What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cost-effective method to brighten teeth and enhance your smile. Your smile holds significant visual impact when meeting others. According to research by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 74% of adults believe an unattractive smile can hinder career success. When asked how to improve their smile, the most common response was through whiter and brighter teeth. For those seeking teeth whitening in Eastern Dental Clinic, our dental experts can provide top-notch treatments. A bright smile conveys the impression of healthy teeth, youth, and happiness.

Causes Of Tooth Discoloration

Baby teeth typically appear whiter than adult teeth. As individuals age, their adult teeth tend to darken and become stained, contributing to the perception of aging. This is one of the reasons why white teeth are associated with a more youthful appearance. Several factors can cause darkened teeth, including:

  • Illness
  • Aging
  • Genetics
  • Tobacco use

Darkened teeth can result from consuming stain-causing food items such as coffee, wine, berries, sauces, and others. Additionally, exposure to high levels of fluoride during the development of teeth can also contribute to tooth discoloration.

Everything You Need To Know About The Teeth Whitening.
