Bleaching before wedding

Hello,  Brides and Groom,

Please try not to bleach your teeth a day before your wedding or your photo shoot session.  At least give a good one week of time from bleaching to the important day.

There can be several problems when you use a professional strength whitening material right before a wedding day. 

1.  Your gum can become white right next to your tooth.  It would look rather terrible when the gum is white on your photos.  It takes about 5-7 days to come to normal.

2.  The teeth can appear spotty.  After bleaching, the teeth can have whiter spots and streaks.  Giving less than perfect smooth pearly whites!

3.  Teeth can be sensitive for a couple days.  Your wedding day should be filled with happiness, not with zings and ouches from delicious, yet acidic, Champaign or ice-cold lemonade.

These short term annoyances will go away but it may not go away in time for wedding.  In-office whitening is a quicker way to brighten your smile but make sure you don't do it last minute.

 --From a bride-to-be.  Yes, I am engaged, (Ye!)  and I will get married sometime this upcoming fall.
