Cosmetic Considerations

Teeth Whitening has become very popular lately and is great to remove those stains caused by decades of coffee or red wine, but be sure NOT to overdo it. Overuse can remove enamel, the hard white surface of the tooth, and leave you worse off than when you started. Also, the ingredients in whitening products can cause sensitivity; a prebleach fluoride rinse may help, as can using toothpaste for sensitive teeth afterward.
