teeth whitening

The holiday season sparkles with parties, family gatherings, and special events. It’s a time when cameras flash frequently to capture every magic moment. This holiday season, as the camera clicks in your direction, you can feel confident flashing your most dazzling smile because you whitened your teeth at Dr. John Rottschalk Dental Group!

Teeth whitening can help boost your self-confidence, allowing you to smile as brightly as a star atop the Christmas tree. Plus, with many options available for use in our office and at home, your teeth whitening treatment can be fully customized to meet all your smile needs.

The holidays are almost here, so be sure to schedule an appointment at our Fairview Heights, IL office! Dr. Rottschalk, Dr. Acker, and Dr. Froidcoeur, along with our team, can help you decide which type of teeth whitening product will give you a bright, white smile to last long into 2014!

At Dr. Rottschalk Dental Group we know most folks enjoy a hot-brewed coffee or tea in the morning, followed by a cola (or more coffee) in the afternoon. But what many don’t know is that both coffee and tea are especially tough on your teeth, because tannic acid (the substance that makes the dark color) etches into the pits and grooves of tooth enamel, and can stain your pearly whites brown.

So, if you can't give up that morning cup o’joe, what can you do? Dr. Rottschalk and team suggest rinsing with a glass of water after every cup. If you enjoy iced coffee or tea, drink your beverage with a straw so that tannins don’t make contact with your front upper and lower teeth. Even if you’re not a big coffee drinker, we encourage you to swish and swallow some water at the end of each meal. Water, after all, helps neutralize acids left in your mouth after eating and also reduces cavity-causing bacteria.

Dr. Rottschalk and our staff also invite you to visit our convenient Fairview Heights office for whitening options. We can help bleach your teeth with proven and professional products.
