These days, more and more people are looking for a faster and easier way to whiten their teeth. The easiest and fastest method is not always the best for you, though. While one-hour teeth whitening in your dentist's office remains a popular choice, there are other methods out there such as Opalescence and Treswhite, which can safely and gradually whiten your smile over time. Treswhite is an easy method that quickly lightens the shade of your natural teeth in the comfort of your own home. Opalescence is a conservative and minimally invasive approach to treat discolored teeth from your dentist's office. Tooth Discoloration From whitening strips to take home trays to whitening toothpastes and chewing gum, people are taking various lengths to achieve and maintain a brighter, whiter smile. Tooth discoloration falls into both extrinsic and intrinsic categories. Extrinsic discoloration occurs in the outer layer of the tooth (enamel). Enamel stains can range from white streaks to yellow tints or brown spots. Intrinsic discoloration occurs in the inner structure of the tooth, called the dentin, when the dentin darkens or displays a yellow tint. Extrinsic discoloration can be effectively treated using various whitening techniques, while intrinsic discoloration may be more stubborn, requiring alternative cosmetic treatments. Some causes of tooth discoloration include: • Foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas, wines and certain foods.
• Tobacco use
• Poor dental hygiene
• Disease
• Medications
• Dental work
• Aging
• trauma Take Home Whitening with Opalescence Treswhite Supreme This is a simple, fast and great-tasting way to start to whiten or brighten between in-office treatments. Treswhite is an easy method to quickly lighten the shade of your natural teeth in the comfort of your own home.
