Bleaching

Apart from healthy teeth, a lot of people think radiant white teeth to be the most beautiful thing in the world. There is a vast ray of toothpaste and similar stuff available that promise exactly that, but which do not work at all or even attack the enamel. Better said; erode it. And enamel that is gone is lost forever because your body cannot produce enamel.

Every person has a different tooth color. Tooth color is determined by the tooth bone beneath the enamel. In one person this is grayish or white, in another person it is more yellowish. Enamel itself is transparent. Pigments from coffee, wine, tobacco et cetera can cause discoloration of the teeth. But discoloration can also occur because of a blow or the use of certain medication.
