How White Your Teeth Can Become

103 38
People often equate white and healthy teeth.
This isn't necessarily true.
A person can have beautiful white teeth that are unhealthy because he has poor oral hygiene.
Making sure you brush and floss regularly is far more important than being able to blind others with the brightness of your smile.
Still, those who can afford it, flock to their dentists on a quest for brighter, whiter smiles.
The whitening treatments used by dentists have the potential to make your teeth what's called "Technicolor white.
" This kind unnaturally bright white is exactly what most people want.
Many movie stars have bright white smile because their teeth have been coated with veneers, not because they've had their teeth whitened.
Professional whitening treatments can cost hundreds of dollars, and the procedures aren't often covered by dental insurance.
So, the average person tries to get his teeth bright white by using over-the-counter products, like whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes, strips or gels.
There are even some brands of sugarless chewing gum that claim to make teeth whiter.
Despite the burns and tooth sensitivity associated with both over-the-counter and professional whitening, people continue to do it as often as they deem necessary.
The American Dental Association recommends that people talk to their dentists and have complete checkups before they embark on any whitening campaign.
Though rare, irreparable tooth damage can occur as a result of whitening.
Whether you use over-the-counter products or you get professional whitening treatments from your dentist, your teeth can only get so white.
Although some over-the-counter whitening agents boast that they get teeth several shades whiter, this claim is, usually, false.
Most whitening agents only get two or three shades whiter.
Teeth whitening is a booming industry.
Year after year, more and more people either visit their dentists or purchase over-the-counte whitening products in their attempts to get teeth that are white enough to rival those of any Hollywood actor.
