How often have you looked in the mirror and shuddered at your yellow, stained teeth? These unsightly teeth affect your appearance and self esteem. Not only do these stained teeth affect your smile, often making you look less attractive and even older than your actual age, they also can make it difficult for you to smile with confidence. There are several whitening products on the market, and even some simple home whitening recipes. If you want a safe, natural looking smile, than cosmetic dentistry may be the right choice for you.
Out of all the cosmetic dentistry treatments that
a smile can undergo, what most patients seem to be after is simply a brighter glow. That's understandable - after all, a whiter smile can
imply all sorts of positive attributes about you to your peers, including
confidence, success, and youth. However, no matter how often or well you brush and floss,
many people still end up with stubborn stains and spots of discoloration that just won't go away. This is a common problem, but thankfully,
it's one that our team here at Divinegrace, knows how to correct.
It's a common misconception that dental stains can only form because of poor oral hygiene. In fact, there are several other factors as well that can cause them, including some that are completely out of a person's control! They include:
-
Age
-
Genetics
-
The consumption of certain foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, etc)
-
Frequent use of tobacco
-
Certain medications, such as antihistamines, blood pressure pills, and tetracycline.
-
Certain diseases
-
Radiation and chemotherapy
