At some point, you may decide that it is time to whiten your teeth. There are many reasons why the color of your teeth changes. The things you eat and drink, like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain teeth. Some medications can cause your teeth to darken. If you’ve had an injury to your mouth, the trauma may cause your teeth to change color. And of course, your teeth turn yellow as you get older. There is no shortage of oils and other commercial products that are designed to whiten your teeth, but teeth-whitening may not be for you. And before you begin doing anything to your teeth, you should contact Lakeland Dental Care at 601-981-8166. Dr. Alex Abernathy will be able to advice you as to the best way to whiten your teeth, or even if it is something you should consider.
