The short answer is yes.

Teeth whitening products work by using carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide which get deep into your tooth enamel and break apart the staining compounds. Neither of these active ingredients will damage your enamel in the ratios used in whitening products today. In addition, professional whitening products go through a ton of clinical studies and are reviewed by the American Dental Association.

Some patients experience tooth sensitivity and gum irritation from whitening but these symptoms quickly subside. Fluoride can help with both of these symptoms as well as protect tooth enamel.

In the days leading up to February 14th, I always get caught up in Valentine’s Day excitement and anticipation.

Then in the blink of an eye, its over. My chocolates have been devoured and my flowers are wilting.

This year, A Perfect Smile is offering you an opportunity to make the most of Valentine’s Day. Treat someone you love to a specially designed teeth whitening gift basket. Not only are the baskets a fun surprise, but your loved one will enjoy a beautiful smile long after the holiday is over. Each gift basket includes a teeth whitening gift certificate and assortment of festive luxury items. We can custom design one to suit your needs!

But wait! That’s not all!  A Perfect will donate 10% for each tooth whitening gift certificate sold in the Month of February to the American Heart Association in support of National Heart Month.

Happy Heart Month,

Sarah
