Tooth Whitening
As you age, your teeth naturally get darker. The shade of your teeth can be further affected by drinking a lot of dark-colored beverages, like coffee, tea and red wine. Fortunately, you can take years off your smile safely and effectively through modern advances in tooth whitening.
Before you decide to use an over-the-counter tooth whitener, it is important to discuss your tooth whitening goals with an experienced dentist. A dentist can tell you what realistic results you can expect from tooth whitening, let you know if you are a good candidate for tooth whitening and discuss different methods for obtaining your goals.
Having your teeth whitened by a dentist ensures that your teeth will not be harmed in the whitening process. Remember, to whiten teeth, a bleaching agent is used. Improper use can affect your gums, cause tooth sensitivity and even produce unsightly results.
Keep in mind that tooth whitening is not permanent. You will need to continue your treatments to maintain your new sparkle. How often you need treatment will be determined by how well you care for your teeth and avoid tooth-staining foods and beverages.
