Tooth Discoloration Problem

Treatment options to whiten teeth can differ depending on the cause of the discoloration and may include:

• Using tooth brushing and flossing methods.
• Avoiding the foods and drinks that make stains.
• In-home bleaching agents took from your dentist.
• In-office whitening procedures.

However, it may take one or more visits, if you get your teeth whitened at your dentist's office. They will put a protective gel on your gums and apply a bleaching agent to your teeth. They can also make a custom-fitted tray that you can use at home with whitening gel.

• Your dentist fuses material to stained areas of your teeth to change their color or shape.
• Your dentist puts a thin cover of material over the whole front of your tooth to change the color or shape.
