What is Tooth Whitening?

Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing the brightness and overall appearance of your smile. This treatment involves the use of bleaching agents to lighten the color of your teeth, effectively removing stains and discoloration caused by various factors.

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

Several factors contribute to tooth discoloration. Common causes include:

  • Food and Beverages: Consuming items like coffee, tea, red wine, and certain fruits can lead to staining.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can significantly darken teeth.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque and tartar buildup, leading to discoloration.
  • Aging: As we age, the enamel on our teeth can wear down, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
  • Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, can stain teeth, particularly in children.

Symptoms of Discolored Teeth

Discoloration can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Yellowing or browning of teeth
  • Dark spots or patches
  • A general dullness in appearance that detracts from your smile
