If my teeth are dull, how do I know if whitening would be a good option for me?
The first way to know figure out if teeth whitening is the best for you is to schedule a dental examination with x-rays to determine the reasoning behind the tooth discoloration. If your teeth are discolored due tooth decay or root canal problems, then whitening won’t be a good solution. Also, once you’ve had your teeth cleaned by your dentist, you may realize that you don’t need whitening. After you’ve had your dental exam, we can determine together if teeth whitening is the best option for you.
How white can I expect my teeth to be after the treatment?
Let’s face it: Americans are obsessed with a sparkling smile. Countless toothpastes and infomercials promise pearly whites, while advertisements bombard us with blinding grins. Fortunately, picture-perfect teeth are attainable if you take preventative measures against discoloration and treat existing stains. Much of what we eat and drink can cause yellowing, including coffee, tea, acidic fruit, soda, sugar, red and white wine, and certain berries. Other common culprits include smoking and lack of dental hygiene. Here are a few tips to help you treat and prevent stained teeth.
