Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening lightens tooth color by removing stains and discoloration, using peroxide gels (bleaching) or non-bleaching methods to achieve a brighter smile, with options ranging from quick in-office procedures (laser/LED) to at-home kits (strips, trays, toothpaste) and lifestyle changes, but it's best for surface stains and may not work on deep gray/brown stains or dental work like crowns. Causes for yellowing include aging, coffee, smoking, and some medications, while prevention involves good oral hygiene and avoiding staining foods.
