Why whiten your teeth?<\/h2>\n

Today’s society is obsessed with beauty, and some people want to improve their physical appearance to feel better about themselves. A growing number of adults are turning to orthodontics to improve the aesthetics of their smile and achieve better chewing function. People also want whiter teeth. Even if someone brushes their teeth two or three times a day and flosses once a day, these habits are unfortunately not enough to keep teeth white.<\/p>\n

Teeth whitening is therefore an option for restoring the brightness of a person’s smile.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The natural color of teeth varies with age and time<\/h2>\n

Tooth color varies greatly from person to person and becomes darker with age. As we age, the dentin (located under the enamel and naturally more yellowish) becomes increasingly exposed due to the gradual thinning of the enamel layer that protects the teeth. Teeth therefore become more yellow or grayish over time.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

For a brighter smile, think teeth whitening.<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n

First, you should know that teeth naturally range from greyish to yellowish, from pale to dark. Over time, it is common for teeth to become darker.<\/p>\n

Several other factors can influence teeth color. In fact, some drinks (coffee, tea, red wine) and smoking can create spots on the surface of the teeth. Wear, tooth decay, plaque and tartar build-up as well as some prescription drugs can also contribute to the discoloration of teeth.<\/p>\n

Although for some, scaling and polishing are enough to restore a glowing smile, others will need to whiten their teeth.<\/p>\n

Talk to your dentist about finding a solution that best suits your situation and that will give you back your radiant smile.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
