NIXA, MO — Everybody wants a whiter, brighter smile. But, be it cigarettes, tobacco, soda pop, wine, tetracycline staining, or simply aging, people wind up with lackluster smiles. That’s why so many people turn to at-home whitening systems or professional whitening from their hygienist or dentist.

Teeth whitening and bleaching systems have gone through many changes through the ages. According to TheHistoryOf.net, the Egyptians used toothpaste consisting of powdered pumice stone and wine vinegar to remove stains. The Romans even used acidic urine to keep their teeth white. Thankfully, in more modern times, there are much more effective and palatable remedies to obtain whiter smiles.

Though many people have been unsuccessful in their attempts to whiten their teeth with over-the-counter, “beauty salon type” bleaching systems, or even whitening in a dentist office, Barnett-Davis Dental Group, a Nixa dentistry center, has recently incorporated a new patented, professional tooth whitening system that not only removes the most severe of stains, it is virtually pain free. Also, if patients have had severe gum or tooth sensitivity with other bleach systems, the KoR Evolve Bleaching System is the solution.

“When I ask patients about their experiences with teeth whiteners and bleaches, I typically hear two complaints,” says Nixa dentist, Dr. Tracy Davis. “Either the teeth were not whitened from a poor whitening system or the patient experienced high sensitivity from the bleaching agents, which makes it very painful for bleaching treatment to continue in most cases.” (more…)
