| A brighter whiter smile can freshen your appearance and give you a glowing, youthful look.
Why Teeth Look Discolored
Your teeth may become discolored for a variety of reasons. Food, beverages, tobacco, red wine and even the natural aging process can leave your smile less than bright. Certain medications (such as tetracycline), excessive fluoride, and previous dental work may also cause unsightly stains on your tooth enamel. Thankfully, you don’t have to live with discolored or dingy colored teeth. If you want a whiter, brighter smile, talk to your dentist about teeth whitening.
Home Use Whiteners
Your dentist can create clear, customized bleaching trays for you and recommend a bleaching solution. You pour this solution, which usually contains 16-20 percent carbamide peroxide, in the trays and wear them during the day or at night, at home or at work, to whiten your teeth. Most dentists recommend that you use the trays for an hour a day over one to two weeks to achieve the best results, but you will notice the difference immediately.
