Some say anything that can put stains on a white shirt, can put stains on your white shiny teeth. Well, if you really look into this fact, you will realise it is true to some extent. Just like a shirt, some stains can be readily removed while some stay on; stains on teeth behave in the same manner. You can readily remove the temporary discolouration effects of some elements but some can really leave a mark. But unlike a shirt, it doesn't happen instantly and can be removed or covered without leaving a trace.
It is what we eat and drink that pollutes and spoils the white shiny exterior of our teeth. Things that have a stark colour like deep coloured berries, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, deep coloured sauces can all cause exterior discolouration of teeth. Tea, coffee and red wine are considered even bigger culprits for degrading the face value of teeth as they are a part of many people's daily routine. Same goes for aerated drinks, drinks that have high sugar content like sports drinks and colas. We do not pay much attention to this fact that apart from creating overall health troubles, excess intake of, either certain sugar rich consumables or other body-pollutants like tobacco, has a slow but harmful effect on the way our teeth look. The natural whiteness of teeth is required for maintaining a pleasant smile and a confident outlook.
Even if you lose the natural look of your teeth, it is not impossible to get it back. The modern teeth whitening techniques are efficient enough to wipe out the faults in the tooth enamel in no time at all. Such services can be availed at any cosmetic dentist's clinic or even a general dentist's clinic who offers whitening solutions. The dentist can offer you in-office whitening treatment or at-home solutions, which you can use even while you are at your workplace or sleeping. Although there are a number of teeth whitening pastes, rinses, strips and chewing gums available in the market, but their effectiveness is not much when compared to the professional methods.
One disadvantage that professional whitening has is the cost effectiveness. They are much more costly than over-the-counter means, a reason which can make people have second thoughts about going for it. But if you do a little research and study the reviews of the dentist you are going to approach for treatment, you will end up satisfied as the result will, most probably, be worth the money you spend. A bright, shiny smile can really boost one's confidence while in social situations. This is the reason why every year, increasing number of people, are opting for teeth whitening to make their teeth shiny white again. There are other cosmetic procedures too which can assist you when simple whitening methods fail to do the job, for instance porcelain veneers, which is a great way of getting rid of stains from the surface of teeth. Contact your dentist and know more about which procedure will suit your teeth better.
