I want white teeth

Food and drink

Coffee, red wine, tea, and blueberry juices can leave stains on your teeth.

Some foods, such as tomatoes, curry, soy, or berries, can cause stains due to their strong colors.

Smoking and tobacco

Smoking cigarettes or using other tobacco products can cause yellow or brown stains on your teeth.

Enamel wear

Over time, tooth enamel can wear away, exposing the yellow dentin underneath, leading to discoloration.

Genetics

Some people have naturally darker teeth due to genetics, while others may have lighter teeth.

Medicines

Using tetracycline or doxycycline during childhood can cause permanent tooth discoloration.

Some antihistamines, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications can also cause discoloration.

Dental diseases

Dental caries can cause changes in the color of teeth, often resulting in a darker or mottled appearance.

Conditions such as gingivitis or periodontal disease can affect the appearance of teeth and gums.

Acidity

Consuming acidic foods (e.g. citrus fruits) or carbonated drinks can erode enamel, exposing yellower dentin.

Laser teeth whitening

In our Polyclinic, we use the most modern technology of the diode laser EPIC™ 10, which represents the latest laser innovation, and is the result of 25 years of engineering by the American company Biolase.

Epic is the only diode laser that has three unique modes of operation (therapy): soft tissue surgery, whitening and pain reduction, which ensures a versatile approach to dental treatment, and thus a more pleasant treatment for the client, that is, the patient.

Opalescence home teeth whitening kit

With an individual approach and splints tailored to your teeth, a good result is ensured. You can save the made splints and reuse them for new whitening
With a home set, you will save time spent in the dental office.

Maintaining good oral hygiene

Brush your teeth at least twice a day, using a toothpaste that contains fluoride and may be specialized in whitening. This will help remove plaque and prevent stains.

Cleaning between teeth with dental floss or interdental brushes removes food debris and plaque that can cause stains.

Avoid certain foods and drinks

Limit your intake of foods and drinks that can cause stains, such as coffee, red wine, tea, dark juice, and colored sauces (e.g., tomato sauce or curry).

If you consume these foods, rinse your mouth with water immediately after eating or drinking to reduce their ability to leave stains.

Avoid tobacco products

Smoking and other tobacco use can lead to yellow stains on teeth. Quitting can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth.

Professional cleaning

Regular visits to the dentist for professional teeth cleaning help remove hard deposits and stains, and also allow the dentist to monitor the health of your teeth and gums.

Consider re-professional whitening every year or as recommended by your dentist.

Using whitening products

Incorporate toothpastes that are designed for whitening into your oral hygiene routine. These toothpastes can help maintain a lighter tooth color.

Periodic use of at-home whitening gels or strips can help maintain the whiteness of your teeth. Follow the instructions for use and do not overdo it.

Monitor sensitivity

If you notice increased tooth sensitivity after whitening, let your dentist know. They can recommend toothpastes for sensitive teeth or adjust your treatment.
