The Truth About Stained Teeth and Teeth Whitening Products

Stained and discolored teeth can be caused by any number of factors – many of which are unavoidable. For one your teeth become much less resistant to stains as you get older even if your brush and floss everyday. Your teeth can also become stained by certain prescription medications, genetic factors, and your history of tobacco use.

Eating and drinking certain foods and drinks can also leave their mark on your smile. Red wine, coffee, and tea are notorious for causing stains and discolorations because of the natural dyes and tannins found in these beverages. The artificial dyes found in processed foods can also leave you with stains on your smile.

Maybe stains and discolorations have tempted you to try an over-the-counter teeth whitening product. Sadly many of these products are simply ineffective because they simply don’t have the whitening power you need to beautify your smile. In addition these over-the-counter whitening products are made with harsh chemicals which can irritate your gums and teeth.

At the end of the day, your teeth are likely to become stained and discolored at some point in your life. You can try the products you find online or at the grocery store, but you may just end up with an irritated smile. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with stained and discolored teeth. At 1st In Smiles in Plano, TX, we offer a full menu of whitening solutions that can fit every budget and lifestyle.
