Our everyday routines involve brushing and flossing to prevent plaque and keep our teeth bright. Still, if you feel like your teeth lack some sparkle, you’re not alone. When the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry asked people what they’d most like to improve about their smile, the most common response was whiter teeth.
Let’s get down to the basics first; Why do your teeth change color?
Over time, your teeth may become not-so-bright from food and coffee drink which are the main staining culprits. They have intense color pigments called chromogens that attach to the white outer part of your tooth (enamel). Another means could be tobacco use which is renowned for creating stubborn stains by converting Tar and Nicotine into a yellowish, surface-staining substance. In the blacklist, we have age, trauma, and medications as prospective causes of yellowish teeth.
Teeth whitening is a simple process. Whitening products contain one of two tooth bleaches (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide). These bleaches break stains into smaller pieces, making the color less concentrated and your teeth brighter.
At Mint Dental Care, we enhance your oral hygiene while restoring its natural prowess and attaining whitened teeth. Teeth whitening is a straightforward procedure requiring 30 minutes to undergo- we recommend booking an appointment to achieve that brighter smile.
