tried this dentist office sooner. Everyone there are very professional and knowledgeable. I was looking for a new dentist and I found Dr. Ana and I could not be more satisfied. My confidence in her was well placed. I would hope that every dentist was this good. I had a problem with my teeth for awhile. Two others dentists did not mention it to me but she was able to see what my problem was right away. It is now fixed and I couldn’t be more pleased with the work she did.

Dr. Ana is a fabulous dentist. Recently I had extensive dental work on my front teeth. Prior to the start of work she took an impression and made a temporary piece that looked natural. I am extremely happy with the final result. She is meticulous and caring, a great combination. The office staff is professional and courteous. I have been a patient at Pennington Family Dentistry for over 30 years.

Great staff! Been here a couple times already and they are efficient and they take the time to get to know you. Spent years in a large practice before this but never got that personal experience you want with a doctor or dentist. Would highly recommend this practice.

Professional friendly staff. Always feel comfortable and welcomed here. Dr. Bernie treat patients with attentive care and respect. Michele is so helpful and kind. Charissa is the best hygienist and her injections are the least painful ever.

I have been a patient of Pennington Family Dentistry for over 40 years and cannot say enough complimentary things about the professionalism of the entire staff. From the front desk to the hygienist to the doctors, each delivers superb and comfortable care. I highly recommend PFD to all those who seek dental care.

My wife and I have each visited PFD several times now, and we both have been consistently impressed with each of the staff, who have all been very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough.
