But the reality is there\u2019s really no way to prevent teeth from darkening with time. Fortunately, you can reverse the signs of age on your smile with professional teeth whitening in 01702. But why do your teeth get so stained in the first place? And why choose professional teeth whitening, when there are so many over-the-counter options available? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghampremierdental.com\/meet-dr-gaitsgory.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Marianna Gaitsgory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has your answers today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Your Teeth Look Dingy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Years of living take their toll on your smile. It\u2019s no surprise that coffee, red wine and tobacco all leave a mark, but there are other factors that you may not realize are staining your teeth. Some common things affecting the shade of your smile include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highly pigmented fruits, like dark berries <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark chocolate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain medications (especially tetracycline)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor dental hygiene that leads to yellow teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these external factors, don\u2019t forget that tooth shade also depends largely on genetics. Some people are born with whiter teeth, while others smile a darker shade. No matter how you\u2019ve been treating your teeth, or what shade you naturally exhibit, professional teeth whitening can help. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve taken a stroll through the pharmacy lately, you know there is a multitude of options available for whitening your teeth &#8212; and many that promise to reveal your results in as few as three, five or seven days. While these formulas may be tempting, it\u2019s always best to trust your teeth to the professionals who know what\u2019s best. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the reasons to choose professional teeth whitening instead of over-the-counter options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional teeth whitening formulas are stronger than what you can pick up at the pharmacy, for better results. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy something over-the-counter, you never know how long it\u2019s been sitting on the shelf, slowly losing its potency. But with a professional whitening treatment, the formula is mixed in the office or prepared right before it\u2019s sent to you (for at-home treatments). <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dentist can make special considerations for patients dealing with tooth sensitivity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With custom applications, there\u2019s no risk that any of the high-powered bleaching gel will accidentally touch the sensitive gums or other soft tissues. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s simple: professional teeth whitening gives you the dazzling results you want, safely and more effectively than you can hope for with a generic, one-size-fits-all bleaching kit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re ready to rejuvenate your smile with professional teeth whitening, please get in touch with Framingham Premier Dental.
