What causes teeth to yellow?

Discoloration of teeth can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

    – Smoking

    – Drinking coffee or tea

    – Eating foods that contain tannins

    – Overexposure to fluoride

    – Childhood use of antibiotics

    – Tooth decay

    – Trauma

    – Restorations

    – Root canal issues

The teeth also naturally yellow over time; our baby teeth are whiter than our permanent teeth, for example. This is why tooth whitening can make us look so much younger!

Why should I have my teeth whitened professionally?

It’s no secret that there are a variety of whitening options available as over-the-counter, at-home treatments. While these treatments are often inexpensive and easy to use, they are not as effective as in-office treatments and do not protect the rest of the mouth from the whitening chemicals. In-office whitening methods use stronger whitening agents, so they can whiten your teeth by up to ten shades in just one hour. They also include a buffer gel that protects your teeth from any damage, as well as techniques that keep your gums and other tissue from being harmed. Your dentist is also the best-qualified person to deal with any whitening-related problems, such as extra sensitivity. For more questions about whitening, contact us at Eagle Falls Dentistry today.
