Nowadays, your smile is an essential element of beauty and self-confidence. As your smile is one of the focal points of your face your mouth plays a major role in communication and health<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A radical change in colour can be obtained when coating you teeth with all-porcelain dentures or fillings of the desired colour. This procedure is normally performed when teeth are affected by decay or other diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when teeth are healthy, they can be whitened but must be properly cleaned first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Do Teeth Darken?<\/strong> Internal causes of teeth darkening include:<\/strong> Teeth whitening must be performed after professional oral hygiene during which soft and hard plaque (calculi) is removed. Moreover, an oral hygiene specialist removes stains accumulated on the rough dental surfaces by means of a special sodium carbonate powder blower and restores the actual dental colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to whitening, gingival (gum) inflammation and dental decay must also be cured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a note, teeth whitening should be postponed in the cases of pregnancy and lactation because during these conditions\u2019 gums are more sensitive due to fluctuations in hormone levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teeth darken due to external and internal causes
External causes can be food plaque, tobacco, heavy consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and other products high in teeth staining substances. Dental colour is also negatively affected by large fluctuations in the temperature of food and drinks placed in your mouth causing fractures in dental enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Inflammation of the dental pulp
\u2022 Dental traumas
\u2022 Treatment of root canals
\u2022 Low-quality dental fillings, multiple decay
\u2022 Use of tetracycline during pregnancy causing teeth darkening in children
\u2022 Numerous reproductions of pigment producing bacteria in the mouth
Also, teeth darken naturally with age because the enamel is thinning and a darker internal layer of the tooth, i.e. dentine, is more clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProfessional Oral Hygiene<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
