Everyone wants a bright, white smile. It is a sign of youth and vitality, and lets you face the world with confidence. Unfortunately, popular food and drinks can stain teeth over time, particularly some of our favorites such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Smoking is one of the worst culprits when it comes to discoloration, but teeth can also darken due to injury or medication.

Most common of all is yellowing due to aging. As we get older, the whiter colored enamel of our teeth thins, revealing the yellow-toned dentin beneath.

Is Whitening for Everyone?
Not all types of discoloration respond to bleaching. If your teeth have been injured or discolored due to medication, speak to your dental professional about treatment. Rest assured, most of the time even severe discoloration can be improved!

Teeth can become yellowed or darkened for various reasons. Many people find that this takes a toll on the way they feel about their appearance and thus opt for teeth whitening for a brighter smile. Reasons for teeth discoloration can include stains caused by food and drink, such as coffee, tea and red wine, stains caused by tobacco use, trauma or injury to the tooth, and teeth darkening as a side effect of medication. Another very common cause of teeth yellowing is simply getting older. As you age, the whiter enamel on the outside of your teeth becomes thinner, and so the yellow-toned dentin beneath the enamel shows through.

Teeth bleaching involves one of two chemicals: Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. There are various products to whiten teeth that can be used by yourself at home, including whitening toothpastes, gels, strips, rinses and paint-on films. The bleaching compounds used in at-home whitening products aren’t as concentrated as those used by dental professionals in an in-office whitening procedure.

Not all types of discoloration respond to bleaching, including brown and gray tones as well as discoloration caused by medication or injury. However, if you have another type of discoloration, you may be a good candidate for teeth whitening. More severe discoloration can benefit from an in-office bleaching.

Although the chemicals used to bleach teeth are efficient, they can damage your tissues if overused. Whitening that is too frequent or too harsh can cause tooth sensitivity as well as damage to the enamel and gums.
