Teeth lose their white sheen and develop discoloration, stains, and a duller appearance over time. This occurs for a variety of reasons, some of which are beyond your control, such as aging and your specific genetic predisposition.
However, your daily habits do play a role in issues such as staining. The following habits can all lead to dental stains
What you eat and drink has an effect on the color of your teeth. Certain beverages and meals can stain your pearly whites.
Some of the most common offenders are:
Eating a diet rich in added sugar also impacts dental health and can cause teeth to appear yellow over time.
Both smoking and chewing tobacco can cause tooth stains. Regular smokers and consumers of tobacco products are much more likely to have stained teeth than nonsmokers.
Not practicing good dental care at home, such as brushing twice daily and flossing daily, increases the risk of dental stains. Dental stains can also develop if you neglect routine dental cleanings. Visiting your dentist twice a year helps to prevent dental problems from arising.
If your teeth are stained or discolored, implementing lifestyle adjustments won’t solve the problem. Our dentists, fortunately, can improve the appearance of your teeth with a simple professional teeth whitening process.
Dr. Vilderman offers in-office treatment that whitens teeth in a single session for a brighter smile. After preparing and protecting your teeth and gums, Dr. Vilderman covers your teeth with a hydrogen peroxide-based gel and uses a laser to activate hydrogen peroxide and remove stains in the enamel and dentin.
To safely whiten your teeth, these teeth whitening solutions employ a bleaching ingredient. It’s normal to experience minimal sensitivity to these chemicals for a few days.
This in-office treatment takes 45-60 minutes and can whiten your teeth by up to 10 shades.
Following the completion of your teeth whitening, proper lifestyle practices will help you retain the effects. This means you can get teeth whitening procedures less regularly while still enjoying a sparkling, bright smile.
For the best results, limit or avoid staining foods and drinks, smoking, and chewing tobacco.
Many people agree that stained teeth can get in the way of making a good impression. When you’re ready to brighten your smile, consider professional in-office teeth whitening.
