A bright, beautiful smile is important to both children and adults, but a number of factors can cause teeth to discolor and make those bright smiles to wane. Food and drinks, such as coffee, cola, and even certain fruits can leave stains on teeth. Medications, including certain antibiotics, can also cause teeth to discolor. Aside from poor dental hygiene, an obvious cause of dental problems, it is also possible to brush one’s teeth too often and have too much fluoride, which can degrade teeth. Thanks to modern cosmetic dental care, these smiles can once again shine. Your dentist can help you choose from a number of cosmetic dental care procedures, such as etching, bleaching, and application of veneers.
