Teeth WhiteningIf you have ever smiled and really looked at your grin or have done the ‘tissue test’ then you might see that your teeth are not as white as they could be. It gets even more frustrating whenever you brush and floss, but the dull yellow color just will not go away. There is an easy solution to fix this because sometimes the yellow tint just is not your fault. Teeth whitening can take many different forms but rest assured that the end result is the same, a healthier and whiter smile. Come see All Star Dental Care and we will get you in touch with our teeth whitening services. Why are my teeth yellow?Despite how much care you put into our teeth, sometimes they get dull for several reasons. These include the type of foods you eat, if you smoke or use tobacco products, the medications you take, drink dark drinks like coffee, and your age. No matter how much you brush or floss, sometimes it just is not enough due to the items we intake that effect the color of our teeth. That is where proper teeth whitening comes in. No matter which option you end up picking, the teeth whitening process bleaches your teeth and removes all the negative gunk and stains that prevent you from smiling your brightest. Whitening types and warningsTeeth whitening does not work on all types of teeth. Yellow teeth are okay to be bleached and will respond well, while teeth that are brown or black will not bleach. Additionally, the bleach will not work on any fake teeth, including crowns, bridges, and fillings. But for those teeth that will be affected, there are a bunch of options that you can try. The first is the easiest and it is stain whitening toothpaste. This toothpaste is not like other ones, as whitening toothpaste with the ADA seal of approval has more polishing agents that are safe for your teeth and are very effective at removing stains. They only affect the surface of your teeth though, and if you want a deep clean you will need to try something else. We offer chairside bleaching services that have you come into the office and get your teeth bleached right in our dentist chairs. We protect your gums with a gel and then bleach your teeth thoroughly. This bleaching not only removes surface stains but also gets in deep to get rid of deeper stains that you might not see. It is the most effective way to remove dental stains, and it is also the fastest! Plus, if you do not want to come into the office, you can do it at home! If you are sick and tired of how your teeth look whenever you look in the mirror and are frustrated with their lack of witness, then give us a call at (808) 808-1606 and talk to one of our All Star Dental Care dentists to set up your chairside teeth cleaning appointment. Afterward, you will be able to smile into the mirror with confidence and feel a brand new desire to take care of your smile! |
