Teeth whitening |
'White teeth' are increasingly the focus of attention, and symbolize health and beauty. Tooth whitening is a way of lightening the natural colour of teeth using bleaching methods. Tooth colour varies among people. As you get older, your teeth can become darker naturally. This process is often increased by drinking tea, coffee, red wine or other food and drink with strong colourings. Another major cause is smoking, which can make your teeth appear yellowed. Tooth decay, fillings and tartar build-up can also contribute to discolouration. If the nerves and blood vessels in teeth are damaged through decay or a knock, the tooth may become darker.
In addition to professional tooth cleaning, which uses airflow technology and results in a considerable aesthetic improvement, the use of chemical substances can also result in a profound whitening of the teeth.
