Patients often ask us “how do teeth get stained?” The simple answer is that there are more than ten reasons that teeth accumulate stains over time. Preventing future stains and treating existing stains is more effective once you understand what stains your teeth.
If you are like most people, you want a sparkling, bright smile. Many patients opt for teeth whitening treatments to make that dream a reality. These days there are so many different at-home and professional options, so patients often ask about the types of teeth whitening treatments and the pros and cons of each.
As dental health professionals, our primary goal is the health and safety of our patients. When appropriate, we also offer safe and effective cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening. We know that for many people the radiant smile gives them the confidence to live their best lives. However, safety is our biggest concern.
