According to one survey, about 80 percent of American adults want whiter teeth. That is why the at-home teeth whitening products market is so massive. There are many products to choose from if you want to whiten your teeth. However, it is worth noting that many of these whitening products use chemicals to bleach teeth, a concern for many people.
Why Are Your Teeth Yellow?
Many factors can cause your teeth to lose their white, bright sparkle and become dull. Certain foods and drinks can stain the outermost layer of your teeth, known as enamel. Also, plaque buildup can cause your teeth to look yellow. Furthermore, teeth inevitably begin yellowing with age.
Regular cleaning and whitening routines can address the problem of tooth discoloration. However, you may have yellow teeth due to the erosion of the hard enamel. Erosion reveals dentin, the yellowish bony tissue underneath the outermost layer of the tooth.
How to Make Your Teeth Whiter
Americans spend more than a billion dollars on teeth whitening products annually. Many of these products can whiten your teeth, but some can also damage them due to harsh chemicals. The last thing you want is to stain or spoil your precious smile. So, you should do your homework and consult your dentist before using any whitening product.
Excellent Oral Hygiene
Excellent oral hygiene practices are the best way to keep your teeth white and bright. If you do not brush your teeth twice daily, start doing so immediately. Try brushing more frequently if you brush and floss regularly and your teeth are still turning yellow. That is especially important after consuming drinks or meals that can lead to yellow teeth.
However, you should avoid brushing immediately after taking acidic drinks or foods since it might erode tooth enamel. Give your teeth some extra sparkle by using tooth-whitening toothpaste. Such toothpaste uses mild abrasives to remove stubborn stains from your teeth's surfaces.
Opalescence Boost Whitening
If you are looking for an easy tooth whitening option with instant results, try Opalescence Boost professional whitening. Your dentist will apply the treatment in the dental office to give you a white smile.
The procedure does not involve using uncomfortable or hot LED teeth whitening lights. Instead, it involves applying a chemically activated whitening gel to provide whiter, brighter teeth in just one hour.
Your dentist will activate the 40 percent hydrogen peroxide formula just before application. That ensures every dose is effective and fresh. The gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to help reduce sensitivity and caries and strengthen tooth enamel. That will help improve the overall health and appearance of your teeth.
