Is tooth whitening a good idea?

Cosmetic tooth whitening has become a common aesthetic procedure in dentistry. As a person ages the adult teeth often take on a darker appearance due to changes in the mineral of the tooth, as enamel becomes less porous. In addition, teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, dietary habits (such as drinking coffee, tea, red wine) and smoking. Specialist teeth whitening is an affordable and very effective way to combat common causes of tooth discoloration, while boosting self-confidence and improving your appearance.
