Stained and discolored teeth can stem from many different aspects of life. Often, and the most preventable reason for tooth discoloration, it is caused by consuming acidic or darkly pigmented foods or beverages. The food particles stick to the enamel of your teeth and over time, are absorbed by the teeth. This staining can also come from tobacco, chewing or smoking. Discolored teeth can also come from problems deeper within the tooth. Tooth injury and fluorosis (along with certain medications) can cause stains that originate inside the tooth and spread outward. While proper brushing and flossing can help with stains from food, these kinds of stains are unaffected by toothpaste or rinses.Is the Teeth Whitening procedure Safe?
While we do not recommend it for expecting mothers, that is more of a precaution than anything else. You may experience slight sensitivity after the procedure, but it is a temporary issue and will pass. Tooth whitening is not dangerous to your health and well-being whatsoever.
Teeth Whitening Made for You
Teeth whitening agents actually change the color of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-colored fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).Everwell Dentistry offers a menu of whitening options and protocols to meet the individual needs of the patient.
