Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening at the dentist's office is a procedure that involves the use of stronger whitening agents than those available in stores, which provides a more intense and longer-lasting effect. Before the procedure, the dentist usually performs a thorough cleaning of the teeth and an assessment of their condition, and then applies a special whitening substance, which he activates with UV light or a laser. This procedure removes superficial stains and improves the aesthetics of the smile in a short period of time.
What can cause tooth discoloration?
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of factors, such as consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, sodas, fruits, juices, dark drinks, smoking, poor oral hygiene, use of certain medications, aging, oral diseases, genetics, and congenital enamel disorders.
