Dr. Baruffi knows everybody loves a bright white smile, but dentists everywhere are becoming more and more concerned that their patients are reporting more mouth problems due to excessive whitening.
In an age—and culture—where looks matter as much as anything in life, more and more folks want to look and feel great. But there can be too much of a good thing when it comes to teeth whitening. At Southcenter Dental, we offer in-office whitening, the quickest, most effective way to achieve whiter teeth. Our BriteSmile® treatment is simple, relaxing and painless! First, you'll meet with the doctor for a complimentary consultation to answer your questions. And if you are interested in the treatment, the doctor will examine your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy and ready for the treatment. During the procedure, BriteSmile's proprietary gel and blue light treatment whitens your teeth with stunning results.
We also offer at-home whitening (over-the-counter) products and at-home whitening (doctor-dispensed): We offer at-home whitening kits as well. At Southcenter dental, we're here to whiten your teeth professionally and effectively.
Lastly, we'd like you to read this helpful article on teeth whitening.

Ask Dr. Baruffi: Which toothbrush and toothpaste should my child use?
Dr. Baruffi and our staff will tell you that brushing your teeth is one of the easiest methods of cavity prevention. But which type of toothbrush should your child use? When choosing a toothbrush, look for round-ended (polished) bristles that clean while being gentle on the gums. Choose one that is specifically designed for children's smaller mouths and hands. Also, look for large handles that can help children control the toothbrush. Lastly, throw out a toothbrush after three months or sooner if the bristles are fraying. Frayed bristles have the ability to harm your gums, and are not as effective in cleaning teeth.
As far as which toothpaste is best? It doesn't matter as long as it has fluoride in it. However, for small children who tend to swallow toothpaste, do not use fluoridated toothpaste. Make sure to touch each tooth and every side of that tooth. Also, you do need to gently brush on your gums.
To learn more about choosing the right toothbrush and toothpaste for your child, we encourage you to read this helpful article from Parenthood.com. Or, you may give us a call at Southcenter Dental and we'll try to answer any question you may have about keeping your child's mouth as healthy as possible!
