Sure: See your dentist for an evaluation and discussion of tooth whitening options. When was your last dental cleaning?

At home or in office: Initially, you need to make sure to brush and floss properly to remove the surface plaque and any food debris. Then you can use some crest white strips should help you to lighten your teeth. If you have any composite fillings in the teeth, they will not lighten with the white strips and would need to be replaced afterwards. You can also have your dentist do whitening in office.

Teeth whitening: Over the counter whitening strips can be helpful, though they only cover the front 6 teeth and some people find them cumbersome. Custom made trays made by a dentist are more effective because they use a higher concentration of whitening solution than what is available over the counter. Avoid anything that requires a rinse with an acid "pre conditioner"-it will erode the enamel, make teeth painful

The best solution: The most preferred method of whitening among patients is in-office whitening. Make sure to visit your dentist for a thorough cleaning and professional in-office teeth whitening for a great result. Good luck!
