Do you want to have a brighter smile?
Our teeth show when we talk and when we smile. That’s why many people want to show off a perfect set of white teeth. However, our teeth inevitably begin to yellow with age. There are also other reasons why our teeth turn yellow. The outer layer of teeth is covered with enamel. Enamel protects the deeper tooth structure and is colored almost white. The dentin, a yellow-brown layer of tissue is found beneath the enamel. When the enamel thins or wears away, the teeth begin to look darker. Some factors that can wear down tooth enamel are acidic food, gum disease, and aging. Some people also have naturally thinner enamel.
There are specific food and beverages that can stain the teeth and increase the yellowing. Common stain-causing foods and beverages include coffee, tea, wine, sports drinks, hard candy, berries, and tomato sauce. Smoking tobacco can also cause teeth to become discolored.
You can undergo tooth whitening treatment if you want to have whiter teeth. It is now among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. It can greatly improve how your teeth look. Some dentists perform tooth whitening. Whitening is not a one-time procedure. It is a treatment that needs to be repeated to achieve whiter teeth.
