This is a question that gets asked a lot but hopefully here we find out a little bit more:
A smile is the most important part of your face so white teeth can improve your appearance and even make you look younger. Tooth enamel becomes more absorbent and discolored as we age, so teeth whitening or bleaching has become popular and a normal part of cosmetic dentistry, to enhance a smile. But how white should your teeth be?
If you have ever seen somebody with white teeth that look fake, then you realize it is possible to go too white. It is best to go with a natural looking whiteness, that may appear as slightly off-white.
Teeth whitening methods involve an oxidizing agent to bleach the enamel, and needs to be done gradually over a period to the desired level of white. Too much whitening or bleaching is not good for the enamel, as the more it is done, the more porous the enamel becomes. The enamel will resume absorbing of foods and beverages after whitening is complete. Teeth whitening or bleaching is done every few months to maintain the color.
Bleaching can make teeth more sensitive to hot and cold and it is possible to cause damage to the enamel of the teeth from over-bleaching, so in the search for white teeth, some people choose to pay a cosmetic dentist to do it for them. If you have filings or crowns, you may want to have a dentist perform procedures to give you white teeth, as sometimes, these will bleach differently than normal enamel and give you a multi-colored result.
There are now improved methods in over-the-counter products and procedures are more reliable in teeth whitening. One thing is certain, it is worth the effort that goes into getting white teeth to improve your appearance and make you look younger.
