Maintaining healthy tooth enamel and gums means brushing and flossing daily to keep your smile looking its best, along with regular professional dental cleanings. Even so, there are things you can do to whiten your smile.
At the dental office of Drs. Rob Rodriguez, Shawn Ray and Bailey Hammerberg located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, one of our most popular requests for treatment for a more appealing smile is teeth whitening. In as little as one treatment, teeth whitening can brighten your smile. Our professional system uses a powerful, safe whitening gel applied to tooth enamel. This gel lightens stains, discoloration, and any yellowing on the teeth. Do you know what might be dulling your pearly whites?
1- Food and beverages: berries, certain candies, coffee, tea, and red wine can attach to the tooth enamel and stain it.
2- Tobacco use: tar and nicotine can darken teeth.
3- Medications: drugs such as antibiotics, antipsychotics, antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications can alter tooth enamel.
4- Age: as enamel thins out over time, the yellower dentin layer beneath comes through.
5- Trauma: injury can darken tooth color because the tooth creates more dentin in response to an injury.
