If you're like most of us, when it comes to your teeth and how they look, they can stop you from smiling, stop you speaking and pretty much the things that you took for granted become a nightmare that you can hardly face.
There are variety of reasons our teeth turn yellow or discolored, the main one being time!
As we grow older the enamel, a coating that protects the inner tooth, will become thin and transparent revealing the soft dentine below. As time passes it is this dentine that begins to show through and give off the yellowing look of the teeth.
What is also true, however, is that the food and drink that we eat also has an effect on the color of our teeth. Fizzy soda, tea and coffee and cigarette smoke, red wine, they all have an effect on our teeth. Not to mention what sugar does to them.
The solution for many is teeth whitening! Teeth whitening is not a new thing, generations ago the latest Hollywood celebrities spent a fortune getting their teeth fixed and whitened and back then, it was rightly thought of as something the rich and famous did. That's because it cost a packet and could only be done by professional dentists.
Now, however, if you want to get your teeth whitened there are a very good selection of at home teeth whitening kits that you can use to do it yourself.
The good thing is that if you are on a budget then you can very easily pick up one of the free teeth whitening samples that widely available online for you to try. What you must do though is to make sure that you opt for a sample that is worth your time and attention.
The teeth whitening kits are on the whole very convenient to use and will give you a good whitening result in a matter of minutes. In short, you won't have to hide your smile again!
Your other option is to go to a professional dentist and pay for a course of whitening treatments that could set you back several hundred dollars. If you can afford it, then this will be the best option to go for.
If you are on a budget, then I would advice you try one of the teeth whitening kits.
