FAQs
1. What Is Teeth Whitening?
2. Why Do Teeth Become Discoloured?
Teeth can become discoloured for various reasons, including:
- Staining Foods and Beverages: Consuming coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods can lead to tooth staining over time.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products can cause teeth to become yellow or brown.
- Ageing: As you age, the enamel on your teeth naturally thins, allowing the yellowish dentin beneath it to become more visible.
