For many people, the new year is a time for change and self-improvement. Getting a teeth whitening session can be an ideal way to resolve troublesome stains you picked up in the previous year and start 2020 feeling confident in your smile. The following guide will explain the benefits of this process.

Why Schedule Teeth Whitening for the New Year?

1. Remove Holiday Stains

Rich desserts, red wine, dark fruits, and countless other foods are staples of the holiday season. Unfortunately, many are known for their stain-causing properties. If your smile is discolored from holiday snacking, a teeth whitening session can resolve the issue.

The dentist will create a custom whitening plate based on a mold of your teeth and use approved whitening agents to penetrate tooth surfaces to bleach existing stains. You’ll notice significant results in as little as 1 hour.

2. Improve Self-Confidence

The goal of many New Year’s resolutions is to improve how you feel about yourself, and teeth whitening can help. Resolving tobacco stains and other issues will make you feel good about your smile. You’ll notice you feel more confident showing at work and in social events. If you’re more comfortable, you may make new connections, which can have long-term social and professional benefits.

3. Encourage Good Habits

Professional teeth whitening provides the foundation for proper oral care in 2020. You’ll find it’s easier to manage your newly brightened teeth since you won’t be combating existing problems. You’ll be motivated to keep them clean by brushing and flossing at least twice a day. You might even be motivated to quit smoking and avoid drinks like coffee, wines, and other stain-causing foods.
