With handshakes and hugs off limits, increase the power of your smile! Good oral hygiene is key to a smart smile, but sometimes it’s not enough to create the brilliance you desire. Now is the time to consider teeth whitening. Whitening uses peroxide to break down stains over time. The higher the concentration, the less time and applications are needed. A professional strength product applied for 5-10 days is ideal for most smiles and causes limited sensitivity.
