Professional teeth whitening removes stains from the tooth's surface, and even from beneath the enamel, to brighten dull or yellowed teeth and gives you a more vivid smile. If you're less than satisfied with your teeth, below are some of the best reasons to take this step.

Why You Should Talk to a Dentist About Teeth Whitening

1. Enjoy Your Smile

Teeth whitening removes stains caused by coffee, tea, cigarettes, wine, and even aging. It makes teeth whiter, gives people younger, more attractive appearances, and makes them less self-conscious about their smiles. The procedure can be ideal for people facing stressful situations, such as job interviews, or who want to look their best for special events. Whiter teeth help you smile more, making you seem more open and helping you stand out in photos.

2. Improve Your Oral Health

People tend to take better care of their teeth if they take pride in them. If you're happy with your smile's brightness, you may be more likely to brush thoroughly, floss daily, and schedule regular dental checkups, helping you achieve better oral health.

3. Quit Smoking

It's very difficult to quit smoking, so you may need all the help you can get to make this lifestyle change. Luckily, whitened teeth could be just the boost you need. Smoking stains enamel, and if you recently underwent teeth whitening, you'll be less likely to put your new smile at risk by returning to tobacco.
