Everyone wants a beautiful smile, but what’s the best way to remedy stained and discolored teeth.

1. ne of the most rapidly growing fields in dentistry is the practice of cosmetic dentistry in NYC. There
are multiple reasons for this cosmetic dentistry “boom.” First, most people are aware of what proper
dental hygiene is, and the tools to properly clean the teeth are cheap and widely available. It would
be difficult to find a person living in the United States who does not own a toothbrush and some form of
toothpaste or tooth soap. Bad breath is not socially acceptable and the easiest remedy for it is daily tooth
brushing. Therefore, there are fewer cases of rotting and failing teeth until an advanced age. Second, role
models seen in the major forms of media tend to have whitened, attractive smiles. People want to have
the hair, makeup, and fashion that their role models wear, and similarly they want to have white teeth and
attractive smiles. Another reason for the growth in cosmetic dentistry is the rapid advancement of
technologies in recent decades. We are now able to do things in dentistry that were either not possible
many decades ago, or they were cost prohibitive. Now even the Average Joe can get a smile makeover.
The most popular and simplest modality of cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. Anyone who drinks
coffee, tea, soda, green juice, or wine will inevitably suffer from some discoloration or staining of the teeth
over time. In addition, anyone with a chronic illness or those who take certain antibiotics or chemotherapy
will have some darkening of the teeth. No one wants to have a brown, green, or gray smile, so this leaves
a very large majority of the population demanding some form of teeth whitening.
There are many myths around teeth whitening, but there are also a variety of methods that can whiten
your teeth. One myth is that simply brushing and flossing daily should keep the teeth white, and any
discoloration is a sign of poor hygiene. As in the examples stated above, stained teeth are not necessarily
a result of poor hygiene, according to one expert dentist in New York. That being said, a good whitening
toothpaste used twice daily can prevent teeth from becoming discolored.
However, if your teeth are already stained and discolored, the best way of achieving a bright, white smile
is to obtain a home teeth whitening kit from your cosmetic dentist in NYC.
Most dentists will make impressions of your mouth in order to make a tray that you will wear in your
mouth for several hours while you sleep. A custom-made tray will fit your mouth better than a store-
bought one-size-fits-all device that may be uncomfortable. After the custom tray is made, you will receive
whitening gel to put in the tray. After each night’s use, your teeth will progressively get a little bit lighter.
When your teeth are at the shade that you desire, you will simply stop using the gel. A whitening
toothpaste can be used to help maintain the white shade for longer than an ordinary toothpaste would.
