Why should I get my teeth professionally whitened?
Discolored or yellowing teeth can distract from your smile and have damaging effects on your self-esteem. Professional teeth whitening by Dr. Bell is a quick and easy way to reinvigorate your smile and improve your overall appearance.
While it may be tempting to use an at-home teeth whitening kit you find in the store, the professional kits Dr. Bell offers are stronger and more effective. If you have yellow or stained teeth that aren’t extremely sensitive, you may be a good candidate for professional teeth whitening.
Advantages of professional teeth whitening include:
- Fast results
- Better strength and effectiveness than store-bought kits
- Gentle teeth whitening
- Cost-effective smile rejuvenation
- Long-lasting whiter teeth
What causes yellow teeth?
Yellowing teeth are extremely common, especially among adults. Most of the time, teeth turn yellow due to certain foods and drinks that leave stains on the tooth enamel.
Although it’s normal for teeth to turn yellow over time, the following substances are known to cause unsightly staining on your teeth:
- Red wine
- Coffee and tea
- Chewing or smoking tobacco
- Antibiotics such as tetracycline and doxycycline
Other factors can also make your teeth yellow, such as:
- Aging
- Genetics
- Diseases
- Poor dental hygiene
