Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can restore natural brilliance to smiles that have been stained and discolored over time.

Teeth are made up of several layers. The tooths darker layer, dentin, can become exposed as tooth enamel is worn down.

Food particles are naturally attracted to a tooths enamel by a certain protein. Products like coffee and tea, berries, and soy sauce are notorious for staining teeth. Over time, teeth actually become more absorbent and vulnerable to staining from food and other substances.

One type of staincaused by traumatic injuries, medications, and fluorosisactually begins inside the tooth; brushing and flossing dont help. Another type of stainone that can be more easily attacked by brushing, flossing, and rinsingis caused by external factors such as foods.
