As the school year officially gets underway, this is a good time to think about ensuring that you have a beautiful smile. This can help you feel more confident throughout the school year. If you’re hesitant about smiling due to tooth stains or discolorations, there are effective ways to make your teeth look brighter again with teeth whitening services.

Your teeth can take on a yellowish tone or develop stains and other discolorations for a number of reasons. Some of these include drinking tea or other beverages with substances that leave stains on teeth, taking certain types of antibiotics or having a tooth injury. In some cases, more of the dentin inside your tooth becomes visible, such as when enamel wears away, resulting in a yellowish appearance. Teeth whitening provides you with an option to minimize these stains and help your teeth look whiter once again.

Having in-office teeth whitening done offers a highly effective way to reduce the appearance of even tough stains and discolorations. This type of teeth whitening service involves the use of a whitening gel and laser to break up discolorations. If you have this done, you can expect to have a protective cream placed on your gums in order to protect them during this process.

In-office teeth whitening can be used for nearly any type of stain or discoloration. This type of service usually provides effective results for difficult stains that are normally hard to treat, such as discolorations from antibiotics. Keep in mind that you might need to have multiple treatments done, depending on the severity of your tooth stains or discolorations.

If you’re looking for a more convenient and cost-effective way to whiten your teeth, at-home teeth whitening is another option. This type of treatment involves taking home a whitening kit from the dentist’s office and using it in the comfort of your home. This kit contains a whitening solution with hydrogen peroxide that is used to bleach teeth, as well as a custom-made mouthguard that holds the solution in place. This type of teeth whitening is generally effective for milder stains and discolorations, although it can take up to 15 treatments to see results.
