Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening continues to be a popular way to make the teeth appear whiter. It is important however, to recognize that whitening products may not produce perfect results depending on the condition of the teeth. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), teeth that are yellow looking will probably bleach well, but brown looking teeth may not bleach as well, and teeth that are grayish looking may not bleach well at all. Individuals with numerous fillings, crowns, and very dark stains should be especially cautious in using any tooth whitening products. It is important to consult your dentist before using any tooth whitening product.
 
Whitening can be done at the dentist's office through in-office bleaching or at home through use of dentist distributed products or over-the-counter products.
