Tooth whitening (also known as Tooth Bleaching) in the form
of a home kit has been available since about 1986. This involves the making of a
custom fit tray to hold a special whitening gel around each tooth. It is
highly recommended that you have a dentist supervise the whitening process, which
includes an examination prior to the treatment, the preparation of the custom tray (as
opposed to an off the shelf boil and fit tray) and a dentist provided gel agent (several
times stronger than an off the shelf brand). The results are more predictable with a
custom tray and the proper gel strength for your individual case.
Whitening
should be done under the supervision of your dentist! |

Causes
of Tooth Discoloration |
Stain build-up on teeth is generally caused by the foods and
drinks we consume; such as, coffee, dark teas, dark colored sodas, chocolates, dark wines,
and other dark and acidic foods. Smoking is a major contributor to stained teeth.
Other causes include: A.) being born with discolored teeth (often due to medication taken
by mothers during pregnancy), B.) genetics, or C.) childhood diets. Whitening (bleaching
the teeth) can lighten the color of your teeth. Generally, whitening will provide the
color a patient desires; however, there are times when the desired color cannot be
obtained by traditional whitening methods and bonding treatment or veneers will be
required to obtain the desired color.
