Spring has sprung! Time for spring cleaning and spring planting. And as long as you’re sprucing up for spring, why not treat your smile to a bit of color, too? The color white that is with teeth whitening from Dr. Bobby J. Carmen. We know there are numerous over-the-counter options for whiter teeth. However, for results that are more dramatic and longer lasting, you can’t match professional treatment.
Why Do I Need Teeth Whitening?
Like the rest of the body, teeth show the signs of aging—an unavoidable process for everyone. In addition, there other factors that may be causing your teeth to become stained and discolored. Most notably are the foods and beverages you enjoy. Take that morning cup of coffee or tea, for example. The enamel that covers the visible surface of each tooth is not smooth, but has microscopic cracks and ridges that can trap the molecules of pigment from your coffee or tea. Over time, this leads to a yellowed smile.
Other causes of teeth staining and discoloration are:
- Smoking and chewing tobacco
- Certain medications such as tetracycline or some chemotherapy drugs
- Bruxism, which can darken the biting surfaces of your teeth
- Cracks in your teeth that hide microscopic particles of food
- An injury that caused bleeding within a tooth
