Causes of Tooth Discoloration and Dullness
Tooth enamel is one of the strongest substances in the body. Unfortunately, this enamel is still at risk for decay and aesthetic changes. One of the most common aesthetic changes that take place with our teeth is diminished whiteness.
There are many reasons why teeth become discolored and lose their whiteness. Some of these include:
- Age/Time
- Worn enamel
- Certain foods/drinks that create teeth stains
- Tobacco use
- Inadequate oral hygiene
- Certain diseases
- Genetics
- Environmental factors
- Trauma to developing teeth
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whiteners are stronger than the products marketed for at-home use. This is due to a higher level of peroxide, which whitens teeth faster than what is available over the counter.
Dr. Snell will ensure proper protection for your mouth and gum tissue from the peroxide. Additionally, professional whitening is performed in a short amount of time and in an expert manner.
