Why People Love Walterboro Family Dentistry
Why Do Teeth Get Stained?
Over time, our teeth's outer protective layer, the enamel, becomes thinner, revealing the yellower dentin beneath.
Additionally, indulgences like coffee, tea, red wine, and even some medications can discolor our teeth. Tobacco, whether smoked or chewed, is also a major culprit.
These external stains, combined with the natural yellowing, lead to a smile that might not be as gleaming as you'd like.
When Is It Time to Seek Professional Whitening?
While many are content with the mild results from over-the-counter products, there comes a time when store-bought solutions just won’t cut it. If:
- You're finding your confidence affected by your teeth's shade
- Over-the-counter products aren't delivering desired results
- You're preparing for a special event, like a wedding or reunion
It might be time to let professionals like Dr. Lauren Callison bring the brilliance back to your smile.

Why should I consider professional teeth whitening over over-the-counter products?

How does Zoom teeth whitening differ from other methods?
Zoom Whitening is a renowned brand recognized for its swift and dramatic results. Utilizing a specialized light to activate the whitening gel, Zoom can significantly brighten your smile in a single session, making it a favorite for those seeking quick and noticeable improvements.
Is teeth whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes, when performed by a professional. At Walterboro Family Dentistry, we ensure that the treatments are both effective and safe for your teeth's enamel. It's important to follow after-care recommendations to maintain the health of your teeth post-whitening.
How long do the results from professional teeth whitening last?
The longevity of your teeth whitening results can vary based on individual factors like diet and oral hygiene practices. On average, professional whitening can last from 6 months to 2 years. Regular touch-ups and avoiding staining agents like tobacco and certain beverages can prolong results.
Will the whitening process cause tooth sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity post-whitening, but this typically subsides within a few days. Dr. Lauren Callison and the team at Walterboro Family Dentistry take measures to minimize sensitivity and can recommend products or treatments to alleviate any discomfort.
Are there any foods or drinks I should avoid after teeth whitening?
Yes, for at least 48 hours post-treatment, it's recommended to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. This includes coffee, tea, red wine, soda, and dark berries. Additionally, refraining from tobacco use can help maintain your results.
How often can I undergo professional teeth whitening?
It's essential to allow ample time between whitening sessions to avoid over-treating your teeth. Typically, touch-up sessions can be done every 6-12 months, but Dr. Lauren Callison will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and oral health.
