Dental Care Plan with Ottawa Downtown Dentist

Maintaining good oral health is essential to our overall health. Unfortunately many

of us avoid going to the dentist due to high costs. Hospital and physician care is covered by the health care system in Canada, but dentistry is not. Individuals wishing to attend a dentist must pay out of their pocket, or have a private dental care plan.

This is a problem in our health care system as many dental problems can lead to higher problems such as diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Canadians that have insecure jobs or receive low wages avoid the dentist due to the cost. These Canadians are also usually the ones with malnourished diets, and therefore those who need dental care the most. This creates a problem as those who need dental care the most, are the ones that receive it the least.

Want brighter teeth? What are your options…

Teeth naturally darken with age – as a result of consuming staining food or drink, tobacco, or in cases where teeth have had root canals (and the tooth is now dead). Though teeth are not naturally bright white, rather a light grey/yellow shade, everyone wants a ‘Hollywood’ smile – it is attainable, but how?

Surface whiteners are usually in form of toothpastes with the addition of special abrasives to improve the products ability to remove stain. Cons: The effectiveness of these products is minimal, so if you have severe staining, you should choose one of the following options.

Vital teeth bleaching (teeth that are living) This form of teeth whitening can be done two different ways.

- In office vital teeth bleaching: Your dental professional will apply a hydrogen peroxide/carbomide peroxide product direct on the teeth, usually in high concentrations. A laser or LED light will be applied for a decided interval (to be decided between yourself and your dental professional) which activates the product. This is usually the fastest way to achieve a brighter smile – dramatic results will be seen immediately after the treatment.

Cons: Because a high concentration product is used, your teeth are susceptible to sensitivity and your gingival (gums) can be burned and become inflamed if not isolated properly. You will also become more susceptible to stain for at least a day after treatment because the LED or laser will open the pores in your teeth to produce a desired result, and until they brighten, you are at a higher risk to stain.
