It can be frustrating to see your smile dull over time due to accumulated teeth stains. Even as you successfully prevent cavities from forming, you can detect a change in the brightness of your smile that seems unstoppable. What you should know is that your Rochester, MN dentist’s office is prepared to help you address those frustrating stains, and see real improvements to your appearance. You can receive a professional whitening treatment that allows you to treat bothersome stains. When you follow your treatment with smart habits, and the occasional touch-up, you can maintain these positive results.
Identifying The Habits That Can Increase Your Risk For Teeth Stains
A review of your daily habits can help you identify the culprits causing your smile to appear dull. Tobacco users can find that their teeth seem yellowed and unhealthy – products like cigarettes and smokeless tobacco can be trouble for your appearance and your oral health. Coffee, tea, red wine, and soft drinks can all leave behind particles on your enamel that cause stains, as can dark or color-rich food products. Drinking more water, and being consistent with brushing, can help you clear away newly acquired debris on your enamel.
Making Big Changes Through A Professional Whitening Treatment
A professional whitening procedure can provide you with what you need to make big changes to your appearance. Your dentist can provide you with Kor Whitening, a procedure that provides you with an in-office whitening treatment as well as a whitening kit you use on your own at home. When patients rely on this approach to teeth whitening, their teeth can become up to sixteen shades whiter after a final in-office bleaching.
Addressing Discoloration Caused By Something Other Than Enamel Stains
For many patients, professional whitening treatment can lead to great changes, and renewed confidence in how they look when they smile. There are some problems with dental discoloration that are created by internal issues, rather than by accumulated stains. If you are someone who needs to address visible signs of fluorosis, if you have a tooth that looks discolored after an injury, or if you have any other problem with intrinsic discoloration, an alternative cosmetic dental procedure may be preferable. Placing porcelain veneers over teeth that exhibit signs of intrinsic discoloration can make them look more attractive by hiding stains, and improving problems with their shape or size.
