We offer teeth whitening in Whitby
When you first sit down, we will help you choose a color that best resembles your current smile. Then, we will help you pick a color you want to improve to. While the optimal color is white, that may not be completely accurate. Teeth tend to yellow or darken as the years pass, and you may not be the only one to notice. Research indicates that people remember someone who has an attractive smile. Fortunately, there is a solution. At Dr. Dina Philips & Associates, we offer both in-office teeth whitening and take home teeth whitening kits in Whitby. No matter which option you choose, you should see a noticeable difference.
No ones smile is perfectly white. Everyone’s smile is genetically programmed to have a slightly yellow, gray, or brown undertone. As you get older, this tone becomes more pronounced. For most people, however, the main reason smiles discolor is because of the foods and beverages we eat. Think about what you put in your mouth everyday: a cup of coffee or tea, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate, red wine, cola, tomato sauce, and more. All of these are richly colored and can leave deposits on your teeth. The color of your teeth can also be affected by:
- Smoking and chewing tobacco
- The antibiotic tetracycline if taken at a young age
- Radiation and chemotherapy
- Cracks in your teeth that trap small particles of food
- Teeth grinding, which can darken the chewing surfaces of your teeth
