Various treatments: For mild discoloration, or for someone who wants minor color change, try crest whitestrips or cao sheerwhite!. But i think you want a moderate or major color change, see your dentist. I have had great success with 1 or 2 in- office zoom! led treatment and dispense custom fit home trays with either 10%, 16% or 22% nitewhite or 14% daywhite. Or kor whitening system.

Whitening toothpaste: Whitening toothpastes are only good for some surface stains. Use of custom trays made to fit your teeth with whitening gel will usually whiten yellowed teeth. The dentist should examine you prior to starting to see if there are any other problems present.

See a dentist: Teeth whitening systems. However, make sure you see a professional. Teeth whitening should only be performed under the supervision of a doctor. The dentist will determine if your teeth are healthy. If so then various teeth whitening options will be discussed. Teeth whitening should not be performed on teeth with cavities, fractures or with gum disease.

See a dentist.: We are the absolute experts in making teeth look fantastic. Without seeing you, i would say to start with a dental exam and , if indicated, cleaning. Then, if that doesn't whiten things acceptably, talk to your dentist about home whitening. Do you have tooth-colored fillings visible when you smile? Are they dark? Dentists solve all of this easily!
