Causes
There are several causes of discoloration in the teeth. Often however it is due to one of a few things. Dental hygiene, tobacco use, and coffee are probably the most common causes of tooth discoloration. Dental hygiene is a big one because if teeth aren’t properly taken care of, the enamel can be damaged or the discoloration could be much worse as a result. There are several other foods that cause discoloration either directly or indirectly. Blueberries, red wine, dark juices, soy sauce, sodas, and even an excess of iron can directly cause teeth discoloration. Acidic foods or carbonated beverages cause discoloration in an indirect way by causing enamel damage and allowing the next layer down to become more discolored as a result.

Options
Your options for teeth whitening to fix discolored teeth are varied and plentiful. There are a wide range of professional dentist procedures, including laser light whitening, acid or abrasive cleaning, and bleaching or chemical cleaning. These procedures are usually much more expensive than at-home versions, but give a bigger result in a smaller time, and offer immediate results for those who want a brighter smile quickly. There are also a wide range of at-home teeth whitening procedures to correct discolored teeth. These include entire bleaching kits with either pre-filled or moldable, reusable mouth trays and chemical solutions, teeth whitening brush-on solution or whitening pens, and teeth whitening strips. There are also at-home teeth whiteners, such as the Whiter Smile Premium Home Whitening Kit, that are the light form and combine with whitening solutions to create whiter teeth with a more professional quality.

Professional First?
If you believe that your teeth might be in bad condition or damaged in some way, it may be a good idea to visit with a professional dentist before you begin a teeth whitening procedure. A dentist will be able to make sure your teeth and gums are in good condition and recommend which type of at-home treatment if any you should use. Sometimes if your teeth or gums are damaged or unhealthy, your dentist can either recommend that you do not use teeth whitening procedures or allow them to do them safely, possibly even recommend a milder alternative. The risks of teeth whitening include gum irritation, multi-colored teeth, and increased sensitivity, so your dentist may be able to help talk to you about those and what you can do to improve or avoid those risks. And of course, he or she can give you a professional teeth whitening procedure if you so choose.
