Dental Whitening

The colour of the teeth, as well as that of the eyes or hair, varies from person to person. It is therefore not considered a stable parameter since it varies from one individual to another, from one dentition to another or even over time in the same tooth. What You Need to Know To begin with your teeth whitening , the color of the teeth is genetically conditioned. It is defined by the color of the dentine and the thickness and quality of the enamel: The enamel is translucent and practically has no color. Depending on its thickness and quality (degree of mineralization) it allows the color of the dentine to be more or less "transparent". The dentine is yellowish. Depending on its thickness and quality it is more or less yellowish. Variations in tooth colour Variations in tooth color that we can find are determined by: Age : older people have thinner enamel thicknesses due to tooth decay.

The dilemma for many of us will always be to have white teeth, but not all of us succeed because few people have a daily and uninterrupted routine of cleaning their teeth, that is, washing them in the morning, afternoon and evening or at least twice a day. Also, for money reasons or because they are not used to it, few people go to a dentist for a check-up and bleaching of their teeth, and that way they can show off that ‘Colgate’ smile. Therefore, if you want to have your teeth white, we give you some tips to whiten them naturally and without the need to go through the dentist. #1 Sodium Bicarbonate Not only is it a powerful bleach, it’s also an excellent stain remover.

8 Foods That Cause Yellowish Teeth Having a white denture is synonymous with youth, as it is very normal that with aging the teeth lose their natural white tone . However, there are some foods that can cause yellowish teeth prematurely , as some substances can stain the teeth and deteriorate their white enamel. The enamel of the denture is the one that gives the white color and the underlying layer, called dentine, is yellow. If the enamel is still almost intact and you notice that your teeth are yellow, some foods may be staining it. Black coffee  This is one of the foods that cause more yellow spots due to its characteristic dark color.  The outer layer of the teeth is very porous and therefore easily absorbs this type of food and its color. Tea  Many consider tea to cause fewer stains than coffee, but some types of tea may yellow more than coffee.  Tea contains substances called tannins, which stain teeth.  The best thing in this case is to choos...

From an early age we are taught to brush our teeth after every meal, that is, three times a day after breakfast, lunch and dinner. But in reality, this hygiene action would not be the right one for our teeth, as dentists say. According to the annual study on Oral Habits in children carried out by Vitaldent 10.9% of children do not brush every day and only 60.6% do so before going to bed. Also, among adults, the frequency of brushing is even lower. According to the population survey on oral health, 12% of Spaniards over 14 do not brush their teeth every day, and 2.3% never do. “When you eat or drink something acidic, the pH of your mouth decreases and it takes some time to return to normal,” Jeffrey Cole, president of the American Academy of Dentists, told the Wall Street Journal. The ideal pH of our mouth is around 7, while a soft drink (even a light one) can be up to 2.5, “similar to vinegar”. Click here to continue with this amazing reading

But the truth is that, to a great extent, to have or not to have beautiful teeth depends on genetic issues. “The tone is determined by the color of the dentine. It gets darker because as the enamel ages it becomes more translucent and, in addition, the eating habits we have, have a great influence, as well as the fact of whether or not we are smokers”, explain the specialists at the Smylife Clinic. Precisely to ‘improve’ those small aesthetic problems that we can find related to our mouth, there is a multitude of options. And one of the most demanded, and there is no doubt that it is fashionable, are tooth whitening. Are you clear about what it consists of?

The color of stains on teeth provides information about their origin and remedy. This way you can get a little closer to the mirror to identify in more detail the unsightly shade that your teeth glide.

Brown spots: they appear due to the consumption of food, drinks, or vices harmful to our dental health, such as sweets, wine, or tobacco. If, after consuming them, you do not brush your teeth, the result will be the appearance of these unsightly brown stains. Green ...

Our daily habits often cause the color of our teeth to become darker, duller and yellowish. This can happen because of the coffee we drink, wine or tobacco smoke.
