Reasons To Go For Teeth Whitening
Your smile says a lot of things – your generosity, your kindness is in the smile that you give to others. This smile can become even more charming when your teeth are white and properly cleaned. Teeth whitening is a struggle for most people and it is mainly because of either their eating rituals or other habits such as drinking or smoking. Sometimes, teeth become yellow and stained because of cavities and consuming a lot of sugar and the other times, they are vulnerable to the stains because of not cleaning them properly.
Stained teeth are very hard to clean but with the help of a dentist or a professional, you can get your teeth whitened in no time.
Types of Teeth Stains
According to a survey, the most common concern of people regarding their smile was white teeth. Stained or yellow teeth is the most common problem among people who go to dentists. This directly affects a person’s self-esteem especially when they are speaking or smiling – the idea of being judged because of their yellow teeth lowers down one’s confidence.
Teeth whitening cannot be understood without the understanding of stains that ruin the look of one’s teeth. Teeth stains are of two types:
Extrinsic Stains:
Stains that are present on the surface of teeth are called extrinsic strains. They can be caused by:
- Smoking Tobacco and other products.
- Red wine and coffee.
- Tartar (It forms when plaque remains of the teeth for a long time)
Intrinsic Stains:
Intrinsic stains are present beneath the top surface of teeth. Their common causes are:
- Ageing
- Trauma
- Medications that were taken during tooth development
- Excessive use of fluoride
Moreover, intrinsic stains are the most difficult to remove because of their strong adhesiveness and prolonged presence on teeth.
