Are you getting ready for a special event\u2014whether it\u2019s a wedding, job interview, or reunion? While you\u2019re preparing what you\u2019ll wear to the occasion, you might also be considering teeth whitening<\/a> treatment. With the cosmetic benefits, you\u2019ll be able to show off a beautiful and confident smile for a long time. But now you\u2019re wondering: \u201chow close to an event should I whiten my teeth?\u201d Read on to learn about the treatment, when you should start it, and how to maintain the results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Can I Whiten My Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people might be tempted to buy OTC whitening products from their local store. While these are convenient, they won\u2019t offer the same professional-grade bleaching agents as your dentist will. With their help, they can provide an in-office treatment that\u2019ll brighten your pearly whites by eight shades in just one hour! Your dentist can also offer a custom take-home kit so you can whiten your smile at your own convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Should I Start Whitening Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know how effective teeth whitening treatment can be, it\u2019s time to plan when you should begin it. You\u2019ll want to make sure to enhance your pearly whites ahead of time, but you also won\u2019t want to get them too closely to the event. This is because you\u2019ll need to allow enough time for your whitening results to settle. For this reason, it\u2019s best to start your treatment a couple weeks before an occasion to ensure your smile is at its whitest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Preserve My Whitening Results?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While your teeth whitening procedure will significantly brighten your smile, maintaining their shine will help you make the most of them. One of the main preventive measures is to keep away from heavily pigmented foods and drinks\u2014like tea, coffee, soda, or red wine. If you must get whitening treatment earlier or can\u2019t completely avoid stain-causing beverages, then you can always try drinking with a straw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By whitening your teeth two weeks ahead of an event and maintaining its shine until then, you\u2019ll be able to fully enjoy an amazing smile when the time comes! Consult your dentist about your treatment, and they\u2019ll work to schedule your appointment accordingly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
