Teeth whitening at The Dental Retreat

Let’s be honest, a lot of us have looked in the mirror and felt uncomfortable or embarrassed by the colour of our teeth. There is no need for this any longer. With significant advantages in dental technology, teeth whitening has become easier and more efficient than ever before.

Most of us have tried over-the-counter teeth whitening toothpastes or mouthwashes. They may promise a brighter, whiter smile, however, the results are fleeting or unnoticeable. You need to speak to us at The Dental Retreat and find out about teeth whitening Macleod. Teeth whitening at the dentist is the safest and most successful way of whitening your teeth. It is important that before you undergo any teeth whitening procedures your dentist assesses the health of your teeth and gums to make sure that teeth whitening products will not have any adverse effects on your dental health.

At our dental practice Macleod, if you would like to undergo teeth whitening Macleod, we will carry out an examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that you are not suffering from any other underlying dental health issues. If you do have other dental conditions then we will advise that these are addressed prior to undergoing teeth whitening. The advantage of teeth whitening Macleod at the dentist is that, not only is it carried out by a dental professional, but it will also help improve the appearance of your smile at the same time.

Causes of yellow or stained teeth

Teeth can become yellow or stained as a result of many different factors. Poor oral hygiene or avoiding the dentist for a long period of time can usually result in yellow teeth, because of the build-up of plaque and bacteria on their surface. The longer plaque is left to remain on your teeth the greater the formation of tartar and over time this will become stained and cause your teeth to become yellow. Other factors such as smoking and drug abuse can have a significant impact on the appearance of your teeth. Certain food products and drinks can also affect the appearance of your teeth, as can some illnesses or medication. Many people find that their teeth become less white or more yellow with age. This occurs as the enamel of your teeth loses its natural shine.
