Tooth Whitening

The most frequently requested cosmetic procedure is tooth whitening. Over time you teeth can become stained by various foods and beverages such as tea, coffee and red wine. Smoking also causes discoloration as well as some medications such as tetracycline. Many toothpastes now contain whitening agents but brushing alone is generally ineffective at whitening teeth. Effective procedures are available that can be completed at the dentist's office or at home.
