If you are brushing your teeth in front of the mirror one Sunday and notice that your teeth have turned yellow, you will be shocked. This is what most people go through when they begin to find yellow stained teeth. Though we brush every day we do not give so much of attention to our teeth at all. Don't let your teeth shock you because whatever has happened to your teeth is what happens to normal people with aging and it is not a disease. There are several reasons why and how your teeth turn yellow.If you are smoking or drinking tea regularly then your teeth will develop the stains due to the deposits on the teeth. Even if your teeth are white, as you begin to grow older, they slowly start turning yellow.
All said and done yellow teeth do make you feel awkward, especially when you look at other people especially the glamorous stars and public personalities who sport sparkling white teeth. To get white teeth and the best smile, you are willing to spend a couple of hundreds of dollars without regret.Now this is very much possible. Dentistry is highly sophisticated and gives you the best possible treatment in shortest possible time. The Dentist will be able to use the new methods and aids to clean and polish your teeth in such a manner that they shine and turn out to be perfect and white in no time.
Modern day practices give the Dentist several options to provide the tooth whitening treatment. One of the most expensive but best treatment that is used by most celebrities happens to be the application of peroxide gel concentrate on the teeth and then using laser or alternative heat source to help activate the tooth cleaning process. You need to take only a few hours off from your work to get this treatment done. Of course the Dentist would have to be very careful and slow while applying the gel to the teeth and ensuring that all gaps and spots are covered.
You can also opt for the regular method of using whitening bleach with plastic custom made trays as is preferred by most people and cheaper option too. This treatment takes a little while longer as the Dentist would first need to measure and get the tray prepared as per your teeth profile and then use the tray to fill the bleach and bleach your teeth.
If you do not wish to go to a Dentist, then you can also opt for home bleach and do the cleaning on your own. Bleaching your teeth at home will take more than one sitting and to complete the process it will take you about two weeks for which you should be prepared. This is cumbersome process but happens to be the least expensive method. What you could do is to get your teeth cleaned and bleached by the Dentist for the first few times and then switch over to home bleach once you have learnt how to do it.
There is another treatment option which is fast catching up and that is to use a micro abrasion agent to remove the discoloration of the teeth. The Dentist applies a paste that contains acid as well as a mild abrasive which will remove the discoloration if it is in the outer surface layer on the enamel. Many times the stain persists despite using the abrasive and in such cases the Dentist will need to remove the enamel of that particular tooth and replace it with a coloured adhesive.
Bonding is another process that the Dentists use for cleaning the teeth. In this process the Dentist first prepares the tooth surface and places a bonding resin ensuring that the colour matches with the tooth colour. The Dentist uses this not only to whiten the tooth but also to fill up gaps if any and cover up minor defects. Sometimes when you find that only one or two teeth are discoloured and the rest are normal.
